Best Italian restaurant in Paris 13th. Not that easy to find but well worth it. Menu changes every week, fresh ingredients, great wine. Opening hours are a bit different though
This pizza is much better than I ever expected. I was hoping for a casual, quick Italian place to grab a bite on a tired work day, this place is a hidden gem in the dalle. Pasta dishes are ok, but I suggest going for the pizza.
Excellent, testy and subtle Italian food, with changing starters and dishes.

Nearest first, then across the Rio Grande Valley.
