Sonata Pizzeria — Restaurant in Paris

Wouldn’t come back as a tourist. Nice location and good food, but the service leaves much to be desired. My husband and I are Canadian and do not speak any language other than English fluently. Nonetheless, we try to be pleasant and polite when we are guests in another culture (always say thank you and apologize for defaulting to English). Our visit to this restaurant was no different. However, one of our waitresses openly complained to the only other guests on the patio that she hates tourists who cannot speak French (she said this in English to North Americans that tried to speak French when they sat down). We passed it off and continued eating. When the bill came, our second waitress became quite offended when we asked why she had prompted us for gratuity in addition to the legally mandated gratuity that is added to every bill automatically. My husband and I weren’t going to cause an argument so we added some additional gratuity. It was clear this waitress was annoyed that we caught her in the act of double dipping. I would encourage the wait staff to remember that they are (a) in a city full of tourists, and (b) serving the food of another culture (Italian) when acting offended that not everyone has learned the language of their...

Reading the reviews, I’m confused and maybe got a one-time bad experience with the service, but I don’t think the service here is good at all. The pizza is DELICIOUS, though, and they know it, so they don’t really have to be nice LOL! I sat outside waiting for someone to greet me for at least 10 minutes, went inside and waited for someone to greet me for another few minutes, and finally just walked up to the counter and someone helped me. The food and wine was AMAZING, but you have to be assertive here to get served. What’s even worse is who, I’m assuming, is the owner (because the was working out of a corner with uniforms for the staff), was watching me wait for service and do not say anything. It was honestly quite rude to be continuously ignored. There’s a lot of good pizza places here, don’t rest in your laurels. The way they respond to their negative reviews on here also doesn’t sit well with me BUT anyways, the food is amazing and as long as you’re okay just being assertive with the staff, I’d...

This Restaurant offers a great variety of Italian Food and drinks. First of all, the food is exceptional. I ate better pasta here than in a lot of Restaurants in Italy. The Rigatoni were cooked to perfection, Al dente perfection. Drinks are a bit pricey here, but they offer very special Italian Beers that are usually not available in France. The staff was very very friendly but a bit lost at times. We were served with our main dishes, but no cutlery. But it was no problem at all because we informed them, that we have no cutlery and they apologized and were very professional and friendly about it. The location itself is very nice, Interieur Design is modern and aesthetic. Only thing is, outside you are sitting right next to a 3-lane road. It’s a fair amount of background noise, but we hab no problems, chatting and...
