Guillaume Grasso La Vera Pizza Napoletana — Restaurant in Paris

Food is okay and very authentic. I came to this restaurant following my friend's recommendation. However what's shocking me is they only take reservation online (understandable) but we have to enter our bank card details and if we don't appear 10 Euros will be charged… I understand the reservation logic but are restaurants allowed to take our bank card details? Is there a law authorizing the restaurant to do so? It shocked me as after all the restaurants I went in France this is the only one who does this practice…(not even happened for any michelin level restaurants). However the service is very normal, we asked for some black pepper and salt and even when we finished the pizza they still didn't give us whereas the waiters didn't seem to be busy and they were chatting happily. If the customers don't come to the reservation normally they would call to cancel it.

Overall rating: 7.6/10

Positiv: impressive high product quality very good authentic-style pizza reasonable price very fast service strict alignment to COVID rules open and young abient NFC/Card payment accepted outdoor tables

Neutral: you need to take a reservation, otherwise it will be a take away large groups should get in touch with the staff in advance Pizzas have more topping than traditional Napoletana pizza

Negative: small wine choice purposed wine is not top notch ambient lacks a bit of class, not ideal for serious businesses meetings knifes a bit dull no AC Road a bit loud, not so nice to eat outside

Résumée: Why is the taste so good? Despite the negatives, I would always recommend this restaurant. Its one of the best in class, taking location, quality and price in consideration. Try it for yourself! You...

For the benefit of doubt, I give this restaurant 4 stars instead of 3. Reasons for it are my expectations were so hyped by the many positive reviews, the elaborate booking system that blocks your credit card for no show (fancy!) and the overall efforts put on branding and design of the restaurant.

At the end I am a real real fan of Napolitanian Pizza and been to Napoli many times and I kind of expected to have a good Buffala Pizza but instead I got a soaked Tomato Pizza with burned boarders which is really disappointing. I didn't find the taste of each ingredient special at all. Honestly, I was really sad hahah

BUT maybe it was just the Pizza choice and another Pizza would have been better?!

Service was really nice so no...
