Stumbled across this place by our hotel. What a fantastic find. Pasta is wonderful and the pizzas are very good. Small atmosphere vibe but with big flavor. The lasagna was excellent. So glad we found this spot. Ate her twice on our trip. Very solid read more

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. read more

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. read more

Villa Saint Jacques - Ravioli 80% finished Forgot to take the picture before I stared - Italian Near Me - Paris, 01

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. read more

Villa Saint Jacques - Fromage pizza - Italian Near Me - Paris, 01

After spending the day trying to see as much as I could, I really didn't want to sit in a crowded restaurant. And business was booming. So I ordered a pizza to go. They were incredibly fast and friendly. My pizza was ready in less than five minutes. I took my pizza back to my hotel room. The pizza was nice and hot. They bake the pizza in a wood burning pizza oven. It was fun watching how efficient the guy fixing the pizzas was. The pizza itself was just ok. The cheese was kind of thick and chewy. The tomato sauce did not have an abundance of flavor in my opinion. The restaurant came highly recommended and it was very busy. But I can't say I was that impressed. I was super disappointed because I typically love the pizzas I eat in Europe. read more

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 € read more

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 read more

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 read more

Quite good for pizza in Paris I wouldn't have thought it possible but the pizza is quite good for being in Paris and not Naples nor NYC. Both the five cheese pizza and the Neapolitan (anchovies, olives, and capers) were delicious. The Ravioli Baronesa (ricotta, spinach, peas, and ham) was also very tasty. If we had kept to the pizzas and pastas the restaurant would have probably gotten five stars but despite my trying to warn her away my wife insisted on getting the veal in lemon sauce. Not the kind of place to order a dish that depends on the quality of the meat and a delicate hand in the kitchen. Unfortunately, she was indeed presented with shoe leather on a plate. Lastly, they served a spectacular Edelweiss beer in a chilled glass which we very much enjoyed and went well with the pizzas. The service was enthusiastic but spotty and the staff was clearly overwhelmed by trying to deal with a full restaurant. The decor was casual and the atmosphere quite fun, Basically, if you stick to the pizzas and pasta (and beer) and have nowhere else you want to be for the next two hours you will be very happy dining here and can consider this to be a five star review. read more

1st Italian Restaurant we hit when visiting Paris & we were not disappointed, I believe Jaffa & Camomill were the 1's who waited on us, excellent service, the meal was delicious. Thank you guys/// Well sometimes all good things come to an end & that was exactly the case W/ this restaurant. We ate there a total of 3 times during our 10 night stay in the area & unfortunately the last time we ate there on 8/4 the service was horrible, food was cold & bland tasting & there you have it read more

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 ! read more

1 star for being in Paris and 1 star for the friendly service. Otherwise I'd suggest you eat your pasta elsewhere, like........Italy. If a restaurant claiming to make homemade pasta doesn't know the importance of cooking it in sea salty water, well then, I certainly can't help them. Oh well. Luckily I've got an entire week of eating to do. read more

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. read more

Everytime I'm in Paris I have to come here! I stumbled upon this place when I was studying abroad because it was in my neighborhood, and I'm so glad I did. Best homemade olive oil I've ever had. I wish I could take a bottle home with me. I drizzle it on everything I get from there, but it's best with the lasagna. It's also a great atmosphere to have some good wine and dinner with friends. I love this place read more

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! read more

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.) read more

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. read more

Villa Saint Jacques - Good pizza. - Italian Near Me - Paris, 01

The pizza here is amazing! We ordered a five cheese - very rich but so worth every bite - and a bacon, onion and olive that was equally delicious. Although the pizzas are for one person, I think they easily satisfy two especially if you have a salad. An easy walk from the Marriott rive gauche but be careful this restaurant is tucked in next to a larger restaurant which you will see first. Wood-fired! read more

My buddy and I stumbled on this place after checking into our nearby Hotel (the Marriott Rive Gauche)...I must say that the quality of the pizza exceeded our expectations. It was our first meal on a 5 day Paris trip and this was a good start. The place is tiny and a little awkward when you enter (we didn't know to sit down or wait)...but if you happen to be in this area, you should definitely try it. You won't be disappointed. read more

OK, who eats pizza in France... lots of people I guess. There was a surprising selection of kinds and the two we selected were pretty good. The only problem was a bit of crowding (from overheard conversations, mostly Americans from the Marriott almost next door.) and significant burning on the bottom of the pizza. I suspect they overheated the oven to deal with the number of customers. read more

This place hit the spot! It's very quick, the prices are on point, and they make the classics (pizza with ham and egg and spaghetti bolognese) to perfection! The complimentary olives and caramel chews were great, especially the olives. The enclosed terrace is very nice. In the words of borat, "verrr nice!" read more

Love this place. Right next to the Marriott Hotel, servers all speak English. Pizza is amazing, veal and seafood pastas are excellent. And prices are excellent. read more

Amazing food! The pasta and pizza are both delicious. The staff was super friendly and helpful as we didn't speak French. Would recommend!

Best pizza I've had in a long time. Thin crust light tomato sauce and lots of cheese. I ordered the Isabella. If you are craving pizza come here. We took our pizza to go and it took less than ten minutes. If you are staying at the Marriott Rive Gauche, eat here. I will be eating here again tomorrow. read more

If you're looking for a decent Italian restaurant with a host of different plates other than just pizza and pasta this is the place. The quality, quantity, price and service are excellent. The inside of the restaurant is appealing and welcoming. I would return. read more

Convenient if you are staying at the Marriott. Pizza was ok, nothing to make a special trip for. Wide ranging and varied menu. Had an English translation. Waiter spoke very little English. Each had a salad and pizza. Plenty of food; probably should have split a pizza. Wife's ordered a green salad; got just what you would expect. I ordered a salad with chèvre, bacon and croutons; got a salad with tuna, beets, and a bunch of other veggies. Tasted fine, but not what I though I was getting. Also too much oil for the dressing. Pizzas were good, but very plain. Wife ordered a margarita pizza which was just an American cheese pizza. Deserts were very good. I had molten chocolate cake. Fair price overall, but underwhelming in the end. read more

Absolutely delicious food...we ordered pizza and pasta (vegetarian) and both were great. Service was very friendly.

The pizza was quite good, with mushrooms and ham. With a very large green salad, there was plenty of food for two. Very reasonably priced. An excellent option when staying at the Marriott just down the street (@ only 4 Euros,) and you don't want to go very far for a simple, quality meal. Service was both efficient and friendly. read more

A very nice surprise. We are staying at the Marriott Rive Gauche and we were looking for something close. Not even a block away. Perfect for kids too - they offer a kids meal option which was wonderful. Gave us table water without even asking. The meal was absolutely fantastic. Highly recommend! read more

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