This is are new favorite place in Paris. We visited this place back in October 2024 but wanted to leave a review so I remember where this was. Everything was excellent the food was amazing. Best tomato mozzarella dish I ever had my son, parents and I still talk about it. I can't remember what I had for the main course but it was delicious as well. We loved the quiet small setting and all the food tasted fresh and delicious. Definitely will be back again. read more

5 stars! One of the best meals we had in Paris. Low-key and casual with great service. We ordered the house RED and WOW was it good. Try the bolognese! Wonderful! Be sure to make a reservation because this place books up quickly. read more

A gem in the Marais. I stumbled upon Salento when they were in their other location on Rue de Temple and have been coming back ever since. Their savory dishes are the stars as well as Franck, the platinum haired host. Everything I've had was delicious, and every one I have brought has become Salento loyalists. That good. Make that reservation! read more

A nice Italian restaurant. Very busy for a reason. Great food. Even the bread on the side was excellent. Roasted aubergine + Burrata I had as a starter was really good. Ravioli (main) was good, but it was swimming in a sea of single cream. Am I supposed to drink it off? It's kinda hard to eat. Besides, it wasn't contributing much in terms of flavour or texture. read more

Very good food with a good wine selection - unfortunately not much by the glass. My wife had the veal Milanese while I had the veal Saltimbocca. Both were very good with the Saltimbocca being our favorite of the two. Five star service (Thanks Arthur!) always makes for a good experience. read more

Nicest servers ever with a very dim and calm vibe, perfect for a late night dinner! Their beef bolognese was really yummy and everyone else I ate with liked their other dishes as well! read more

We were craving some Italian food and were so delighted to have found Salento. The burrata and prosciutto were perfect for the starter and I thoroughly enjoyed my bolognese! The restaurant is in a really cute location and the staff was amazing! Highly recommend! But make sure to make a reservation, it's a smaller restaurant and doesn't take walk-ins. read more

What a treat ! I've been to so many restaurants in Paris this is easily a top 5 for me. They have exceptional service the waiter does it all on man army gotta love that. He is extremely polite speaks English and french and has a really warm smile. The resto it self isn't big so call ahead, they open at 7 so call then or the day before. The place started getting packed near the end of the evening and lucky for me where I was sitting there was a sliding door I could escape without bumping anyone's table. Food was amazing, I would defs go back and recommend it to anyone who's looking a good place and not a tourist trap. read more

Thank you Yelp for helping us find this gem of an Italian restaurant. It's on a corner, unassuming but bright and warm when you enter. People are sitting elbow to elbow but no one cares since they're so focused on their delicious meals. Full house. Filled with locals. Great Yelp reviews. We're in! Truffle pasta, prosciutto, pine nuts, sausage...Oh My! You could hear a pin drop at our table once our food arrived. All unbelievable and generous portions-by Parisian standards. And while it was a one man show in the dining room, you'd never know it. Service is courteous, attentive, and swift. Food. Check. Service. Check Happy. Check GO. Made a return visit to their new location and the food was even better than I remembered. This Gem is a staple, I Will be back! read more

Salento Marais was AMAZING. Seriously, if you're in Paris and looking for delicious, authentic Italian food, you have to stop by. The staff were very friendly and speak both French and English, so don't let a potential language barrier stop you from coming. We ordered several bottles of wine and appreciated their recommendations each time. Their house bread was fresh and piping hot. We stared with bruschetta and charcuterie (because in Paris, you have to always factor in a charcuterie board). The drinks and appetizers were nicely paced to not make our main entrees feel rushed. I ordered the Rigatoni alla crema di tartufo (black truffle cream rigatoni and parma ham). I am not exaggerating or deploying needless hyperbole when I say this dish is LIFE CHANGING. Too often, restaurants overdo the truffle flavor, but truffles were perfectly used here. The rigatoni had a deep creamy flavor without feeling overwhelming or cheap. The parma ham was a delicious addition that added even more complexity to the dish. I can't wait to come back next time I'm in Paris. I can only hope that one day, Salento Marais will make the jump across the Atlantic and open a location in Washington, DC. read more

