🇫🇷 Toulouse | Lo Stivale: The Best Italian Pasta in Tow! 🍝✨
Stumbled upon this cozy Italian trattoria tucked away in Toulouse—small but mighty, with nonna-approved flavors and portions that’ll make you weep with joy! 🍽️ The Experience Vibe: Rustic wooden tables, checkered tablecloths, and a warm Italian mama running the show 👩🍳. Must-Book: Reservations essential (only 12 tables!). 🥗 Starters 1️⃣ Tomato & Olive Oil Bread 🍅 (FREE!): Crusty ciabatta + garlicky tomato rub—simple but addictive. 2️⃣ Beef Bresaola Salad: Skip it (just okay 😐). 3️⃣ Prosciutto & Mozzarella: Classic combo—fresh bufala + sweet Parma ham 🧀. 🍝 Pastas (Ranked!) 🥇 Tiger Prawn Risotto 🦐 (MVP!) Creamy but not heavy, packed with saffron, peas, and succulent prawns. Wait Time: 25min (they cook the rice to order!). 🥈 Seafood Spaghetti 🐙 Clams, mussels, and prawns in a white wine-garlic sauce—clean flavors. 🥉 Pappardelle al Ragù 🐂 Slow-cooked beef ragù with silky wide noodles—comfort in a bowl. 4️⃣ Pappardelle with Liver 🍷 Tender calf liver in rich red wine sauce—for adventurous eaters only! 🍰 Dolce Tiramisu: Espresso-soaked + mascarpone clouds—flawless ☁️. 💰 Damage €25-30/person (including wine!)—unbeatable for this quality. #ToulouseEats #RealItalian #Toulouse #food
