Ozio

Tonight we visited Ozio for the second time in the five nights that we have been in Paris. After the first visit, when we were overwhelmed by how amazing our meals tasted, we couldn't wait to get back again. My wife ordered the lasagna each visit. Compared to what we are used to in the U.S., this was a unique experience. First, the pasta is minimal while the other flavors are dominant. My wife says that the meat and sauce are out of this world. To me, the difference is in the cheese. They serve the dish in the pan in which it was baked, and then they must broil it to create a crispy cheese crust. If it were possible to order just the cheese, I would! I ordered the filet with a mushroom truffle sauce. I cannot even begin to describe how amazing the flavor is. Let me say this: I am not supposed to eat bread as I have difficulty digesting complex carbs. Even so, I had to have multiple slices of the bread as it seemed to be the only way possible for me to make sure that not a drop of that sauce was left on my plate. The filet itself was cooked perfectly on both visits. Tonight, our server was Jonith, who was an absolute delight. (I promised him that when I wrote this review, I would mention that he was not only very handsome but also extremely charismatic. So, Jonith, you are welcome!) If you are in the 16th Arrondisement, don't miss out on a visit to Ozio!
