    Orrechiette with burrata, ricotta pizza and cheesy bread
    Anjoli F.

    One of the best if not the best Italian dining experiences I've had. Everything was just so lovely! The ambience, friendly and hard working staff, the menu, and one cannot forget to praise the giant copper canister of hot chili oil!! I've never seen that and it's amazing, and I must replicate at home. It gets super busy so be patient and don't expect to sit right away. And the "focaccia" bread as you can see from the picture, wasn't focaccia but rather the same dough used for pizza. But I'm not complaining! DEF RECOMMEND!!

    Saumon avocat salad, focaccia with pesto, some pasta dish
    Yvette 'Divie' E.

    I love Paris and this neighborhood! And for my first meal back in the city after 1.5 years (with greater dietary flexibility), The Little Italy didn't disappoint. Food/drinks - No complaints! I enjoyed the saumon avocat salad; fresh sushi grade salmon, light yet filling, unexpected flavor with the grapefruit pieces. I also tasted the pesto focaccia (it's basically pesto covered pizza with pull-away knots the side of dinner rolls on the edges); hot and yummy. Glass of house rosé was not too sweet and perfect complement. Service: It's Paris and not a Michelin restaurant, so honestly I didn't have high expectations. Our food came out swiftly, at the right temperature; we were able to flag someone fairly quickly to ask for water and the bill. Ambiance: It's cute. Closely arranged outdoor café style seating. Beautiful greenery, wood, and pops of color. And I didn't sit on one but some tables have swings for seats! Felt lively. Tip: get there for dinner before the 7:30/8 pm rush. Verdict: Food and ambiance was good enough to look forward to going back (and service wasn't a deal breaker).

    Perhaps I just got lucky in comparison to the other reviewers, but I had a really nice lunch here with a friend on a Sunday in September 2020. We arrived around noon on a sunny day, and it was pretty empty, although it filled up shortly after and was busy by the time we left, so we probably got in just before the lunch rush. We had our pick of seats, and picked a table on the terrace, which was beautifully decorated. My friend had been before and recommended the pesto rosso, which she warned me was a bit spicy but delicious. We both ordered this, and it was served with tomatoes in a photogenic metal pan. It was indeed a bit spicy, but very flavorful and satisfying. I would happily order it again. When she brought it out, the server indicated to us that usually it is made with a different shape of pasta, but they had run out of that. I was fine with it and my friend, who had had the dish before, didn't have any complaints. After the pasta, we both ordered the tiramisu because I have probably never left an Italian restaurant without first having tiramisu. This came in a pretty huge serving, which they scooped out in front of you from the full tiramisu. It was fantastic, and I really forced myself to finish it even though I was pretty full already. The texture and flavor were beautiful, definitely order this! The restaurant is located right by the metro station Place de Clichy (lines 2 and 13).

    Very happy with my chilli pepper

    The service is terrible. This is PARIS people! If you are traveling to the highest visited place in the world and do not know this you are simply ignorant to the culture of this city. This is not America. If you intend on eating low priced food in areas with high tourist volume than expect not to be waited on like in the states! The waiters will NoT come and check on you, refill water, or even bring you water for that matter without you asking. This is normal behavior for most waiters in Paris unless you are fine dining, in which case have the right to complain. Now why 5 stars? As a traveler I value; Good food*, Good location*, Clean restroom*, Affordability*, and Free WiFi*. lIttle Italy get 5 stars on all of the above criteria. The food is delicious and they even have a happy hour! I always get the same thing, a pizza- because that's what they are known for. For drinks- stick with beer or wine ( again, what the French and Italians are known for) and you'll enjoy your choice ! I come to Paris every year at least 5 times per my stay in the country.

    Really cool outdoor seating area (some seats are replaced by chain rope swings). Was very busy on the night we went. Split a bottle of wine for only 19 euro and had spaghetti bolognese and pizza. Both were solid, and I'm sure many other menu items would have been good as well. Not the best meal we had in Paris, but still great!!!

    I honestly was trying to give this place the benefit of the doubt being that the other reviews here aren't amazing.. unfortunately I ended up almost ready to run out. I ordered a ravioli which sounded delicious on the menu but when it came it wasn't ravioli at all. The waiter brought me rigatoni and then said it's because they didn't have ravioli. Lol ummm I might've wanted to have known that before you ordered something else for me. I sent it back and ordered something else only to realize that it was the same thing I just had with some meat on it. Lol. Anywho, I ordered a drink and it was disgusting. Can't even remember the name of it to be honest but I'll post the pic. So yea, not my fav decision Coming here being in Paris the first time. Gave them a two star because the waiter wasn't bad on the eyes.

    This place has amazing food!!! I had fresh pasta with salmon and it was amazing. We also had fresh veggies and the focaccia . I really want to give this place the full 5 stars but I cannot because our server was awful. He was terrible. He ignored us after we ate and never checked on us. We had to ask several times for water. We had to hunt him down to pay our bill... the restaurant was packed, it's very loud and extremely busy but the food is amazing good and fresh! Would go again. Hopefully have a better server.

    Loved this place! While in Paris, France recently, we happened on The Little Italy for dinner. It had a lovely seating area outside and even though it was November, we chose to experience dining outside on the packed street seating. The line was about 6 people deep when we walked up and they had a hostess outside greeting people and seating them at available tables. We must have been the smallest of the parties, because she sat us immediately. Our waiter came and took our drink orders, and because the menu was in French, we asked for his recommendation. He suggested a pasta la carbonara, served in its own skillet, and a couple of appetizers. It was delicious and plenty! Our waiter was fabulous, as well as the hostess!

