Al Dente sur Paris

16/05/2026: We received a very warm welcome upon arrival at the restaurant, in a pleasant and elegant setting. Despite our dietary restrictions, we opted for the chef's five-course tasting menu, which he adapted admirably, right down to the bread. Everything was delicious and flawless. The wine pairings, to my great delight as an Italian wine enthusiast, were of high quality and carefully selected. From the Verdicchio dei Castelli di Jesi for the starter, to the Alberaia from Pietro Caciorgna and the renowned Barolo from Pio Cesare for the main courses, and a lovely aged Vin Santo di Chianti for dessert, everything was perfect. We had a wonderful time, and we thank Oscar and all the staff, who were exceptional and impressed us with their excellent service, professionalism, and kindness.

09/05/2026: The restaurant boasts an original location on the first floor of the Armani boutique in Saint-Germain-des-Prés, with a beautiful, minimalist, and elegant dining room in the designer's signature style: shades of beige, banquettes, lacquered walls, and soft lighting. However, it's merely a showcase: the dishes are bland, the ingredients are simply applied and understated, the sauces are heavy and cloying. It's sadly unoriginal and overpriced for what's on the plate. Focus on the clothing: that's your expertise, and you excel at it!
