I Grappoli — Restaurant in Paris

While visiting Paris my friend and I decided to stop at this restaurant before our tour of the Catacombs, which is just down the street. We walked in the door the second it opened and were seated. Within 15 minutes, the restaurant was almost full! Must be a popular destination. I can see why! The ravioli I had was some of the best food I have ever eaten! It was a mushroom ravioli with truffles. Just delicious. My friend had a ham and mushroom pizza which she said was fantastic as well. The server kindly asked if we would like to speak in French or English. We chose English but still did our best to order and converse in French, since we are in Paris we should all try our best! If this little restaurant was in my small town in Canada, I would be there regularly the food is...

Terrible service from awful staff. AVOID!

Food was pretty good though and nice atmosphere across from the park.

Interesting how poor service can create a terrible experience overall. Family of 5 sat at a round table initially. We entered an empty restaurant with only 2 patrons having a beer at a patio table. There were NO diners inside or out at the time (7:30pm). We were asked if we had a rez and, while we didn't laugh, it was laughable. We pointed at the table in the empty restaurant perfect for us. They sat us there. They started taking drink orders and then asked us to move to another table and said that one was reserved. We ate and left. The table we sat at first stayed unused the whole time. In fact, only 4 other 2 tops tables were used at all.

They can do better....

I'm curious about the source of reviews for this restaurant. The Calamari and Gampas Fritti appetizer consisted of 50% broccoli. While the service is friendly, the staff only understands French, responds with a simple "yes" in other languages, and fails to deliver the correct orders. The Tagliatelle Vongole had an overwhelming amount of garlic and butter, rendering it inedible. Despite bringing the issue to their attention, they insisted on charging the full price, even though the spaghetti was untouched. I would rate both the pizza and gnocchi as mediocre, making them not recommended.

I usually don't give reviews, but this simply has nothing to do with...