    Burned margarita pizza.....

    Burned margarita pizza..... house white wine was terrible... did not get our bread with the mozzarella bufala that we ordered extra. Atmosphere and music is nice. Tables too close and we were sat in the middle of the inside room. I had to constantly move for everyone to walk by.

    Pistachio tiramisu. The classic tiramisu was better
    Madison B.

    Absolutely amazing food and welcoming service. They had an english menu and spoke English decently, which was helpful for us. My mother had the risotto and I had the cacio e pepe, both of which were absolutely amazing and one of the best meals we've ever had. Wide selection of wines. Service was a bit slow, but it was a very busy night and our servers were still helpful. They knew to approach us for dessert and the check, since we as Americans aren't used to asking.

    My husband and I had the BEST pizza and tiramisu of our lives. It is our first day in Paris, so we may find others that are better. The staff was very kind and friendly. While the food service was very quick, the bar service took longer than we would have liked to serve our beverages. Overall it was a good experience. I would recommend, but am not going to go back on this trip due to wanting to try different restaurants.

    It was near our hotel. The food and service was just okay. Maybe the other dishes were better. The restaurant has a lot of charm and very cute. The porcelain plates were cute.

When we told the server that there was a rat all he said was "this is Paris" we asked if he could move it and he said "no, this is Paris don't worry." If it was just Paris we wouldn't have had other parisians in the restaurant being freaked out about. I get it we are Americans and aren't used to it, but not even putting the rat outside after we asked them to is awful. We stayed at the restaurant although we shouldn't have. The food took an hour and a half to come out, and the server was pretty awful. Typical for Paris but even worse than usual. The prices were outrageous and the food did not taste good whatsoever. Highly don't recommend this place if you value a good atmosphere without eating next to rats. French translation: Nous sommes venus dîner dans ce restaurant, situé juste en face de notre hôtel. À peine installés, tout semblait aller bien jusqu'à ce qu'un rat apparaisse à nos pieds. Lorsque nous l'avons signalé au serveur, il s'est contenté de répondre : " Ici, c'est Paris. " Nous lui avons demandé de le déplacer, et il a rétorqué : " Non, c'est Paris, ne vous inquiétez pas." Si c'était un rat typiquement parisien, les autres clients du restaurant ne s'en seraient pas inquiétés. Je comprends que nous soyons Américains et que nous n'y soyons pas habitués, mais refuser de sortir le rat après notre demande est inadmissible. Nous sommes restés au restaurant, à tort. L'attente pour les plats a été d'une heure et demie, et le service était exécrable. Typique de Paris, mais pire que d'habitude. Les prix étaient exorbitants et la nourriture absolument immangeable. Je déconseille fortement cet endroit si vous appréciez une ambiance agréable sans avoir à dîner à côté de rats.

We loved the service, attentive, friendly, answering lots of questions. Good wine list. Overall, somewhat expensive, but it's Paris. The carpaccio of beef was great as was the spinach ravioli with truffles. The only "miss" here was that the black truffles seemed to lack power and flavor which they sometimes do. I am not a truffle expert, but sometimes they pack a lot of very good punch and sometimes you can barely taste them, and in this case it was the latter. Feel like we got head-faked into the truffle menu and might have been better off on the regular one. Suggest: smell the truffles when they show them to you and if it's not fairly overpowering, then don't order. The bellinis were fanastic on the other hand. Overall, I'd definitely come back if I want a fancy Italian meal not far from the Champs Elyseees.

    We stopped by this place our first night in Paris less than a half hour prior to their closing…read moretime. They were closed the following day (Sunday) so we were somewhat surprised to be greeted warmly and shown to a table which they made up for us. We were given a couple of menus, and told by our waiter in a nice way that the clock was ticking for the kitchen so we quickly chose a couple of pizzas and a bottle of wine. Having worked in kitchens before, I know first hand that latecomers are not the most welcome by the kitchen staff when they are trying to clean up and get out to enjoy their evening and the following day off. The food was wonderful, pizza dough was crispy, the toppings fresh in spite of the late hour, and the wine was excellent. Now the prices we have come to recognize in our first few days in Paris are pretty steep relative to Vancouver, which is saying something, but we feel we got our monies worth. One thing to remember in France when using a credit card is that you cannot add a tip on the machine, so bring cash with you to tip. If you add it to the bill on the machine the establishment gets the money not the person who waited upon you. Cash goes to them and them alone. We are leaving Paris in the morning and heading back to Fenice again this evening, a little earlier this time to enjoy their fine food one more time. Highly recommended from our first experience, here's hoping for a repeat. Bon appetit! VISIT #2 Ate here a second time while in Paris and were surprised that we were recognized upon our arrival and once again seated at the same table we had had a couple of evenings prior. I can only say that our second experience was even better than our first. Our food was outstanding, the service first class. We only wish we had more nights in Paris to sample more of the menu.

The restaurant did not disappoint. After delicious starters of eggplant, rocket and Parma ham we enjoyed scrumptious mains with veal, beef medallions, lamb and rhombus pasta all thoroughly enjoyed.

Service was excellent, and the atmosphere was relaxing and enjoyable with a nice ambiance from other guests. I can highly recommend this restaurant.
