Pastavino

Oh my goodness the pasta was so good. So fresh, so flavorful, exactly as the reviews say. Make sure you book ahead of time, as there are about 14 small tables in the tiny restaurant and they fill up quick. We were able to get a reservation the same day, but glad we had booked. Ask the waiter for recommendations, we were not sad that we ordered the gnocchi that was on special. I think he even rolled his eyes in delight when describing it! The portions are decent size too, so don’t overdo it on starters, the star is the pasta, focus on that.

I went to this restaurant out of boredom with the traditional French cuisine– it’s tucked away in the upstairs of a basic italian goods store. Simple ambience with delicious italian cuisine. We especially loved the prosciutto wrapped asparagus, selection of fresh pastas, view of the beautiful St. Germain neighborhood, and friendly waitstaff. A perfect break from menus filled with foie gras and steak frites.

I love hidden places and you won’t believe that this place actually exists in one of the most visited streets in Saint Germain. It is located in the first floor of an italian épicerie and it can seat 15 people more or less. So making a reservation is not optional. It can be a bit expensive for pasta, but I consider the ratio quality/​price to be rather fair. The ambiance is extremely intimate, with mellow music in the background and completely isolated from the noisy Saint Germain. Perfect for dating !

Petite salle, feutrée, romantique, idéale pour un diner à 2.
Les serveurs sont de très bons conseils et très agréable!
Les plats sont divins, raffinés, équilibrés!
Un vrai choix sur la carte.
Nous avons passé une excellente soirée au goût d’Italie.

A wonderful walk up ten table discovery Italian bistro. Family owns the deli below, brothers have the restaurant above. Christopher and his brother run the place. Not a guy word but enchanting.

Beaucoup de charme dans ce mini restaurant de 20 couverts. service et accueil très chaleureux. excellente cuisine italienne .un petit bijou!

Qui se douterait que ce petit escalier au fond d’une épicerie italienne rue de Buci mèné à un restaurant aussi chaleureux que microscopique? J’ai dû passer des dizaines de fois devant sans le remarquer…
Cuisine italienne excellente donc, des plats à base de bon produits qui font mouche à tous les coups! Assortiment de fromages en entrée: varié et frais. Papardelle au crabe: portion généreuse, saveurs équilibrées comme il faut. Pas de dessert faute de place dans l’estomac…
Le cadre est intime (15 – 20 couverts seulement), le restau est tenu par des Bolonais (ce qui implique un accueil sympathique!). L’addition monte un peu (80 € pour deux en se partageant une entrée et avec un verre de vin) mais le premium se justifie comparé aux standards du quartier.

Excellent Italian pasta in the heart of Paris. A real gem that not a lot of people know about! Don’t be deceived. The actual restaurant is above the grocery!
Quality/​Price: 4 stars
Though not a steal because it’s pricey, still one of the best Italian pastas I’ve had in Paris.
Service: 5 stars
Excellent. The waitress went through the menu items one by one to translate Italian to French and English to us.
Ambiance: 5 stars
Very very cozy. Romantic. Quiet. Just lovely!
MUST TRY!

This is a great little restaurant in the heart of the 6^th Ard. We fell in love with the food when we stopped into the deli to get things to take back to our hotel. We later discovered the very small restaurant upstairs from the deli. It only seats about 20 people so make reservations or hope to be lucky like we were. Cozy, friendly, and very good pasta to cap it off. Loved it.

One of the best nights I had on my most recent trip to Paris.
This is a ‘hidden’ italian restaurant that is above a small shop called Pastavino. I found it on a blog prior to my trip to Paris and was excited to try it.
They have about 15 seats in this small restaurant so I definitely suggest that you make reservations. We called the day of and we were able to get one of their last spots for a party of 4 around 10pm. During the summer it’s not that big of a deal as that’s when the sun goes down anyway.
We get there a bit early and since our table wasn’t ready the servers (who spoke fantastic english) offered us some wine and even gave us a nice little amuse bouche while we waited. She even explained the menu to us and allowed us to punch in our appetizers so that we didn’t have to wait to sit down to order them. I thought that was a thoughtful gesture.
When our table is ready, we climb the steps to the cutest little restaurant. It was so cute with a window open to allow the nighttime summer breeze come in with candles throughout. It was such a great ambiance. I uploaded photos, just go look!
Appetizers came shortly after we sat down and everything was fresh and delicious.
I’m not the greatest and describing food, but everything each of us had was great. I uploaded some photos that we took to give you an idea of what the food is like. The service was outstanding and I hope to come back here again on my next trip!

This place was right around the corner from where we were staying. I walked by several times and eyed their paninis. Got the speck (prosciutto) with cheese and was not disappointed. They also have wonderful pre-​made Italian dishes daily that you can take to go to bake later.

Palme d’or du meilleur panino de paris (oui oui au singulier, on dit panino, si ce n’est pas mignon ca!).
Malgré la petite taille de cette trattoria, vous né pouvez pas manquer les paninis empilés dans la vitrine ! Au menu, pain italien craquant, mozzarella di buffala fondante, tomates fraiches, origan, un tas d’autres fromaggi italiens, et des charcuteries à la pelle. Le tout finira forcement dans un des 15 paninis proposés sur l’ardoise. Sur les étagères dans l’épicerie, vous trouverez tous les produits qui font la gloire de toute mama italienne qui se respecte.
Seul bémol: si le prix des sandwich reste relativement raisonnable (entre 5 et 6,5 euros), l’ajout d’un dessert fait vite grimper l’addition (5 euros la part de tiramisu) Et pour une minuscule part de pizza à la découpe, ajouter «vraiment juste pour goûter» compter au moins 4 euros. Bref maurice tu pousses le bouchon un peu trop loin !!
Ah oui et je déconseille les cannolli dont la crème est probablement faite de lait concentrée. Peut être suis je une impie, mais c’était franchement écoeurant…
Donc pour les paninis à fond, traversez la seine rien que pour eux !!!
Pour le reste, avec modération.

De vrais paninis au pays des étudiants. Ici tout est italien. Ines vous accueille avec la chaleur du pays et distille ses recettes maisons.
Une collection de pâtes fraîches impressionante et une crema di tartufo (crème à la truffe) à tomber.
Un aller simple pour la dolce vita en somme.
