We had a tour booked for the Louvre at 10:00 am, but because of a strike, the museum was not going…read moreto open until 2:00. 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.

We also wanted to eat Italian food and figured why not give it a shot. We walked in about 1 o'clock in the afternoon and the restaurant was completely packed from front to end. We were however, seated fairly quickly in one of the only open tables available. Our waiter was quick and efficient. I ordered a seafood pasta dish and my cousin ordered a mushroom risotto. She adored her risotto. I enjoyed my pasta. It did have a lot of mussels and it was a hearty portion.

The focaccia through us off a little but . But it was good.

We had a big family lunch at Pink Mamma a few weeks ago after a Sunday morning visit to Montmartre…read more I booked the table about a month in advance, and it was easy to do, even for a party of 11. There was no back-and-forth prior to our lunch, we just made the reservation online and showed up. Pink Mamma is part of the Big Mamma family, a popular French Italian restaurant group (Italian restaurants, French group) with locations across Europe. This one occupies four stories in a flatiron-shaped building in Pigalle, the exterior tiled in a bright flamingo pink. Our table was on the top level, a sunny space with a cheerful greenhouse aesthetic, sheer curtains over walls of windows, vines lacing through ceiling beams and chandeliers. We glimpsed the other floors on our way up, and every space seemed to be decorated to the max, including the stairwells. I guessing this place plays well on social media. Our lunch got off to a bumpy start when we were presented with a family style menu and told it was the only option for a party of our size. It came with starters, pizzas, pastas, all good stuff, for €55 per person. This seemed fair, except that the children were also counted, and we'd have to pay €55 each for my six-year-old (who eats nothing), my three-year-old (who eats like a three-year-old), and my niece, a two-year-old in a high chair (who, in fairness, eats as much as some adults). A lot of money, and likely a lot of wasted food. Our server was this Italian woman who showed everything on her face, and we could all tell she was annoyed that we questioned this policy, and annoyed further that she had to go ask management about our kids. It felt a little adversarial, and her attitude persisted when she came back with the regular menus. We ended up ordering a big a la carte spread, and it was plenty of food and much cheaper than €55 a head. Thankfully, our waiter softened up once the meal got going, and she was quite nice to us for most of our visit. This was a relief, especially towards the end, when my six-year-old threw up all over the floor. It was mostly water, and I cleaned it up, but both our server and another employee showed up and offered their help and kindness. Traveling with kids is an adventure, and I did indulge in a cocktail with lunch. I got The Big Pisco and it was delicious, a refreshing, summery drink with Cuatro Gallos Pisco Puro Italia, apricot liqueur, fennel, and lime. My husband got the French Touch, a cool gin drink with Tanqueray, elderflower, raspberry, cucumber, lemon, and R. Gerbaux l'Epicurien champagne. The food was great. We started with a few orders of the melone, prosciutto, and mozzarella appetizer, as well as the insalata Siciliana. The melon, Parma prosciutto, and buffalo were high quality and delicious, drizzled with olive oil and a little black pepper. The salad was fresh, green, and flavorful, with Sicilian broccoli, green beans, rocket, roasted zucchini, and tzatziki. There was also a complimentary basket of good, crusty bread. We shared a bunch of pasta, doubling up on the spaghettoni alla Vittorio, the mezze rigatoni alla Gricia, and the fazzoletti ricotta e spinaci. The spaghettoni was a nice al dente pasta with Datterini tomato sauce and parmesan. The rigatoni was rich and satisfying, with salsa cacio pepe, guanciale, and black pepper. The fazzoletti were fresh pasta filled with lemony ricotta and spinach, tossed in a sage butter sauce, with parmesan on top. We got two kinds of pizza for the table, the Mammargherita and the Spicy Calabrese. I actually booked Pink Mamma in large part because it had pizza, which I thought would be good for the kids a few days into our trip. Too bad my son couldn't enjoy it, because it was quite tasty, if a little on the wet, floppy side. The margherita came with a great San Marzano DOP tomato sauce, plus mozzarella and parmesan. The Spicy Calabrese had the same sauce and mozzarella, along with 'nduja, spicy pork salsiccia, caramelized red onion, and tarragon. This wasn't a perfect experience, but we had a lovely lunch despite the hiccups. I'd recommend Pink Mamma if you're looking for a stylish restaurant near Montmartre.

This place is legit! We were tired of eating French traditional cuisine so we looked for a place…read morethat was good and not too far from where we were saying in La Villette. 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.

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.

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.

We also really enjoyed the Rigatoni Maria Rosa which had some really tasty cured meat layered on there that elevated the dish. They have great cocktails as well. Highly recommend stopping in for a casual bite or even a date night.
