What people say
"It's a shame that I have to write this review, I want to start by saying that the staff, service, atmosphere and general decor are what I expect of a restaurant of this standard. The food is mixed. We had the focaccia and artichoke on tzatziki to start and both dishes were well done but could've benefited from some seasoning and flavour. The artichoke was slightly over cooked for my taste but it was a nice experience. I ordered the truffle pasta (supposedly only 3 available this evening despite us being one of the first in the restaurant) and the truffle was muted in its flavour. The pasta and accompanying sauce were lovely and the portion was sufficient. My wife ordered a pizza without cheese (only vegan option) and we had to send this back as it was burnt to a crisp in the middle. The waiter tried to explain that this is the style of Neapolitan pizza despite the cremated remains evident in front of him on the plate. When the second pizza arrived, there was unfortunately little improvement. If you choose to have dessert, go for the chocolate mousse, it's worth every penny. If the chef and his team could improve the food, I've got no doubt that this will be a wonderful offering in a great spot just outside the busiest areas of Paris. For now, it's not worth the prices they charge and I hope they will improve. PS, some vegan options would be nice."
