BigLove

This is an Italian restaurant, not a French one, that I visit two or three times every time I go to Paris. It’s best to make a reservation if possible, but even if you haven’t, I recommend going there if you’re nearby and enjoying at least an hour of a meal. The opening times are irregular, so sometimes you might catch an empty open run. We’ve always gone spontaneously and often had a lucky and delicious meal that left us feeling great. The coffee is really good, and in the evening, definitely try the pasta. There aren’t many photos, so it’s a bit disappointing, and I didn’t want to share it because if it becomes more popular, it might be harder to get a reservation in the future. I’ve kept it as my little secret.

The food was overall delicious. The truffle pasta was especially tasty, and while the funghi risotto was a bit salty, it was still enjoyable. However, we had to wait far too long for the food, possibly because there was a large group dining that day. In fact, the table next to us didn’t even have their order taken and ended up leaving. Although our order was taken, we waited for 1 hour and 15 minutes for our food, and during that time, we weren’t given any updates or explanations. When we finished our meal and went to pay, the server apologized for the delay, but it would have been better if we were informed earlier. The server’s handling of the situation that day was a bit disappointing.

A fantastic Italian restaurant in Paris. It's owned by the bIg Mamma chain. The pasta was really fresh and creamy and rich. Delicious. The pizza was equally delicious. The wine list is substantive. We found out after our meal that this restaurant is vegetarian. Highly recommend ur to anyone craving a very nice Italian meal in Paris.

What a gorgeous facade, beautiful inside and out! The pizza was really good, but my pasta was so-so. It is a local place for us and we were hoping we would be regulars. But alas there are better pizza and pasta options around the corner. I'm sure it is a mecca for vegetarians as there are few full-on vegetarian options. With a line and waiting list, perhaps it is I who is missing something.

I was absolutely blown away my by my experience here! The service and food were both incredible. The spaghetti was cooked to perfection, with a rich and flavorful sauce that tasted like it came straight from a Nonna’s kitchen. The margarita pizza was just as impressive, with a crispy crust, fresh mozzarella, and the perfect balance of tomatoes and basil. Every bite was a slice of Italy! The atmosphere was warm and inviting, and the service was top-notch. If you’re looking for authentic Italian cuisine, Big Love is the place to be. Highly recommend!

Loved the atmosphere!! We got 3 different types of pasta and they were all so tasty! Waiters are very kind!

Glad we reserved a table for dinner as the restaurant is filled to the brim on a weekday. With local or directly imported ingredients from Italy, the pizza was delicious. Perfectly baked thin crust which my daughter finished happily. The burrata and focaccia were also spot on.

The waiters are very welcoming. We were quickly seated at the table. I am used to eating in big mama restaurants and I am always quite happy with the service, the quality of the food and the portions. The truffle pasta was very very good. I am still in love with their tiramisu 🥰

SO much love for BigLove! We arrived late and they were so sweet to accommodate us. If you're looking for a wonderful, authentic Italian spot in Paris that is vegetarian heaven - and will happily accommodate vegans - look no further. Prepare to be welcomed, to walk into a warm and fun atmosphere, and for the INCREDIBLE smells and delicious tastes. We were headed to Italy shortly after, and eating here was such a fun way to kick off that trip. We'll be back next time we visit!

Amazing food, wonderful service! The ambiance was beautiful, with live music, candles, and lovely wine!

Absolutely great food. Vegetarian Italian spot. Definitely a great ambiance and the service was great. The only thing it was missing was the meat!! otherwise an amazing time and great food.

Went here with my friends because we heard the mamma group for Italian food was good. Had some GREAT food here. The interior was nice & the perfect amount of rowdy. We had two bottles of wine and tried just about everything on the menu. Some items are pricey for what you get (i.e. the focaccia) but others are perfectly worth it (pretty much all the pastas, including the truffle pasta, and the pizzas). Also, BigLove is vegetarian which I know turns some people off, but as a meat eater this was some of the best Italian food I've ever had. Can't recommend this spot enough, definitely will be back.

Everything was wonderful! So delicious, it was hard to pick what to order. Second time and will definitely be back again when in Paris!

