The location is perfect, just a short walk from the Eiffel Tower. The restaurant is small with limited seating, but the menu is incredibly vast and flexible, and they're happy to make any modifications you need. The service was outstanding. Our server, Joanna, was half Italian and half French and absolutely wonderful. She went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed and even helped us pair wines perfectly with our dishes. We ordered a mix of vegetarian and non-vegetarian items, and every single dish was fantastic. The risotto was incredible, the vegetable penne was delicious, the burrata salad was fresh and flavorful, and the pesto was superb. The pistachio tiramisu was one of the best desserts I had in Paris as well. The cozy atmosphere, cleanliness, and top-notch service made the experience even better. I'd highly recommend this restaurant to anyone, vegetarian or not, looking for an exceptional meal in Paris.

During our extended stay in Paris, V & I found ourselves returning to Gusta Italiana twice, and…read morethat's usually the best compliment we can give a neighborhood restaurant. There are so many places to eat in the 7th, but when everyone in the family agrees to go back, they must be doing something right because for me it was neither the atmosphere nor the service. Our daughters joined us on both visits so we had the chance to see and sample several different dishes. The linguine with clam sauce was fresh, light, and full of flavor without being overpowering. The carbonara was prepared traditionally with a rich, silky sauce that let the quality of the pancetta and pasta shine. V ordered the Bolognese on both visits because it was simply that good. It was hearty but felt light if you can imagine that, and that was directly attributable to the homemade pasta itself. "Homemade" is a consistent theme in France which is so refreshing compared to the US but doesn't guarantee a good meal (which you'll understand if you read another one of my reviews about a certain Italian restaurant on Avenue Montaigne). One thing Gusta Italiana does particularly well is presentation. Every dish arrived looking as though genuine care had gone into its preparation. The portions were generous, the pasta twisted perfectly in a large deep dish, and the kitchen was consistently strong across both visits. If I had one criticism, it would be the service. It wasn't at all unfriendly but was understaffed for a busy July and lacked the appropriate follow-up and attentiveness that the prices and experience deserve. The atmosphere was meh because it's tiny and simple inside, and they have a little terrace outside in the street (leftover from COVID). For me, Gusta Italiana earns a solid four stars for the food and three stars for the service and atmosphere. Fortunately, the quality coming out of the kitchen is what matters most, and that's what brought us back a second time. If you're in the 7th arrondissement and are looking for consistently well-prepared Italian food, Gusta Italiana is well worth a visit. Sometimes a restaurant doesn't need to be flashy. It just needs to serve good food, consistently, and Gusta Italiana does exactly that.

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.

We stumbled on the street rue de Satory, which is loaded with restaurants. Via Veneto looked like a nice place, had the outdoor seating we were looking for, and the recipe looked good. The two folks who served us were very nice, and our food came out relatively quickly. For our group of six, four people got the margherita pizza, and two of us the ham & cheese calzone. The pizza was okay, but the calzone was massive, and very good. It was a nice break from all the great French food restaurants we had been hitting.

O'Bottega was simple, quick, and oh so tasty! Terrific crust, great tasting ingredients, cooked perfectly. A great go to when craving pizza! FOOD: Had the pepperoni pizza. Went with one of the classics. This one was done so well. Not your typical pepperoni but a much higher quality than usual. And the cheese was just the right amount bit to overpower the pepperoni but enough to give you that hot cheesy goodness in each bite. Love how they cooked it with just a bit of char in their authentic stone oven to give it that perfect balance. The crust on the bottom is super thin but the edges were nice and fluffy for that awesome chew. SERVICE: Excellent all the way around. Quick, delicious, well packaged, and friendly helpful service. Spoke English really well and made this visitor feel welcome COST: About 20 euro per person and for the quality well worth it. Pizza is about 12" and would definitely come back
