Restaurant italien pizzeria la gourmandise — Restaurant in Paris

I recently dined at this delightful Italian restaurant, and the experience was wonderful. From the moment we walked up, we were treated with warmth and great service throughout our lunch meal. I had the spaghetti Bolognese. The pasta was cooked to perfection, and the rich, savory meat sauce was a harmonious blend of flavors. Our table also had penne chicken arrabbiata, which was tender and flavorful, combined with just enough heat in the tomato sauce. We also had pizza Margherita. The crispy crust was adorned with fresh mozzarella cheese and fragrant basil leaves. It was simplicity at its finest and showcased the restaurant's commitment to using the finest ingredients. Throughout our meal, the attentive and knowledgeable staff made sure we had a memorable dining experience. The wine selection by our waiter perfectly complemented our dishes, adding an extra layer of sophistication to the meal. We didn't have dessert but ended the meal with an excellent Limoncello also recommended...

I am an American and this was my first experience in a non-English speaking country. I was intimidated by the experience and quite nervous. We were hungry and had a difficult time finding food after a tour of the Louvre. My daughter is gluten-free so that complicated our search. We found this restaurant near our hotel and discovered the menu was in English. It was such a relief to sit down here and the Italian-in-France somehow felt familiar. The host/server was so kind and patient and helpful. We felt welcomed and comfortable. The food was Incredible! My daughter ordered the chicken risotto and I had the lasagna. Both were perfect...

My husband, daughter and I were excited for some great Italian food and this place good great reviews. What they DON'T tell you.... Is that if you go in and order only ONE pizza for 3 people... the rude elderly man will refuse to serve you. He said no it's not enough. I told him my daughter already ate but he shook his head and said no I can't help. So we left. I was extremely disheartened by this experience as I love this city and have always had great dining experiences . DO NOT GO HERE. Thanks for listening and hope you find somewhere else to eat. PS it would not let me...
