Pianoterra sur Paris

Sublime Sicilian restaurant, adorable waitress, perfect wine.

An excellent experience! Reduced choice (3 per meal stage) but what a pleasure to have such high-quality homemade food! I highly recommend!

Very welcoming environment, as well as the waiters always kind and helpful. Excellent advice on which wine to combine with the menu, today characterized by a really exquisite pasta alla Norma. For all Italians it is a stop not to be missed in the 11th arrondissement.

Best Mediterranean restaurant from Paris! ✨ An essential address for lovers of delicate and tasty cuisine. Extraordinarily creative chef, exceptional products, impeccable service. No fuss, I love it, I recommend 👍🏻

Amazing authentic Italian food with super sweet and attentive staff. Nice location too

My favorite of the year! Simply perfect on every level! The team is adorable and caring! The setting is very pleasant, high ceilings, refined decor, calm and warm atmosphere, as if we were outside, on a summer evening facing the Mediterranean! But the highlight of the show is really what you eat there! Top-notch Sicilian gastronomy! Flawless from starter to dessert including wine! But the dish was truly to die for! And I weigh my words ! The products are of impeccable quality, the cooking is perfect, the flavors and textures are sublime! A capital BRAVO! Thank you for this moment suspended in time! Run there!

Another little gem for the taste buds! For those who love Italian cuisine, Le Restaurant du 11ème will make you happy. Everything is good there! From starter to dessert and main course, you are in for a treat!! Without forgetting the wines! The room is beautiful, the tables spaced apart and in the summer you can enjoy the small temporary terrace! The service is perfect, without fuss and the whole team, in the kitchen and in the dining room, smiling and happy to welcome you. Remember to book in advance because it fills up quickly, very quickly!

Really excellent and genuine Italian fare from a chef who is half Sicilian and Half from Milan (so the waiter told me). The clientele were speaking a lot of Italian so it’s a good sign they recognize the real deal. The Rasscass fish ragu was truly tasty and the veal rigatoni dish was excellent as were the meatballs. Service was a little slow but they were super busy and the decor is cozy but a bit random, as if you were visiting a newly moved in friend with a big living room kitchen combination that had not yet decided where to hang their artwork. Nice terrace on the stretside.

I had lunch at Pianoterra, having a starter, a main course, a dessert and a coffee. I found the cuisine authentic and far from banal, with excellent and above all seasonal combinations. Their concept of offering cuisine that recalls "childhood like when we ate at our grandparents' house" is perfectly successful. In this restaurant, I found all the elements that a restaurant of excellence should have: professionalism, research, history, knowledge and respect for the raw material. P.S. I am writing this review as a chef and not as a customer.

Lovely atmosphere and attentive service. We found the starters were very good. We had the polpette, squid salad in tomato and basil jus and Sicilian caponata. All were exquisite and beautifully balanced in flavours. The mains, a seafood risotto was overly spiced with black pepper which overwhelmed the delicate flavours. The pasta main, slow cooked beef with rigatoni, was a real disappointment. The pasta was dry and the meat though tender was lacking in flavour. Due to the lack of any sauce to carry the flavours and soak up into the very al dente pasta, the final product had a gritty and chewy mouthfeel. The friendly service, lovely ambience made up for the disappointing mains. I would recommend the place for a cool , hip ambience, excellent wines and generally a nice place, but wonder if the food is a bit of hit and miss.
