So we wandered across the street and found this nice little spot with outside seating and a variety of appealing menu items. We were seated outside quickly and after a little time our waitress came to take our order. As mentioned in my other reviews we have small appetites, so we decided to split the Pizza Salsiccia based on its other reviews. When reading reviews, keep in mind that there are two locations for this restaurant. As I perused the reviews, it appeared that the other location, has more of the five star reviews. Despite that we decided to give it a try. The pizza was flavorful. I am a bit of a pizza aficionado, so my standards are very high. I would give the pizza a 3 star rating because it was very wet in the middle. The type where the topping pull off when pull a slice out. The coffee we had after was very good. Overall I think I can recommend this place with the caveat that I do not recommend the pizza, unless you like that type of dough.

Regarding the food, it was really tasty. I was starving this day, and greedily ate the whole thing. The pizza had good flavor and you could taste the fresh ingredients. It was a little floppy as it was thin crust. Unfortunately they didn't cut the slices, so I had to do it myself. Not sure if that's intentional or not. The limoncello was especially refreshing on that hot day. Please note, I did have to request ice for my water. Evidently in Europe most restaurants don't provide ice freely like in the US. Prices were reasonable for the quality of the food, the allure of the restaurant, & the customer service. I highly recommend.

We immediately jumped not he opportunity, and immediately ordered. Franchesco came out with his wide happy smile and took our order. He a delight to have wait on us. We ordered the mortadella with pieces of parmigiano, a Smoking Hot pizza, and La Fameus Pate a la Truffe. We also ordered a nice bottle of wine from Sicily, Franchesco's homeland. The pizza and the pasta came out first, and we started eating right away. The pizza had the right amount of heat, and the pasta was not overwhelmed with truffles. Then came the mortadella which was delicious. We would have preferred the mortadella first, but we happy ate it. Inside, the place is huge, and loud. The ambiance is modern and feels upscale. As with all places in Europe, the temperature inside was hot- so we were actually happy to be sitting outside. Luckily we were not getting wet under the awning, but it was cold. Luckily, this place also provides blankets for your legs which we happily used. At the end of our meal, Franchesco brought us some Lomoncello and hung out with us telling us about Italy & France. We had an amazing evening, great food, and even better company. Give this place a try. You will not be sorry.

Mozzarella cheese bites were the winner of the evening. So good the crumbs that covered the cheese were just wow. So tasty we ordered 3 servings of it. We ordered a small salad which was a generous portion for all of us. Good variety of wine list and very reasonably priced. Tiramisu was one of the dessert options and every bite met all our expectations.

The story goes that I and the rest of my Nintendo of America colleagues had just finished up a very exciting business conference with our friends over at Nintendo of Europe. After wrap up, we decided to take a small tour around the lovely city of Paris. I, of course, took note of all of the similarities between the real Paris and the version seen in the Mario Kart Tour mobile game. I have to say, Nintendo hits it out of the park once again. We then decided to stop inside the Gemini, since that seemed to be the only restaurant name that I could pronounce. I decided to order the Truffle Pizza, and since I am from New York, I love a good pizza. The first bite and it was already heaven on earth! Truly authentic French food being served at this wonderful establishment. I am also very glad that the waiters entertained my shenanigans when asking them what they thought about Mother 3. I had a good laugh after they didn't even know what I was talking about. Excellent service, great food, and an overall fantstic time for any Nintendo fan wanting to stop in and admire the beautiful jungles of France. Also, don't forget to check out Pikmin 4, which lands in stores July 21st. Thank you for reading this highly anticipated Reggie Review, and I will see you all another time, Switch fans!

Just finished a long bike ride to the Eiffel Tower and worked up an appetite. Decided to go straight to the main course. They are known for Au Gratins. My son is not a cheese fan so he opted for the norvigene (smoked salmon in dill lemon and EVOO. I decided to stick with the house specialty; Landais Au Gratin (cream potatoes, duck breast and emmental cheese). The 2 German girls beside me ordered a cider with both their meals so I followed their lead. When in Paris...... Considering the temperature, I almost second-guess myself and ordered something other than their house specialty of au gratin potatoes. In the end, I was very glad I overruled that thought. Brody enjoyed his meal. He just appeared to still be hungry when it was done and a 16 year-old boy that normally has a high caloric intake, I can understand why he wanted a second meal after eating his first! The restaurant in the patio were quite crowded even though we had reservations. They still sat us within five minutes of arrival. Not that five minutes is a long time to wait, but it was still worth the wait as good as the food tasted. We both enjoyed our meals.

I recently had the pleasure of dining at L'Oliveto, a delightful restaurant nestled in the heart of Paris, and it was an experience that left a lasting impression. Opting for the Formule Midi, which offers incredible value at just 19 euros, I was delighted to indulge in both a main course and a dessert, creating the perfect lunchtime experience without straining my budget. The Linguine alla Bolognese was my chosen main course, and it was an absolute triumph of flavors. The pasta itself was cooked to perfection, with a delightful al dente texture that showcased the chef's mastery. The bolognese sauce was rich, robust, and infused with the essence of traditional Italian cuisine. But what truly elevated this dish was the addition of peas. The burst of freshness and subtle sweetness from the peas created a harmonious balance, adding a unique twist to the classic dish. Every bite was a revelation, leaving me craving for more. To conclude my meal, I indulged in the Tiramisu, and it was a dessert to remember. Each layer of the velvety mascarpone cream was delicately infused with coffee, delivering a symphony of flavors that danced on my taste buds. The smooth texture and the well-balanced sweetness were a testament to the expertise of the pastry chef. It was a moment of pure indulgence, and I savored every spoonful. L'Oliveto in Paris is a wonderful restaurant that offers a delightful culinary experience for those who appreciate good food. Oliveto has earned its reputation as a popular choice for food enthusiasts in Paris, and I am already looking forward to my next visit to sample more of their tempting creations. read more

V & I have been blessed to spend several weeks in the area and we found one that stood above the rest: Chez Pippo. Located on Rue de la Bourdonnais, just steps from the Eiffel Tower, Chez Pippo became our neighborhood favorite during our stay. While restaurants in this part of Paris generally charge a premium because of their location, we found the prices to be in line with the area, and the quality of the food was consistently better than many of the nearby options. V & I have eaten here several times, both dining in and ordering takeout, and every visit has been enjoyable. The Diavola pizza (spicy pepperoni) has clearly been V's default order with its crisp crust, flavorful tomato sauce, just the right amount of spice, and quality ingredients. I love spicy but love pasta more and have tried the pesto (fresh basil and Parmesan), and the Bolognese twice which is very flavorful and comforting. All of the pastas were made in house and cooked al dente as expected. What really separates Chez Pippo from many of the surrounding restaurants is the warm hospitality. The owner clearly takes pride in his restaurant and makes guests feel genuinely welcome literally welcoming every guest. We feel like we got to know him and he would say hello when we walked by. That personal touch, combined with consistently good food and literally downstairs from us kept bringing us back. Is this the best Italian meal you'll ever have? Probably not. But that's also missing the point. Chez Pippo delivers exactly what you're looking for in a neighborhood restaurant: consistently good food, friendly service, a welcoming atmosphere, and an owner who clearly cares about the experience his guests have. In an area filled with restaurants competing for tourists' attention, Chez Pippo earned ours the old-fashioned way. They gave us a reason to come back again and again. If you're staying near the Eiffel Tower and looking for a dependable, enjoyable meal instead of rolling the dice on one of the many surrounding cafés, Chez Pippo is an easy recommendation.