Salento Marais - Rigatoni alla crema di tartufo (black truffle cream rigatoni & parma ham) - Italian Near Me - Paris, 75

Small restaurant in the quiet section of the Marais. Excellent service on this busy Friday night, but our host/server was kind and attentive. Reservations are a must! We started off with bruschetta, which was everything anyone who loves this appetizer could ever want. It was simple, restrained and made with fresh Parisian bread, OMG. My son ordered the Risotto Prosciutto, cooked to perfection - creamy, delicious and al dente. I'm a vegetarian and don't always have a ton of options when eating out, so my usual go to is Pasta Arrabbiata, and at Salento, I was pleasantly surprised to say the least. The arrabbiata sauce was probably the best I've ever experienced and tasted as if made from the freshest ingredients. We will definitely be back for more. read more

Super cozy this definitely was one of my best place to eat in Paris. Waiter guy was super sweet. Loved the ambience. They have amazing wine/ food/ dessert choices. I basically used Yelp to look for this place and thought this place deserves more than 5 stars for sure. Serving authentic Italian food and desserts. I can't believe how well they prepared the food, how well wines went so well with the flavor of the food. Even their sample olives tasted amazing 1. Bologna / 5/5 perfectly prepared noodles and sauce 2. Zucchini risotto: best risotto I've ever had !!!! A lot of ppl ordered truffle pasta and tiramisu, and I bet they were delicious as well Definitely recommend this place for trying authentic Italian food in Paris when they get bored of eating French food. I loved this place more than any place I tried during my stay read more

Good Italian food in Paris! I ordered the beef bolognese pasta, my mom had the same and my dad had the Gorgonzola risotto with sliced pear. For starters, we had bruschetta and a roasted vegetable salad. The bruschetta was good! Very fresh tasting. The roasted vegetable salad left something to be desired. I wasn't that impressed with the flavors. Our dinner was very good! The bolognese was very hearty and the pasta tasted homemade! I loved it and luckily was starving! It was a huge dish! The risotto was fantastic! The cheesy risotto with the light sweet pear was impeccable. It was amazing. We were so full when we left! It was a very good meal. read more

Super delicious Italian with indoor and outdoor seating at a quiet corner in Marais :)

Incredible! Make your reservation now! If you want fresh delicious pasta, make your way here. You will need to make a reservation at least the day before to get a table. The pasta is amazing, the bruschetta app was incredible and burrata was a perfection addition. This place is tiny but packed, everyone is ordering plentiful amounts of food and wine and enjoying themselves. The service is great and friendly. I ordered the speck pasta and my mom ordered the ravioli- both were delicious. If I'm back in Paris I will be coming back, one of the best meals in Paris! YUM! read more

Oh man. Oh man. Oh man! I was doing some serious yelping to find a great Italian spot to dine at while in Paris. Having spent time in Italy, both studying and visiting, I'm very picky with my Italian foods. This place delivered. I had the rigatoni with black truffle cream sauce, and goodness gracious it was just so darn good!! It does have a few dollar signs next to it on Yelp, but don't let that scare you away. My dish of pasta was €20 plus another 5 for some wine, but it's worth it. My one star off was about my seating, which wasn't entirely in the restaurants control. I arrived at 8pm for dinner on my own, and there was only one table left (meant for two) that I was seated at, and it was right by the door. Although it was nice to look out the window as people passed by, the cold air from the door opening and closing was quite annoying. Go around 7 before it really fills up, because (I counted) and there are only about 20 seats in the house, and it's still cramped with that. read more

This place is amazing! We made a reservation. We each felt like it was the best Italian we have had outside of Italy. We had the speck pasta, bolognese, the mushroom tortellini, and the zucchini risotto. Such amazing food and excellent service. We are going back tonight for our last night in Paris! read more

After a couple of weeks of non-stop French cuisine, we decided to have Italian for a change. Salento came out of the search because of its high customer rating. It didn't disappoint. Both food and service were excellent. We saved it for future visits to Paris. read more

