It's odd that this place has only one review on Yelp... full disclaimer, the other review is by my partner. Fear not though, Trip Advisor has over 180 reviews, mostly great, so you know we're legit. Anyway, this was our last meal in Europe and the wifey was getting mad because she wanted me to do some research to find a place to eat. Fine... so I found this place online with good reviews. She loves Italian so why not Italian in Paris? Bonus, it was located in our favourite neighbourhood, Montmarte. It took a little bit of time to find this restaurant as it's in a non-touristy area of Montmarte. We got lost once or twice, but Paris/Montmarte so, c'est la vie. When we finally arrived, there was only one other party in the restaurant, also tourists. We were welcomed by a lady and a doggy who I guess lives there during business hours. We were given a welcome drink and a small glass of pretzels. They said it was on the house. Score.
In addition to the menu, they a portable chalkboard with the daily specials. We had to wait for the boss lady to present the menu to the other party, allow the other party to decipher what the words meant, and then have them decide what to order. Must have been over 10 minutes before we were even able to see the specials. At least we could hear what was going on a little bit so I had an idea of what was on the menu. Plus we spoke more French than the other party so that helped move things along.
I thought my wife would order the mushroom truffle and cheese ravioli since those are all her favourite things but she went for the lasagna. Therefore, to be a great husband, I ordered the mushroom truffle and cheese ravioli so she could try some. Although both were really good, I think she was jealous that she didn't order the ravioli. I was glad she passed on it as well since it was tasty and fresh. The pasta in both dishes were prepared fresh in the basement and they were legit Italian made.
Half way through our meal the restaurant started to fill up with locals, including various couples on dates so that was a good sign. Overall, I enjoyed this restaurant and would even come back on my next visit. read more
