I tried Leggera Romantica, and I really liked it. Very tasty pasta. I do recommend. The variety of wine is not abundant, however I liked their red wine Gregoletto, Decembre 1600. Good and hard to find wine. Why 4 stars? Well, in my opinion, a good Italian restaurant should play Italian music, instead of English pop music like Madonna. It really affects the mood. And the price range is a way better than the neighborhood. You will like the pasta here. Be warned that you will only find pasta, not pizza here. So dont be fooled by the name of Italian by thinking you can get pizza as well as pasta. Recommended şf you love eating pasta. Their special pasta is Leggera Romantica, and you should try it.

A friend and I popped in here last night after doing some shopping with the kids and were very pleasantly surprised. Warm and inviting Italian restaurant, the staff was happy to speak«Frang-Li-Italian» with us and help us order(English menus provided!) We enjoyed one«daily special» ravioli dish as well as the pasta bolognese, pasta with aubergines and pasta with crème sauce-all were all delicious and had us soaking up the sauce with their bread. By the way, they have a great boulanger! A reasonably priced bottle of Merlot rounded out the meal. Our waiter was very kind and sent out kid-sizes portions of ice cream for dessert. Even though this is more of a «date» restaurant, they treated our kids very nicely and even split a main course onto two plates in the kitchen. Will definitely come back – for a date night with my husband!

The Leggera Romantica is my favorite dish I’ve had in Paris! Going back for more tonight. Great service, food and wine selection!

Wonderful tasty Italian fare in readily available location Pasta dishes are the house specialty and they are priced fairly and portioned to not overwhelm but left my wife and I very satisfied. Will return. Try sardine dish, flavorful and lite fish flakes quite unique, not something I’ve had in the big apple.

For our final evening in Paris, we booked reservations with Romantica Caffé in the 1st Arrondissement… The atmosphere is relaxed and casual, making you feel at home! Service was incredible from the moment we walked in the door. Our waitress was fluent in French, as well as Italian, Spanish and some English which made our visit quite pleasant. She was very attentive to our needs and made certain everything was perfect! We started our experience off with a beautiful bottle of white wine and chose the Burrata appetizer special, followed by the infamous Leggera Romantica… A beautiful presentation leaked its way onto our plates… After finishing the entire dish [yes it is that delectable] we moved onto a bottle of Prosecco which assisted in digestion… for the final touch we chose the brioche con Nutella [worth every calorie], as well as an espresso and coffee… The entire meal exceeded our expectations and they have won customers for life! We will be back here very soon! Thank you for a wonderful evening Romantica Caffé! For anyone reading this review, give them a try… You will NOT be disappointed!

Dinner here was a delight! We took our thee under-ten children and they also had a great experience. The entire meal, from appetizers to main courses, was special. The owner was waiting tables on a Monday night. He was friendly and accommodating.

Beautiful place. Excellent service. The parmesan cream pasta(Leggera Romantica) was made table side and was absolutely amazing. I had the best tiramisu I have ever eaten. Outstanding choice.

My family had a very nice experience here. The head lady spoke very good English although we tried our French. I appreciated that they allowed this! «Ham» and melon app and cheese plate was large enough to split for 4. We all had different pasta and all left very happy. Great Italian. Apple Tart was enjoyed by my daughter for desert. 5 rating for service and willingness to work with a family who tries very hard not to be American(even when it easier to just speak English). Tres Bien

We dined here here for lunch and were very happy we did. They seated us close to 2:15 on Sunday at a time when many restaurants have closed or are closing. I ordered rigatoni bolognese and my wife had a special pasta that they flambee in a parmigian cheese wheel. The flame melted cheese into the linguini and cream making a delicious pasta dish. It is hard to do the dish justice in words. Definitely 5 stars on the presentation. The only thing that I wouldn’t rate 5 stars was the glass of wine that seemed a little oxidized but tasted OK after a little while. In the future I would go with a bottle not a glass. Bolognese was excellent as well. Can’t miss Italian food in paris.

The food was delicious! I suggest making a reservation as we did. My husband and I went here on our recent honeymoon. They have an English and French menu. I had a delicious linguine dish and my husband had linguine with meat, both were extremely flavorful and delicious, it surpassed my expectations! For dessert we had tiramisu. Staff is very helpful for suggesting Italian wines and dishes and was English speaking. I think it’s a great location for couples and small groups!

Delicious Italian food in a clean, pleasant atmosphere. Many items on the menu are a choice between linguine and rigatoni. Highly recommend the linguine with basil pesto and potatoes and French green beans, and the pasta(your choice) with tomatoes, roasted eggplant, and pine nuts with cheese. The portions are pretty big so consider sharing if you are not that hungry. We were very satisfied, full, and happy.

Pas exceptionnel mais bon Ca va qualité des mets correct mais sans plus plus, les quantités sont minimes alors que le prix même avec 10% de réduction via lafourchette reste cher je né conseille pas mais la nourriture est correct pour une trattoria où il n’y a pas de mama aux fourneaux.

L’Italia a Parigi Une table italienne très très agréable. Nous avons fait une réservation«en ligne» et nous fûment agréablement surpris. Pous un dîner intime, je conseille ce retaurant. La carte de vins(les bons) italiens est assez variée. Vous y trouverez vraiment de quoi vou régaler !

Excellent Recommandé pour un dîner en tête à tête près des Invalides un soir d’été. Addition un peu salée quand on ajoute une bonne bouteille de vin, mais les pâtes le valent bien !

Je fréquente cet excellent italien le midi et à chaque fois c’est un régal! Les pâtes du jour sont souvent un délice mais ils maîtrisent également la cuisson des poissons, toujours bien accompagnés. En dessert la panna cotta est à tomber et on m’a dit du bien du bien du tiramisu et de la mousse de citron. Même le chocolat qui accompagne le café est top! Coté cave, je recommande les vins italiens. Le service peut parfois être un peu lent, mais le personnel est toujours très sympa. L’addition est un peu élevé(plus que l’italien«de base») mais ça vaut carrément le coût ;-)

So italian Très bonne soirée. Les serveuses,(des italiennes des vraies!) aux petits soins, la gastronomie italienne authentique, un lieu feutré et agréable. Petit bémol, la proximité des tables… a éviter pour un premier rendez vous romantique. Mais je recommande fortement l’endroit tant il est difficile de trouver un italien digne de ce nom.

Très chic Ce petit havre de paix de la rue du chevalier de Saint Georges est une merveille. Mon bureau étant situé tout près, je l’ai élue ma cantine chic où je peux décemment et sans chichi y déjeuner avec mes clients. L’accueil y est charmant, on vous reconnais très vite, le personnel né change pas toutes les semaines et la cuisine est d’une régularité exemplaire ! Cuisine raffinée, d’ailleurs un de mes client me disait que dans le 7ème ils avaient également un Romantica Caffé de la même trempe !
