Wish I could give 0 Star.

I have been a loyal patron of Presto Fresco for years, often bringing friends and colleagues to what was once a gem in Paris. Over the years, I have had many wonderful experiences here, even getting to know the previous management. However, my recent visit was nothing short of horrific and has completely shattered my view of this establishment.

We arrived as a group of four, excited to enjoy a meal and drinks at a place we once loved. From the outset, we were met with rudeness and an utter lack of hospitality. We ordered bottles of wine, cocktails, pizza, and burrata truffle and politely requested that the adjacent table be reserved for two friends who were on their way. The server, Katian, who I recognized from previous visits as a server but now shockingly acting as the manager, flatly refused, acting as if our request was an outrageous imposition. When our friends finally arrived, he begrudgingly allowed them to sit, but his hostile demeanor made it clear he was doing so under duress.

The situation escalated into a nightmare when we ordered drinks for our newly arrived friends, as they were still deciding on what to eat. Katian stormed over, raising his voice and humiliating us in front of the entire restaurant, demanding that we order food immediately or leave. He barked at us, claiming this was a restaurant, not a bar, and that we couldn’t simply enjoy drinks without ordering food—as if we hadn’t just ordered a substantial amount moments before. His behavior was aggressive, unprofessional, and utterly shocking.

I was taken aback by this rude conduct and requested to speak with the manager, as I had positive interactions with management in the past. To my dismay, Katian curtly informed me that he was now the manager and that he was the one who "calls the shots" at this place. His demeanor was not only disrespectful but also deeply disappointing.

The experience was so appalling that we decided to cut our visit short. What should have been a pleasant evening turned into a stressful, humiliating ordeal. Despite our bill amounting to 143 euros, we felt utterly unwelcome and treated with disdain. This once-beloved restaurant has lost all its charm, now tainted by the despicable behavior of its staff.

I strongly urge anyone considering a visit to Presto Fresco to think twice. No one should have to endure such disgraceful treatment. Avoid this place at all costs.
