Who goes to Paris and eats Italian food? Me, that's who! We walked passed the Maria Luisa on our…read moreway to Hint Hunt and we all remarked about how good it smelled - at that point we were all dead set on going there after our activity. To out it in context there was a group of 16 of us and we went in at around 1pm - the whole place was packed but the waitress speedily made room for us and allowed us to dine in two separate groups. The decor was chic with a light dash of hipster. The staff were excellent - it couldn't have been easy trying being French trying to translate Northern Irish accents speaking in broken Italian but they managed well. As for the food, I had the Fromage Calzone which was nothing short of sensational. The flavours were excellent and it was cooked to perfection. The whole vibe of Maria Luisa was great, we never felt rushed at any point and we ended up staying for a few beers in the outside seating area! Top notch!

Yes, they have really good pizza. I had some, once. It was delicious. Everyone else who eats here…read moresays it's amazing. They also have a huge variety of Italian wines, at good prices. Get here early or try to get a reservation. It's always full, and you will have to wait. Gluten-free notes: Sorry, you can't eat the pizza, and you will have to watch everyone else eat pizza. Boo to that. But they do have several huge and tasty Italian salads that you can have. My favorite one (I forget the name) has mozzarella, ham, and a bunch of delicious veggies. They have spicy olive oil on the tables. Drizzle some over your salad, and you'll actually want to come back to a pizza restaurant for salad. Counterintuitive, perhaps. They usually have at least one gluten-free dessert, such as panna cotta.
