    Nice place and lovely staff but the food is a bit average - or at least what I add - artichoke salad could have been fresher and the pasta for the vongole was not al dente.

    We had a latecomer who was vegetarian - they were so kind to accommodate his needs and really went that extra mile. The food was delicious.

    Linguine vongole was tough and the sauce bland. An underwhelming dish. Also, the pasta selection is short and uninspiring. Not what I expected based on reviews.

    My fault,,, didn’t look at the menu but relied on Michelin guide recommendation… very disappointed… no pasta at all to be found on the menu and not in the mood for creative food. Ordered an appetizer of ‘steamed bread’,,, and were given 4 pieces of 2” x 1” pieces of bread with something creative on the top.

    I think this restaurant is trying very hard. The food was good — felt a little pricy for what it was. Definitely a good dining experience not necessarily enthralling.

    You really should have no other option for being here. Boring aka contemporary Italian cuisine in a pop casual setting. The wine list is poor consisting of only mean Italian bottles at the prices of solid French options. Okay but if not in Paris.

    Disappointing. Thought a place of this caliber would be better. Not a lot of pasta dishes.

    First course was pasta with artichokes. Very low on flavor and the artichokes were tough to chew. Second course was the sea bream—very good. Third course was the quince. Not great. Wine selections by the glass were excellent. Dining room is stylish but the lighting in the evening is too harsh. I think this restaurant got its Michelin credentials through its association with Alain Ducasse, but I honestly think it has a ways to go.

    I wanted to love this place esp since named as a Michelin Bib Gourmand. The servers are friendly attentive and genuinely ask for feedback. However the kitchen seemed to be slow delivery for a 930pm dinner. The food quality inputs are high and seemed appealing. However the tastes ranged from bland to competing to pleasant. For example, the fish was perfectly cooked and melted in your mouth but the fish couldn't decide among the bitter cabbage and the spicy Asian zing sauce. The pork belly worked well with richness. The polenta was excellent. Again, some dishes bland, some bitter, some excellent. It seems there was group feedback but no executive decision. (le Kitchen Terre restaurant is more flavorful and pronounced). The menu is pricey so it's difficult to say a great value for money. Overall, friendly attentive staff, high quality ingredients, yet mixed taste from bland to competing to pleasant on dishes, and the prices are upper end.

    Food was nicely presented, but did not have much flavour. Portions are very small. The decor is modern and stylish. The kitchen was very well staffed but the waiters were understaffed which caused delay and slow service with drink service. All in all the experience is not worth the cost

    For a Michelin star restaurant the level of service left a lot to be desired. Wine & water glasses were not topped up. Dishes not explained when delivered to the table. We had to ask for salt & pepper as our main courses did not taste like they were seasoned. The pepper mill we were given was empty. Quality of food was not as expected

    Although this is a bib gourmand standard the quality of the dishes did not meet my expectations that I would expect of the Michelin Rating, I felt that it is living on the Chefs/Owners name and would not achieve that recommendation if it was in a different city or different chef. the menu was limited and the dishes extremely small, I have lobster and although I couldn't fault the quality of the dish the amount of lobster would have mounted to 25-30 grams. One of the party had the lamb and the 2 pieces of lamb would not amount to 75g altogether. This along with no vegetable or any accompaniment apart for the garnish, over salting of al least 3 of the dished with stringy inedible seaweed as the main ingredient of the dish. of the 14 dishes (entree and mains) 8 were of good quality 4 were over salted (one being extremely over salted) 2 were inedible. Overall experience not good as it would be pot luck whether or not you choose a good dish, most of the party were not satisfied with regard to quantity of food and this was mainly due to the extent of bread served to the table. It was not expensive (apart form the wine list) for a Bib Gourmand Award restaurant. I would suggest that the Michelin Inspector revisit and forget who the Owner is. Compared top the Bib Gourmand standard of Dublin Restaurants Cucina would not be even close.

    Another superb meal - subtle and superbly balanced dishes- creative and delicious. Great front of house service - amazing kitchen. Go - and enjoy Italian cuisine with a delightful creative twist. Every trip to Paris from Australia includes at least one meal here. And a long wait for the next one ????

    Down to earth italian restaurant with interesting but not fully refined dishes. I went here based on a Michelin mention and would say it is somewhat sub-par to other experiences with the same recommendation

    The location is nice, the decoration too. Service is a bit slow, I had to ask for water, and for bread. The 28€ menu is not really interesting food wise. Maybe if you go there you should go for the expensive one (70€) and the food experience would be better. Don't know !

    Nice food of good quality but inacceptable low quantity. Crostinies with a surface of 4 square cm are really unique as well as a boulliabsise of 5 cl plus some nuce fish.

    This is a nice place, where food quality and innovation have a high priority. We love Wilmotte’s style/decoration, just think the plastic fruit don’t fit in such a sustainable restaurant and should be replaced by porcelain/ ceramic ones, which are current in Italy. Also the music playlist could be revised, Italy has also good singers ????. We recommand this nice place to those who like good ‘cucina´ and wish to try new preparations in a fine surrounding

    The pastas were al dente and the veal was delicious. We were advised by our concierge to avoid the pizza - the lady seated next to us didn’t get the same advice (glad we didn’t). Everything we ordered was well prepared, fresh and very tasty. We would highly recommend.

    We had high expectations for this Alain Ducasse restaurant but we were disappointed. The service was very slow and the two course lunch took almost two hours! The waitperson was not welcoming or considerate. The appetizers were very tasty except for too much salt and the risotto which promised sausage had none at all just some sausage flavor in the sauce dripped on top. The espresso was over roasted and bitter and the waitperson didn’t even take it off the check! We won’t return for quite awhile.

    Nice setting, authentic food, well prepared. Service was a bit slow, due to shortage of staff it seems, but we had an enjoyable time overall.

    There was nothing special and the food was below average. Probably any Italian you walk into at random would have a better selection and taste. Not at all impressed

    The presentation of my ice cream was probably the worst dish I have experienced ever. I should have taken a picture it was truly awful. It looked like it had been scraped into the dish like a brick layer would apply cement. What made it worse was the small dish was only 60% full.

    Unbelievable food and just as amazing service. If you are looking for a wonderful meal in Paris, look no further! Everything was prepared to perfection. They even allowed us the tradition of serving us the last piece of Tiramisu in the pan and allowing us to enjoy all the left over bits. Really awesome and memorable!

    Food was quite good. Initial welcome was fine. Service went downhill from there. Forgotten water. Forever to ask for dessert or coffee. Slow to get the bill and even to get the bill. Lax Covid standards. Disappointed.
