    Marguerita pizza
    Grace F.

    Across the street from Marriott Rive Gauche, stopped in for lunch. The bruschetta was delicious. Margherita pizza portion size was too big for 1. The spaghetti bolognese was flavorful. The penne pasta was light. Our table of 6 ordered a variety of delicious desserts, chocolate mousse, panna cotta, moelleux chocolate, coffee ice cream.The restaurant was full for lunch so we had to flag our server for everything.

    We had a lovely meal at Villa St Jacques. I had the spaghetti bolognaise and my husband had lasagna. We also had a lovely bottle of wine. The service was excellent and the meal was so enjoyable! Limoncello completed the meal!

    My husband and I were in Paris for 2 nights before we headed to Switzerland. We ate at La Villa Saint Jacques our second night. This quaint Italian restaurant was a 5 minute walk from our hotel (Paris Marriott Rive Gauche). The restaurant was cute walking in. There were windows from top to bottom. As they say, it's always good to speak some French while you are in France to show respect to the locals. At least they will be more kind to you if they see that you've tried. I greeted the man and told him there would be two for dinner. Of course he answered me in English which he was able to speak fluently. I was born and raised in Canada and took French growing up, but haven't used it in a VERY long time! But I'm glad I got some practice while we were in Paris. So we are in Paris and in an Italian restaurant.... what to order??? I skimmed their menu and couldn't help but see how vast their pizza menu was. I ordered a classic Margherita Pizza (just cheese, tomato, basil with a little sauce) and my husband orders one of their specials ( I think it was the Roma.. I can't remember). It came with a bunch of different kinds of meat, peppers, eggplant, and an egg in the middle. The crust is thin, but had a nice smoky taste, I thought the sauce and cheese were perfect. My husband on the other hand, had so much stuff on his pizza, it just made the crust soggy. He said the egg was raw in the middle, but we've heard that's how they serve it. So he just ate it... haha. Anyway, for dessert, we shared an ice cream with chocolate and pears. Overall, it was a pleasant meal. The pizza we had here was actually better than pizza we tried in parts of Italy! So great job.

    We have been in Paris for 7 days and ate here 3 times so far The pizza is flavorful and vey tasty Service has been great, even though it was super busy Had the fresh mozzarella appetizer. That was very good The ravioli was delish too Talk to over 20 friends and they all enjoyed it and went back multiple times

    Villa Saint Jacques is located right next to the Marriott and it was very convenient because I didn't wanna walk in such a cold weather. There were a couple other Italian places in the same corner but I picked here according to yelp. All the server speak English and the menu is in English as well, which is a huge plus. I ordered a pizza because everyone on yelp mentioned it. It was a good size (you can share with someone and order something else, or just for yourself as an entree). I almost finished the whole thing leaving the crust. I actually thing it is the perfect size for a male. I think this place is a good option when you are not so much a French food person and the price is fairly reasonable considering it is Paris.

    Took the advice on the Eurostar and asked a local girl in a bank where she likes to eat. She recommend Villa St Jacques. Glad we took her suggestion. It was great. We split a pizza between two of us. It was TERRIFIC!!! Pizza and 2 cokes for slightly over 18 €

    Don Carlo pizza (spicy Italian sausage, eggplant, mozarrella)
    Paul L.

    First day in Paris, after a busy day we napped a woke up for dinner. This place was 3 mins away from our hotel, the Paris Marriott Rive Gauche. Ordered spaghetti carbonara , Don Carlo pizza and bread. This fed and filled three of us. Friendly staff and attentive. Good good food. Creme brûlée n cappuccino to finish a great first day n night

    Creme brûlée

    This was our first meal in Paris. We were duly warned about how service is different in the USA vs here. That being said, that's why there are 4 stars - they are not attentive no drink refills. Lasagna with salad - excellent! Spaghetti bolognese is okay - I always want more sauce...pasta with salmon - my husband really liked it. Desserts were divine! My husband doesn't believe pears should be with ice cream but it works! We were full and satisfied- it's a short walk from the Marriott so we were content. Cost $62 Euro for 3 people

    The pasta plates are huge ! Definitely have to share a plate with someone, we had the salad, garlic bread and two pasta bowls. The food was good and the price was great. The guys next to us ordered the pizzaI would definitely go back to try the pizza out !