This place has great food and great service. We had 2 pasta dishes and a carafe of white wine. We loved the food, atmosphere and service so much we came back a few days later. We will definitely return on our next trip to Paris. Try the salmon pasta (lots of salmon and fresh dill). We also loved the speck pasta dish. read more

Salento was amazing! The restaurant is really small so make sure you make reservations. I ordered a spinach ravioli in cream sauce and my husband had the Rigatoni with black truffle cream. Both were SO good! Really hearty and flavorful. I wish I could have taken some with us back home! Definitely a must visit restaurant in Les Marais. It was for sure our best meal during our stay in Paris read more

So, what do you do when you're in Paris, and you don't *really* like French food? You go to Salento for some delicious Italian food instead. After a day full of wandering around Paris, the Mister and I found ourselves in La Marais around dinnertime. Trip Advisor (sorry Yelp) pointed us to Salento, and I'm so glad it did! We got there early - around 7pm - and we practically had the place to ourselves. It's a tiny little restaurant that's beautiful and intimate - yet decidedly casual. Our server, a charmingly handsome (read: hot) French boy, was sweet, helpful, attentive, and had zero pretense. After throwing some of my terrible French at him, he spoke perfect English to me the rest of the night. He really was fantastic and made our experience great. We started the dinner with espresso (yes, yes - I know), and it was the best we had in Europe. Then, we split an appetizer of bruschetta, which was simple, yet delicious. As for our main courses, the Mister had pasta with red sauce and meatballs, and I had ricotta ravioli with a light and creamy sauce. Both were top-notch. I can't recommend Salento enough, and I would totally go back next time I'm in Paris. read more

By far one of my favorite Italian restaurants! (El Barzon in Detroit is my favorite too ;)) read the great reviews when I was in Paris and I'm so glad I had the chance to experience this fine establishment. Very small and intimate, maybe 10 tables, no more. Friendly server, I think it was a one-man show when we were there (maybe it's like that all the time). In any case, it was the best service, the best pasta, the best wine, while accompanied by the best people. Pasta was cooked al dented and I had the black truffle pasta with prosciutto... Oh. My. Goodness. I daydream about this you guys. read more

YES. Bonne addresse for sure. I created an account to review this place. I'm not a snob about Italian food in Paris but I've been to some nice restaurants and this is the only one that hasn't overcooked the pasta. Good service, I was a huge fan of the music too. Not sure why Yelp doesn't have a price rating - Salento is on par with most Paris sit-down dinners, i.e. entrée + plat + glass of wine will run you 30-35 euros. Also not sure why it wasn't packed, remains to be discovered I guess. read more

I went here with my wife and we ABSOLUTELY LOVED THIS place! She ordered the vongole pasta and I ordered the bolognese pasta. Both were beyond delicious! It was the noodles that really amazed me. My wife and I have had pasta all over the world and we've never tasted noodle as good as they make it there! It was cooked PERFECTLY! Just the right amount of bite to it. And the sauces were perfect too! If you come to Paris, you need to come here! read more

Absolutely amazing food and service. We were so lucky to have gotten in before the reservations and quickly got out in order to not interrupt the other guests and it was such a great experience. I would definitely recommend making a reservation here if you are in Paris and enjoying the comfort of the greatly prepared food in their cute space. read more

OK, YOU NEED RESERVATIONS HERE PEOPLE!!!!!! This place is well worth it. The food is incredible. We have been here several time over the last 2 years. We have eaten many of their dishes, all fantastic!!! If it is your first time, the Bolognese Pappardelle is 110% PERFECT DELICIOUS Italian cuisine! So filling but so good!!!!!!!! We have had many different staff that have waited on us, we really enjoy Franck!! He is very handsome and funny. His dry sense of humor is so welcomed!!! Nice guy once you get to know him. The entire staff is great. Fast, friendly and sup good foods.......This place is a gem!!!! Merci! read more

Had the best salmon here last night. It was a sizable piece rolled in a pistachio crust cooked to perfection. The caprese was a great starter and thr chocolate desert excellent. read more

