Starter: antipasti de legumes was nice, but nothing special. Spaghetti alle vongole was, apart from a generous amount of vongole, a bit disappointing. Pasta was not al dente, slightly overcooked and it missed the typical pungent / sweet taste this dish should have. Wasn’t the worst ever, but could definitely be improved. Staff was welcoming and friendly, efficient and attentive too

The scallop risotto with truffles was absolutely incredible! Both the solo mio and the gnocchi were delicious.

Lively & charming spot near Bastille/Marais. Service shines as the trio of servers manage the bustling room. The calamari entree was delicious! Everything tasty throughout. Nice value. Will return.

Book a table? Call the restaurant as booking online does not work... We were lucky, we got 1 table for 2! Great staff and suggestions for the "plat du jour"! Good taste of the mussel-clams casserole, lamchops were a bit overcooked, taglio + scallops were excellent. To recommend!

Food was excellent, very nice atmosphere, service was good. Only drawback was tables are too close together, small and very crowded. Great meal but very uncomfortable atmoshpere.

Very nice restaurante, looked cosy inside, but this warm evening we sat outside along the street. Relaxed athmosphere, alot of people. The meat was very tender and excellent prepared and the ham and trufflepasta was creamy and tasty. The staff were funny and helpful, but as the restaurante was crowded we had to wait a bit. Thanks for the limocello we’ll come again!

Favorite spot when in Paris and when the weather is good for outdoor seating. Dish of the day is always a good choice. It’s often full of locals, which is nice.

After 3 COVID years away from France, it was wonderful to be back dining in Le Petit Italien. Excellent service and great food and wine. A real pleasure. We look forward to dining there again.

LOVED this restaurant! Wish we lived in Paris - would be a regular hang out for us. We love the sister restaurant Le Petite Marche which we visit on every trip to Paris. Can't believe we didn't know about this place before. SO delicious. Not 'typical' Italian dishes you see on every menu. BUT authentic - not nouveau...just inventive and delicious.

Disappointed as had been before and we really liked it. Couldn’t get the order right and then overcharged for the dish we did have. When pointed this out he refunded 2 euros instead of 6 euros which didn’t leave a good taste.
