    Sun dried tomato pesto
    Grace L.

    Really good gluten free pasta. Patio was so nice and on a busy street. Service was meh, took a while to get drinks and we never got the water carafe that we asked for several times.

    Margherita pizza

    Omg, YES, YES, YES! Love everything about this restaurant! Wildy friendly staff, welcoming, cozy decor and the FOOD is AMAZING! Everything we tried on our two visits during our trip to Paris was delicious. Everything tastes fresh and homemade from the sauce to the pasta. We shared the Burrata Panée (creamy, fried burrata with tomato sauce) to the Bastoncini di mozzarella (mozzarella sticks) as apps and my son swears the mozz sticks were the best he ever had. We enjoyed several entrees, including Risotto al salmone with Tomato sauce, shellfish bisque, fresh salmon & chives, the Lasagna alla bolognese, Orecchiette con pollo e funghi, the margherita pizza and more. There is a lot of seating inside, but also outside and they bring blankets to take the chill off. This restaurant was a highlight after long days of tours and museums and we are grateful to Oliver from Le Novotel Hôtel de Les Halles for the recommendation.

    Stumbled upon this restaurant and I'm so happy we did. The drinks, food, and ambiance was amazing. This place has a local feel and local prices! A must visit when in Paris.

    Cannelloni ricotta e spinaci

    Came across this restaurant in Paris because it was like a 10 minute walk from my AirBnB. We were looking for something to eat for dinner and decided to go with Italian food since we weren't big fans of the french cuisine. Literally my favorite Italian restaurant in Paris!! The food we ordered was absolutely amazing! We ordered spaghetti with meatball sauce, a margarita pizza and a Cesar salad. The portions were huge which made my friends and i super happy because we were able to share the 3 plates between each other and the staff was very attentive. After my food i ordered a cappuccino because my friend back home told me that Paris have the best cappuccinos so i had to try it. At La Perla the cappuccino was average, nothing to be amazed by. However, i was very satisfying with everything else specially with the delicious food we ordered after eating really bad french food somewhere else.

    Calamari and spinach casserole really good! Good service as well

    Went twice for dinner here! We also had Salmon and pizza margarita and everything was really good

    So good I got to take it home to snack on

    We had already had dinner, and gone home to rest, but I woke up starving, and thankfully just a couple doors down from our apartment was La Perla - open late enough for us! (They close at 11.) I had the pizza Diavolo (saucisses piquantes, poivrons, olives, tomates cerise). (hot sausages, bell peppers, olives, cherry tomatoes). (15,90 euro) Did it hit the spot? For sure! It was nice to sit outside, though the night had grown quiet and chilly, and enjoy a glass of red wine (not the best - b/c Italian;) with this truly spicy pizza. Also the waiter was quite funny and very nice. "It's hot you know." - he warned me "Well it does mean the devil." - I winked. And yes - it really was spicy; the sausages had great heat to them and on the table was a very 'piquante' oil I added on top of the pizza. Did my stomach like me in the morning? No, not at all. Was it happy that night? For sure! Not the best place in Paris, but a safe bet for good pizza! (and potentially other stuff I didn't get a chance to try!) Give it a go if you're in the area, particularly if it's getting late in the evening ;)

    We ate here twice on a recent trip to Paris. The happy hour specials are great. The food is amazing. The staff is fantastic. The location is lively and we would definitely come back. Spaghetti Bolognese is absolutely delicious! Staff was willing to accommodate some of my picky kiddos requests and always did so with smiles! Highly recommend!

    Amazing service. The management is very involved in making sure that every single customer feels important and valued. Smiles are bright. Check ins are well timed. Service is inhumanly fast. I've been here a couple times and I've never had any dish that I didn't love. Absolute must is the truffle mushroom pizza and the truffle risotto.

    The salmon looks pretty brown on some parts even though it was supposed to be fresh smoked salmon

From the host who greeted me and accommodated my slight tardiness on my reservation, to the server who took my order. The vibes here are immaculate. It's very aesthetic. I would've preferred to be on the 4th floor but the 3rd floor was unique and pretty on its own. The bar was particularly eye catching. I was also very amused by my fish shaped water bottle. 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 settled on Ober Mamma, which had wonderful reviews. We got there, there was a line and it was raining. the chances of having a sit-down meal at this packed place were grilled, until they gave us the opportunity to sit outside. 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.

Open kitchen concept where you can see the chefs happily cooking or cooking all stressed out lol. Our server was Izaya very friendly, well spoken and caring. He ensured our allergies were taken care of. He was fast with his service and continuously checked up on us to ensure we had everything we needed. Now food, mama Margherita pizza was freshly made so you have to really wait it out before taking a bite to ensure you don't burn your mouth. Pizza was evenly baked and crust was even yummy. 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. Overall great experience here they do squeeze a lot of people in there so you could be elbowing your neighbor on another table.

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.
