Came here spontaneously for dinner with some colleagues. Ordered: vitello tonnato, focaccia, and caprese salad as appetizers. Vitello tonnato was ok, they added sundried tomatoes on top but other than that it was the best of the meal. Focaccia isnât the focaccia we know, but rather pizza dough with some baked tomatoes- was still okay. Then the salad was disappointing- half a burrata and half a tomato with some arugula in the middle- pretty standard. Then for dinner we got the three tomato pasta- this was totally ok. I ordered the beef tartar and it came with fries. The fries were too greasy and should have been left to dry before serving. The tartar: the beef did not taste fresh enough to eat- it was missing the egg, the Dijon mustard and general spices. The meat was also too large and should have been in smaller pieces. It was just basically ground meat together on a dish with a sauce- I also never had a tartar with sauce before and it didnât help the flavour of the tartar itself. The service was okay and they were kind enough to take the tartar off the bill. The wine and the negroni was good.
I would say the restaurant has potential but itâs missing its passion for good Italian...
   Read moreI recently dined at Pratolina Restaurant in Paris and had a pleasant experience overall. The food was good, with well-prepared dishes that showcased quality ingredients. The restaurant was clean and well-maintained, contributing to a comfortable dining environment. The staff was responsive and attentive, ensuring that our needs were promptly addressed.
However, I did feel that the restaurant could offer more value. Specifically, the pasta meals should include the option of a protein. For example, the sea bass would make a great pairing for the truffle pasta. This addition would elevate the dining experience and provide more comprehensive meal options for patrons.
It is evident that the owner has been listening and making changes based on past reviews. From my own experience and what I have read, there have been noticeable improvements. I hope they will consider my recommendation for adding protein options to the pasta dishes. Overall, Pratolina is a solid choice for a good meal in Paris, and with a few adjustments, it could be even better.
PS: I am a small person and I purchased 2 meals (sea bass &...

Nous avons choisi ce restaurant pour organiser un dĂźner prĂ©-sĂ©minaire avec un groupe de 62 personnes, espĂ©rant partager un bon repas italien au cĆur de la capitale. AprĂšs trois semaines d'Ă©changes avec le directeur pour mettre au point un menu, versĂ© la totalitĂ© de la somme en amont et fourni un dĂ©tail complet des plats une semaine avant l'Ă©vĂ©nement, nous pensions ĂȘtre entre de bonnes mains. Ce restaurant est pourtant trĂšs bien notĂ©, mais notre expĂ©rience a Ă©tĂ© un vĂ©ritable cauchemar.
DÚs notre arrivée (nous étions légÚrement en retard sur l'heure exacte, mais toujours dans la plage de réservation), nous avons été accueillis de maniÚre désagréable par le directeur, qui nous a fait la morale comme à des enfants. Le service d'apéritif, quant à lui, relevait du sketch : des commandes oubliées, des verres manquants, des mojitos servis sans alcool... une véritable farce.
Puis est venu le service des plats : des portions totalement inĂ©gales, des assiettes mal prĂ©sentĂ©es et sans saveur. Certains convives ont eu une assiette Ă peu prĂšs correcte, tandis que d'autres se sont retrouvĂ©s avec trois pauvres lĂ©gumes. Les pĂątes Ă©taient trop cuites, servies sans burrata comme prĂ©vu, et le suprĂȘme de poulet Ă©tait sec, accompagnĂ© de trois minuscules morceaux de pommes de terre. Certains de nos invitĂ©s n'ont mĂȘme pas Ă©tĂ© servis correctement, et lorsque nous avons exprimĂ© notre mĂ©contentement, le directeur a refusĂ© tout remboursement, nous mĂ©prisant et nous traitant avec une arrogance incroyable toute la soirĂ©e. Seul point positif Lisa qui a su garder le sourire et nous prouver sa capacitĂ© dâaccueil et de service . On lui souhaite une expĂ©rience professionnelle plus valorisante đđ»
Au total, nous avons payĂ© 1 830 ⏠pour un repas qui aurait Ă©tĂ© largement surpassĂ© par un simple pique-nique sur l'herbe Ă Paris. Une Ă©toile obligatoire, mais cet endroit est Ă fuir, surtout pour les grands groupes. Ils prĂ©tendent ĂȘtre habituĂ©s Ă ce type d'Ă©vĂ©nements, mais notre expĂ©rience prouve le contraire....
