Yay, I get to write the first English review! During our trip to Paris we stayed somewhat on the…read moreedge of the city in a location where there weren't a lot of exciting options that were open well into the evening. Having already ventured into the nearby Le McDonald's for a previous meal because Americans, we decided on Pizza Cosi. First off, this place is pretty cosi. (See what I did there?) I wasn't sure what to expect foodwise here. Given that we were in Europe, would it be American- or Italian-style? Given the ambiance of the place, I was more expecting the former (which turned out to be accurate), and thus I was worried that I might be disappointed due to my admitted snobbishness regarding pizza. But I didn't have worried as our meat pizza was quite tasty with a thin crust that fortunately was neither greasy nor excessively floppy. Summary: Cosi on up.

If I have ever been addicted to pasta, this is THE place for me!…read more It located right at the corner out of Croix de Chavaux subway station in Paris (Line 9). It was walking distance from my apartment, and one day I become a fan customer of it, and went there almost everyday. Cute little restaurant, everybody speaks Italian--even though I don't--and are really really friendly. Once they even protected me from being chased by a weird guy from the subway station--The guy started to harass me since I got off the subway, and didn't seem to want to leave me alone. I was so scared, so I ran out of the subway station, and went directly into the restaurant--thanks God they were still open!!--I told them that one guy was chasing me and asked them to let me stay for a bit. There were still a lot of customers in the restaurant, but they warmly directed me to sit down and gave me a drink to calm me down. They went out many time to check that guy, until they scared him away, and made sure that I was ok to go home by myself. Totally saved my life!!!! The food...I don't know how the pasta in Italy really tastes like, but I have to say their pasta was one of the best I had! I almost tried every single one on their menu, never disappointed! I remember our final of the marketing class was a case about pasta, my roommate and I decided to go to that restaurant to get some idea from it...so we went, food was as good as it was always, and we have talked to the servers a lot...and guess what, we both got A from our HORRIBLY strict marketing professor!!! Overall, it had always been delightful experience dining there, delicious food with relatively cheap price, and warm staff that make me feel like home.