Awesome delicious food. The restaurant is very small, very intimate. They have only one waiter but he seems to be able to tend to everyone without delay. It's a one man show and he was super nice to us non French speaking Americans. Some places I've been to and they weren't so nice. Food was delicious. We ordered burrata pugliese for appetizer, pappardelle il bolognesse and dish of the day which was veal with mushroom and pasta. The bolognesse and burrata were delicious, the veal was eh, could be better. Best to make reservation or come eighth when they open. read more

I really have no idea how one waiter handles the entire restaurant. I was in awe of him the entire night. He was excellent. We started with the bruschetta, which I didn't enjoy as the tomatoes didn't taste as fresh as I am used to and the dish needed a little more balsamic or something else. The pumpkin soup my husband had was good and needed a little more spice added to it as the pumpkin flavor was a little thick and heavy. Masked with their delicious crisp prosciutto, it was good. We had the bolognese and the artichoke rigatoni. Pasta was al denote and both were excellent. To me they weren't quite as good as NY Italian. We made the mistake of ordering two dishes: you only need one to share between two people because it is a lot of food. All in all it was a good Italian meal in Paris. read more

This tiny but warm and welcoming restaurant dished up what was one of the best meals I've ever had. My wife and I were in Paris for our honeymoon and for our last night we chose Salento without knowing much about it. We ate there Thursday, January 14, 2016, for dinner. The starters were great; bruschetta and vegetable flans; the flans were particularly delicious. My wife had ravioli in cream sauce. They were fantastic. It was my main dish, however, that truly stole the show. The rigatoni with black truffle cream sauce and Parma ham is a perfect pairing; every bite was a thrilling rush of umami, and the obviously homemade pasta was perfectly cooked. The one waiter there was very busy but full of good humor and served us well. read more

So happy we found this place! Both the food and service are incredible. We ate there twice while staying in Le Marais. Dishes we tried included risotto with pears and Gorgonzola, rigatoni with truffles, tortellini with mushrooms, pasta with sausage, eggplant with mozzarella, alfogatto, and panacotta Every dish was quite memorable, as were both bottles of wines. This restaurant will leave a lasting impression on you and your taste buds! Grateful to have had the experience of dining here twice! read more

This was my favorite meal this trip. Very small restaurant, but excellent Italian food. Service was also friendly and thorough. I had the pasta with truffle sauce and ham it was great and very filling. read more

Very good Italian, plus veggie friendly - ask waitress. Make a reservation however, it's small.

Oh my goodness. The food here was perfect. The service was excellent and the waiter did speak English. Confirmed that it appears to be a one man show for the less than 10 tables. A bit cramped but not an issue at all. We had the Gnochi and rigatoni with truffle oil. So upset when the meal was over. read more

Could be the best lunch deal in the Marais. Just 13 Euros for a choice (today) of two fantastic pastas. One with a cream, ham, and zucchini sauce, the other with cheese, eggplant, and fresh basil. Wow. Great. Plus only 2 Euros to add coffee, or 4 Euros to add coffee and a beverage (including a glass of wine). Highly recommended. read more

This restaurant went above and being expectations. The food and service were both high quality; we ordered carciofi rigatoni e taleggio (artichoke pasta) and rigatoni alla trevigiana (pasta with sausage and buffalo mozzarella). Being someone who doesn't normally eat artichoke, I was surprised by how much I loved the artichoke pasta! It is not horribly expensive either! Pasta and meat dishes range from 10-18 euro. It is a fantastic value for your price!! Definitely make a reservation if you plan to go during the weekend. read more

Randomly popped into this resto after spending a few hours in the Modern Art Museum in the Pompidou Centre. Dishes are simple, quickly prepared, and downright delicious. I had a escalope of chicken in marsala wine sauce, which was tender and moist, and accompanied by rigatoni in an amazing mushroom sauce. It was so good that I might have floated out of the restaurant when I was done. Best yet, the meal was quite reasonably priced -- especially being in such a tourist area. read more
