Osteria Ruggera — Restaurant in Paris

Absolutely delicious food in an adorable little restaurant near Etienne Marcel. Had an artichoke hearts appetizer that was quite unique. They were shredded like cabbage giving the dish the look of cole slaw. They must have been baby artichokes because they didn’t appear to be cooked but were pretty tender. I got the eggplant appetizer as my main dish. I call it eggplant melanzana which is usually cooked, sliced eggplant layered with mozzarella and sauce. This had no mozzarella and was layered with generous amounts of Parmesan. The eggplant tasted like it was almost caramelized. Absolutely delicious. Hubs got veal Marsala.

What is surprising is after giving them a review on a different platform, where i say the service is good, the ambiance is good but the food is simply not delicious, they reply back with a disrespectful and non-professional reply to my review. This is not acceptable, shame on you. The only reason i’m still giving 2 stars is thanks to how friendly...
