Casa Vina - Paris 11e Arrondissement

We visited for dinner based on the great reviews. Clue #1: High tourist season in Paris and we were the only ones in the entire restaurant at dinnertime! (Red flag Clue #2: We were served a dish of broken Doritos as a table appetizer. (Sicilian Doritos? . I ordered a pizza that I enjoyed with exception of the raw egg on top. My wife ordered a Penne Arrabiata and my daughter had a Pesto pasta. For starters, the pasta was overcooked; a critical flaw for an Italian restaurant. Both pasta dishes were not flavorful that is the last thing you'd expect for bold dishes that should have been flavor-forward. Sorry to say but Casa Vina is a pass.

In front of the hotel (Le General), where we stayed, is a small restaurant with a charming atmosphere, served by its owners in a very friendly way, making feel you like friends coming to their home. Spectacular pastas, pizzas with a great dough and a special atmosphere you have to try everything ... This is a Must of Paris!!!!

We stumbled upon this delightful little restaurant as it was around the corner from our hotel. Upon entering, we were greeted with a smile by whom I believe was the owner. She didn't speak English but that's okay, we were he foreigners so we came armed with google translate, she was friendly and patient with us while we used our translator to decide what we wanted to order. Once we got our food, we were in heaven. I ordered a carbonara linguine while my partner had the gnocci . Everything was fresh and home made and we dream of this meal to this day.

An attentive food. The gnocchi prosciutto&gorgonzola and the cep gnocchi were delicious. The breads are very fresh and tastey. All come with a smile and a warm service.

Pequeño restaurante con buen ambiente y buena comida, servicio inmejorable y los dueños muy amables.
