Good food, fair prices compared to other places and friendly service. We could choose a nice table outside and got immediately tap water served, I appreciated that. I liked the carbonara pasta more than the pizza. Overall it was delicious. I would come back!

Food was absolutely delicious! And props to the chef, food arrived fairly quickly (<10mins)! Unfortunately the service was amateur. Friendly, but amateur. Brought a bottle of water to the table, but no glasses to pour into? Luckily food arrived quickly so we followed up then. Also ordered a beer and a virgin cocktail with the food, but the drinks didn't arrive until half way through our meal... Posted pic to show how much food was eaten before I got my beer.

Decent place, decent tase in the area. Didn’t come to this as our first choice for dining. Instead of waiting for a long queue, we decided to have our dinner here. Considerable numbers of table and guests, but not too crowded. Had a quick menu, I guess, not recommended dishes, as I was too full and too tired that day. Would come back next time.

What an amazing place to have pizza!!! Everything was absolute delicious from starters to dessert, but pizza is for sure the star of the house. The crust is perfect, one of the best I have had. Super crowded (a bit noisy) so make sure you make your reservation. We chose two pizzas: Bufala "la vraie" and Buratissima and both were so delicious that all pizza was gone in minutes.

During Olympics we went there due to TOP50 ranking. Location is very good with nice outside serving place, you have panorama over quite dynamic street and other cafes. Stuff is very friendly and welcoming, no questions, makes sense of Italian atmosphere in Paris. We ordered different pizzas, however non of them was really good. It was true average, maybe because we had very high expectations. It seemed like pizza was quite dry, not juicy enough, probably because of dough. I would rank 3.5 from 5. But of course worth visit to test.