Biglove is a vegetarian's paradise! Be sure to make a reservation, as it does get quite crowded. It is SO cute (and photogenic) inside, and their menu is very impressive. I can see why the influencers are obsessed. We ordered a pasta dish and a pizza (and some cocktails) to share and they were outstanding. The pizza was one of the best I have ever had! I wish I was hungry enough to try the whole menu. We will definitely be back if we find ourselves in town again!

A great vegetarian spot featuring an extensive wine list and a very cool decor. We each had pizza which was fantastic. As a carnivore, I missed jambon on my pie, but not much. Service was very friendly and attentive. Our lack of French did not present a problem. Biglove Caffe is a nice place to enjoy friends, drink and food.

Very delicious vegetarian Italian food. We had pizza (the "hot stuff"), and drinks. The service was friendly, and the atmosphere is great. Highly recommend.

Be sure to make a reservation prior! We saw people get turned away on a Monday night. Our food came fast but we noticed that the people who got seated next to us (and before us) still had not gotten their food by the time we left. Service was decent. Pasta was the winner here.

Loved this place! One of our favorite restaurant in Paris that we came here twice. Make sure to make reservations, pretty easy from Google maps of the restaurant. Service is amazing compared to the rest of Paris' cafes. Their burrata was the best we've ever had, which includes our tour of Italy. Pizza Margherita and spaghetti carbonarra were of such high quality. Calzone was interesting, lots of different flavors like mint, mushrooms, hazelnut, etc. Not a fan of the calzone but we enjoyed the creativity. You scan the QR code for the menu, and you can also pay the bill via the QR code. They also have a pac man type game you can play from the scanned code!

Great find and really fantastic food. It's a bit pretentious but the food really makes up for it. The truffle pasta is definitely a must...super creamy and flavorful. We also had the pasta filled with ricotta and goat cheese cream and it was fab. There are lots of options and delicious pizza. All vegetarian! Also tried the "meat" balls which were surprisingly full of flavor and broccoli! Definitely worth trying this place out.

Lovely vegetarian restaurant by the Big Mamma Group in Paris - the service is fantastic but recommended one makes a reservation for dinner. We had pasta and pizza and both were good as we would expect

Nice 100% vegetarian restaurant. Food was okay. Big plates small tables. If you like charcoal vegetables sauce you will like pizza it wasn't for me

Amazing food and service. Some of the best pizza I have ever had - which is saying a lot! Would highly recommend reserving in advance as the place gets packed quickly. 10/10

We couldn't eat at this place. We waited at the front for Saturday Brunch. The website and entrance sing advised you can walk in as long as there's space. We waited over 25min since they were having a kitchen issue yet, after they open, we were told there was no space since the entire restaurant has reservations for all tables for the entire day . Do yourself a favor and reserved before you showed up (kinda sucks they have no room for walk-in's)

We happened to stumble upon Biglove on our way back to our AirBnB in the Marais district. Due to the serendipitous nature of our introduction to the restaurant, we knew nothing of its merit -- other than what was made apparent by the packed tables, despite it having been around 21h. We ordered truffle pasta (which came in a skillet, truffles abounding), a bolognese (not kid-approved, but enjoyed by mom), a margarita pizza, and a salad. The waiters spoke Italian but understood our broken French and native English, and the decor made us feel as though we had suddenly walked in to an Italian grandmother's kitchen in the early 1900s with bottles and jars of grains filling the shelves. A must-visit!

I assume this place is the little sister of East Mamma and the daughter of Big Mamma...lol No matter what the association is this is where you go for delicious Italian food! The staff is not only attentive they are funny. We have visited Big Love just once but we have visited East Mamma many times in Paris. The food is fresh, full of unique flavors and served with a smile. They have a nice wine menu as well ( they have moscato) and it is reasonably priced. The added benefit is that they have a few brunch offerings on the weekend. We ordered the lobster pasta and the truffle pizza. Not a morsel was left on our plates when we left! We wanted to get dessert but found ourselves way to full. We shall have to make more of an effort next time to get some dessert.

