This is probably my favourite restaurant ever. Francesco and Mama are some of the loveliest people you would come across. I felt at home right from the moment I stepped into the restaurant.
I went there for five straight days this May during my vacation, and without exaggeration, everything I had was delicious. Just ask them for advice and you will not be disappointed.

With the overall service and quality of food, its probably the best Italian food in all of Paris! This cozy neighborhood spot is a must if you're...
