Villa Dondelli — Restaurant in Paris

WORST PLACE DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME COMING HERE IF YOU ARE AMERICAN!!!!! My fiancé and I made reservations August 2,2021 and were so excited to come here since it had a 4 star. It was also our anniversary so we wanted to celebrate. Worst mistake!!! We got there and everyone passed us by for over 10 minutes just looking at and ignoring to sit us!! After almost 15 minutes they finally sat us on a DIRTY TABLE that they cleaned while we were sitting !!! And the sat the people that came after us that had no reservation at our original table that we called hours ago to reserve! Not once did that ask ask for our name under the reservations!!!! They discriminated us because we are Americans and do not speak French!!!! After being sat at a dirty table they took another 15 minutes just to ask if we even wanted water! My fiancé decided that he didn’t want to eat there nor give our money to this restaurant we decided to get up to leave . As we were leaving I asked the waiter for the manager he completely ignored me!!! I had to basically scream “EXCUSE ME “ that caught the attention of other customers and then he finally pointed at the manager. I thought the manager would be more help or at least apologetic but instead he was dismissive and said if we wanted he could change our table! He thought that we were upset OVER A TABLE AND NOT THE HORRIBLE TREATMENT OF HIM AND HIS STAFF!!!!! This is the worst place to go too. They have no respect, they discriminate and are super nasty. SAVE YOUR MONEY!!!! THEY DONT EVEN DESERVE THIS 1 STAR! Anyone that treats human like garbage over their race doesn’t deserve...

Aweful for families. Families, stay clear and avoid!!! The owner is a monster and hates children, the manager is aggressive and they will cheat you and overcharge if you don't watch your bill. We went there because of their "good reviews" with a 6 year old and 1.5 year old. The owner looked down at us at soon as we walked in and put us in the back of the restaurant. We stayed there for over 2 hours and spent over 250 Euros, which allowed us to "continue" to be there. We enjoyed the food, please don't get me wrong it was "good", and the staff "tried", but the tension was horrible. My goodness, I won't go there again. If you are not spending money, you will be rushed. I asked for a baby chair for my 1.5 year old son, and received a chair straight from the 80s! It was digusting, with old food everywhere and chair ripped in places. It wasn't cleaned for years! I used around 1 pack of antibacterial wipes on it, before giving up (and gagging) and covering it fully with their napkins. I posted pics of this chair as it was unbelievable. Only thing worth posting to be honest. Please avoid unless you are willing to spend money and you are only with adults. It definitely felt like a tourist trap and not the experience you want to...

0/10. Avoid at all costs - Plastic in our pasta:

Considering this restaurant charges €23 for a plate of pasta, it’s reasonable to expect that the food would be excellent. Sadly, it was inedible when we visited August 2019.

I found a piece of clear plastic string (perhaps fishing wire?) in my pasta. Revolting. When I showed this to the man who owns the restaurant, he took it away. He did not come back to explain or apologise. I asked for the bill and the waitress said she had removed €7 the bill to cover a flatbread that we had ordered.

Assuming this was a joke, I went to the cash desk to explain that I did not eat the €23 pasta dish that contained plastic. I added that I would not be paying for it but that I was happy to pay for my partner’s dish that happened to be edible. At this point he owner decided to show his face and said that it did not matter that there was plastic in the food as it was only a ‘small’ amount...

God...