NOT VEGAN FRIENDLY AT ALL. Since this is a vegetarian restaurant and vegetarian is usually very accommodating to vegans, we assumed we'd have some great options here but they did not accommodate us at all. They wouldn't make any of the dishes vegan. Only a margarita pizza with no cheese Aka crust + marinara sauce. They refused to give us vegetables on our pizza. They said the pasta noodles have egg in them. They refused to remove cheese from any of the other dishes. They don't even have salad. So we basically ate bread for dinner. I have felt more accommodated at steak houses. The restaurant is also pretentious and makes you feel like you're a bother for simply requesting vegetables on a pizza at a vegetarian restaurant???

amazing ambiance when you walk in and great service. we ordered pretty much every antipasti and loved it all. spaghetto straight from the cheese wheel was delicious. my boyfriend had the mammargherita pizza and said it was the best he's had since being in italy. the gnocco puccino was delicious and reminded me of spaghetti alla nerano. the sundae and other desserts were also wonderful. sooo yum will definitely be coming back!

This restaurant is very trendy - make sure you make a reservation. We got lucky cause they had fit us in but unlucky cause they split our group of 4 by two tables at opposites sides of the restaurant and we shared tables with others which is understandable if they made a reservation. The service was okay - nothing amazing and couldn't give us any good recommendations. We ordered the right thing cause this pasta was soooooooooo good. The truffle pasta was absolutely delicious and it was so perfectly cooked and made. Really great meal. The atmosphere is alright but the food made everything worth it.

Pizza was great / atmosphere even better! Service was very kind and helpful. Went without a reservation. Would definitely come back!

Honestly, and don't shoot me diehard bigmama group fans; This place was just ok. First of all, the staff here are absolutely fantastic. Warm, happy to see you, kind with your shitty French (yes you). these guys are far and away the best thing big love has going on (well that and a great zip code). We got here early on a Friday, looking for a bite and a cocktail, aka the usual. We were seated quickly, and oh boy am I happy we were Let me explain Roughly 5 minutes after we sat down, the queue that this place is know for started to build. And build...and ..ok you get the picture. Now I want to make it clear that this line in no way shape or form changed our meal. We weren't rushed nor was anyone else. Our food took a while, but when it came out it got me asking myself..why. why the line? It was fine, sure , but worth waiting for? No way. Neither were the drinks we got (their belini Is a million times better than their Mimosa*). It's not that it was bad, I mean it was fine. But again, the queue and hype just didn't justify the burrata, ravioli, or pizza. All were ok, and if you're looking for a spot for a bite to eat you could do worse. if there's a line? Just don't , you can do so much better in this city. ------- Let me use a greater than sign, yelp!

Biglove caffe is amazing. I would bring my friends back anytime. I came here with a friend who lived in France for the past three years, and he said any of these related restaurants all serve great food. We came before peak hours to make sure that we got a seat, and we were immediately seated. Since I am vegetarian, my friend asked the waitresses about their vegetarian options. They were very helpful. I can't really rate how the service would have been if I went alone because my friend talked to them in French. We got the truffle pasta, mozzarella di bufala, and mammargherita. Honestly, I'm getting so hungry just thinking of what we had here. It was the first time having truffle and I would say it is a must try. It has a really distinct taste that I wasn't particularly fond of, but at the same time loved. All the food here looks amazing and I would suggest you try it all if you're ever in a bigmamma group restaurant!

Excellent service! Would be a great spot for a date or night out with friends. The cocktail menu was great and so was the wine selection. The menu was a bit small but overall the food was lovely.

Chic, intimate restaurant with an eclectic vegetarian menu. No sacrifices are made in creating these dishes. The fun vibe started when they threw open the door at 7:00 pm and invited us in. Wait staff was attentive and friendly. Service was amazingly fast. Reservations a must!

Great service but got food poisoning from risotto. Wish I would have been warned before my flight the next morning the risotto is paired with diarrhea.

Delicious food and fun atmosphere highly recommend! We got a pizza and pasta to share and a bottle of wine. All was fantastic

MUST TRY! It's affiliated with "Pink Mama". Very Italian, the plates and desserts are so yummy! Everything was so amazing.

