Gaudry calls Alain Passard a “living God,” Wayda says that Jacques Genin is trying to out-do nature itself, and lots of other meals take place without any blasphemy whatsoever…
A see-and-be-seen Italian table from Thierry Costes and Thierry Bulot.
This little Italian épicerie-à-manger, run by the former sommelier at ‘Rino, has four tables — two in and two out — where you can eat surrounded by exquisite spices, olive oils, stacks of wine, and a touch of flea market nostalgia.Open from 10 am to 11 pm every day but Sunday, when they close at 2 pm, and Monday, with an 8:30 pm closure.
Piping hot pies with fresh toppings, industrial loft décor, and cold cocktails from the full bar are attracting the branché masses to this pizza place between République and Bastille.
Deep in the heart of boboland, another epicerie-cum-restaurant ristorante. Shop the selection of high-quality Italian products, or reserve a table for lunch or dinner, when owner Alessandra Pietrini serves dishes like gnocchi with lamb, fried monkfish, and almond semifreddo.
Cucina povera? Not at this high-end Italian in the Royal Monceau.
It’s pizza by the kilo (and don’t leave without trying the truffle version) at this Roman-style spot. Bright lights, high stools and cheap wine by the carafe. Locations in Oberkampf and the upper Marais.
Almost universally adored, this tiny spot, hidden from the street, is the Italian restaurant everyone wishes were in their neighborhood.
Round up a group and get thee to Olio Pane Vino for handmade pasta dishes and Francesco’s unmistakably Italian hospitality.
