Restaurant Monteleone sur Paris

15/08/2024: We came in for lunch while walking along the street and liked the place, especially since there was a table right along the pedestrian street, as if people were eating on the terrace. We liked the food, but we have eaten in better Italian restaurants. The service was relatively fast despite the heavy traffic. What makes it worth visiting is the atmosphere, at first we thought it was an awkward attempt by the owner to turn on the music and start clapping, but apparently every guest there was happy to join in singing or just listening to the old familiar Italian songs/notes with a smile. The owner had a kind word or something funny to say to everyone, even to the onlookers on the street, and the whole show lasted just long enough to eat. It's worth a try.