    We were sat done and ignored. I had some good experiences in France and some good food. They served everyone around us and we weren't even given any attention for quite a while. Owner apologized.

    Glass of Spritz (my mom didn't leave a drop of it)

    Excellent Italian restaurant. The pizzas were really delicious, cooked in a wood fire oven with a thin crust. The pasta dish I took was huge I couldn't finish it. The servers were extremely friendly, really adorable. There was a large TV with a football (soccer) match playing but the sound was cut so it wouldn't disturb conversations at all. The desserts were not as good and clearly not home made, as it often is the case in Paris restaurants. We were all given for free a glass of limoncello with dessert. Would highly recommend!

    What more can you say when the chef makes a pizza for you that looks like this? The staff at this restaurant is always sweet, kind, and incredibly nice!! The pizza is great also. The chèvre et miel pizza is my favorite! (I order it every time...I don't even need to see the menu!) Also, try the molten chocolate cake!! How do you say "Yum" in French?! (Use the side entrance for take-away pizza...just pay up front and it is a short wait.)

    Good pizza.

    Next to the Marriot. Have been here a few times over the years. . Really nice place, nice folks. Good pizzas (any of them). Also. Sports on the TV. Good beer, sodas, coffee etc. Just a solid place to go. Nice reprive from the hotel. You can count on a good meal, good price, and relaxing atmosphere.

    Five cheese.

    This is the best meal I've had all week here in Paris. Meals are truly homemade. Everything was fresh and very reasonably priced.

    Reservations is a must. This place gets so busy and glad we made reservations when visiting Paris…read more Interior deco is adorable and well thought out. Open kitchen concept where you can see the chefs happily cooking or cooking all stressed out lol. Our server was Izaya very friendly, well spoken and caring. He ensured our allergies were taken care of. He was fast with his service and continuously checked up on us to ensure we had everything we needed. 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. Overall great experience here they do squeeze a lot of people in there so you could be elbowing your neighbor on another table.

    Really nice atmosphere, perfect for a night out with friends or a date night. The service was…read morereally great. Food was alright. My friend and I shared the truffle pasta and white pizza. Both were a bit bland and could've used more seasonings. The drinks were delicious and tiramisu was the star of the show for sure! Definitely any of the big mamma restaurants are mostly for tourists and wouldn't try the others.

This all happened tonight when we visited for dinner. I ordered 4 appetizers and 3 pizzas. One appetizer was like a salad on top of ham. I was enjoying it when I bit down on something extremely hard that felt immediately like a tooth broke. I spit out a small gray object that looked liked glass or a piece of rock... more like glass that has layers and shine. Immediately my tongue starts feeling around and I feel a jagged edge on my upper back tooth that was never there. I immediately informed the closest person who was possibly a busboy or server named Louis I think. He asked me for the piece I bit into and I gave it to him without thinking I needed to take a photo of it. He took it to the back and threw it away! So he says it must have been a "nut". Obviously it was not a nut and the salad doesn't even have nuts in it! The staff... the man, the waitress, and the other server all as polite as can be start ignoring any of my requests to retrieve the piece I bit into and my requests to talk to a manager. It felt like they were laughing at my situation because every time I asked them a question, they would go talk to each other and laugh and would not answer the questions I was asking. Unhappy at not getting any sympathy from them or an apology, I finally asked them for more information about filing a claim for repairing my broken tooth and the server named Alice (I think... my French is bad), gave me the email address of someone to contact for Human Resources. They offered to have their insurance pay for any treatment so I guess I will take them up on it. I will update my review once they get back to me.
