If you’re looking for a perfect dining experience on the Champs-Élysées, Café di Roma is a must-visit. This charming Italian café delivers everything you could want — delicious food, impeccable service, a lovely atmosphere, and an impressive wine selection. From the moment I arrived, the experience was delightful, and it’s a place I can wholeheartedly recommend to anyone visiting Paris.

Warm and Inviting Atmosphere

The warm lighting and the soft hum of conversation make it an ideal spot for both casual lunches and intimate dinners.

Excellent Service

The service at Café di Roma was exceptional. The staff were welcoming, attentive, and professional without being overbearing. From the moment I stepped in, I was greeted with a friendly smile and quickly shown to a table. My server was knowledgeable about the menu and offered thoughtful suggestions based on my tastes. They made sure I was comfortable, checked in at just the right moments, and ensured my dining experience was seamless. It’s clear that the staff take pride in their work, making each guest feel valued and cared for.

Delicious Pepperoni Pizza

Now, let’s talk about the food — particularly the pepperoni pizza. It was hands-down one of the best I’ve had in a long time. The crust was thin, crispy, and perfectly charred, while the toppings were fresh and flavorful. The pepperoni had a slight spice that paired beautifully with the melted mozzarella and the rich, tangy tomato sauce. Each bite was a delicious combination of textures and flavors, reminding me of authentic Italian pizzerias. The portion size was generous, and I savored every slice.

Heavenly Lava Cake

After the pizza, I decided to indulge in their lava cake for dessert, and it was an absolute showstopper. The cake was warm, rich, and decadent, with a molten chocolate center that oozed out perfectly with the first bite. The combination of the moist cake and the flowing chocolate was pure bliss, and it paired wonderfully with the scoop of vanilla ice cream served alongside. It was the kind of dessert that makes you close your eyes and savor the moment — a perfect end to a fantastic meal.

Great Red Wine Selection

To complement my meal, I enjoyed a glass of their red wine, which was full-bodied, smooth, and perfectly balanced. The wine list features a thoughtful selection of Italian and French wines, and the server’s recommendation was spot-on. The richness of the red wine elevated the flavors of the pizza and added to the overall dining experience. It’s always a pleasure when a restaurant takes as much care with its wine as it does with its food.

Final Thoughts

Café di Roma on the Champs-Élysées is everything you could hope for in an Italian café — delicious food, wonderful service, a great wine selection, and a cozy yet elegant atmosphere. Whether you’re craving a perfectly made pepperoni pizza, a decadent lava cake, or a relaxing glass of red wine, this café delivers in every category. The staff’s warmth and attention to detail made me feel right at home, and the quality of the food was top-notch.

5 out of 5 stars — highly recommended for anyone looking to enjoy a delightful meal in the heart of Paris. Café di Roma is a true gem on the...

Really disappointed with the service, the food was good. We asked for a seat of 5 for the outdoor patio. The waiter who was wearing green I am guessing the manager seated us but didn’t give us any menus. We are from out of the country so not sure of the customs. My family noticed that there was a scan menu for phones but our phones had really bad service and the menus wouldn’t load. I asked the waiter for a few menus (after waiting 15 mins) and he told us to scan the code and I told him the reception was bad on our phones. He grabs 1 menu for the 5 of us and kinda throws it at our table. He didn’t acknowledge us at all and when he did he gave us the biggest attitude. Thankfully we got another waiter who was so much better and tended to us and which is why I gave the service more stars, but he was busy with other tables as well. When it was time to get the check I asked him in French if I could get my receipt and he nods, but 15 mins of waiting and still nothing. Our other waiter ended up getting our receipt. I was a bit curious if this was how restaurants were in France, so I decided to observe this waiter. I watched this waiter in green wait on other tables and pass out menus and waters and smiling and laughing, but because my family and I were tourist I guess he figured he could treat us like dirt. My family and I left feeling really upset like we were bottom barrel. At least the food was alright, but honestly I won’t be...

We had a very unpleasant experience at this restaurant. We waited in the outdoor seating queue for more than 30 mins while we could see a table for 2 vacant since we entered the queue. There was only one family of 3 people before us in the queue. After the family got some other table, we were given the same table which was vacant for the past 30 mins. Not sure why we were kept waiting in the queue for more than 30 mins.

Secondly, within 2-3 mins after sitting at the table, I waved towards the person managing the area, he acknowledged my wave but never came to my table.

We had pasta and pizza. Both were decent in taste.

Later a waiter came and requested us to move to a neighbouring table because he wanted to join our table with some othe table. We had almost finished food so I asked him to get bill, paid for the food and left the table. I did not ordered repeat drink or desserts.

It was an unwelcoming experience. I will never step into this restaurant again and will not recommend it to anyone.

Hope this review saves other tourists from such experience.