Visited this establishment today and all I can think of all day was those pancakes. We sat down right away since we got them before 10am. If you get there after 10am, I noticed that's when the traffic starts flooding in. Food and service was delicious and I might make the trip up there tomorrow again! Went for the second time the following day, pancakes were still delicious but this time we were not able to order eggs because it wasn't 11am. Which was odd because we were able to order the day prior. Anyways, service was not great today...but I would definitely come on a weekend. Not too busy during the weekday.

A big love to the big love café! I REALLY appreciate the mamma group behind all these Italian restaurants concept, that were born in the past years, always a good place to eat (decorated with a lot of details), a great team of fabulous Italian waiters to welcome you and the food always fresh and delicious. The menu is different from the other outlet but you get to have the same quality of pizza and pasta as the Obermama for example. I always do recommend the Mamma group restaurants to any of my friends visiting Paris and Obermama is still a favourite but Biglove Café is such a great place for an all day brunch or when you crave a really good pizza! (Wink to the Bigboy pain perdu) They are happy to help you to choose your dish and also to make some substitution. Food is served promptly so it makes a great quick lunch. Prices are good and it takes only few minutes of wait to get a table for lunch

This place is seriously my favorite restaurant in Paris. The BEST pizza I have ever had in my life!!! AMAZING service. Amazing ambiance. Amazing food.

They still sat us even though we arrived 30 minutes late on accident. The food is really good, pizza is not pizza it is more of a soupy pie but still tasted delicious!

I'm a big lover of weekend breakfasts (not necessarily brunch) with friends and am always on the lookout for someplace great. This is one you should add to your list. No reservations, but get there early enough and you can stake out a spot or two for your group (in my case, 10 of us across a 6 top and a 4 top). The food is delicious, reasonably priced, and interesting.

This place got it all, friendly staff, unique cozy decor and the food is delicious. Highly recommend the benedict eggs and the pancakes with the strawberries. Wasn't impressed by the Ginger Rogers cocktail but the chai latte was very good. Service is very fast as well

Not sure what the hype is about. I came here at 5 pm on a weekday and the place was busy but I was seated immediately. The menu is incredibly limited but they have a breakfast menu that runs all day and a lunch specific menu. I ordered the avocado toast for 9€ without the prosciutto and a caffe latte for 4.5€. The avocado toast was tiny, maybe four bites worth. The avocado was more like a guac and it just wasn't very tasty. The coffee was huge and not well made, no latte art. Like come on, we are in the Marais. At least give me an easy heart. The breakfast menu had french toast, pancakes, and some egg dishes. There were also desserts available like their classic tiramisu and a huge chocolate cookie. Their lunch menu had pizza and pastas! I don't plan on coming back. Ob-La-Di two blocks away is much, much better.

After hearing that the Big Mamma group opened up a new place in the Marais I had to come check it out. This is a bit different than their East and Ober Mamma restaurants, in that the pizzas are gluten free, there are also gluten free pastas, and they have an all-day brunch menu. However, the restaurant has a really similar vibe to the others in that its cosy, beautifully decorated, the coffee machine is gorgeous, and the service is friendly. I came for brunch on a Saturday, around noon, and there was a line outside of maybe 15 people or so. It moved relatively quickly, and within 20 minutes we had a table. I ordered the pancakes and a caffe latte, and my brunch companion ordered the small portion of french toast and a cappuccino. I was pleased to see that there are many veggie items on the menu, so I could have chosen between a few different things. We didn't have to wait too long for food or coffee, which was nice given that they are new and it was super busy. My pancakes were really beautiful, and the french toast looked great too (although the small portion would have been a bit too small for me I think. Only one piece of brioche. the big comes with two). The pancakes have ricotta and blueberries, which is exciting, and I chose to have them with syrup (you could choose chocolate or caramel). They were good, but not the best pancakes I've had in Paris. The coffee was delicious and the latte comes in the biggest cup I've ever seen. All of the dishes (as in the plates and cups themselves) are also stunning- all patterned blue and white ceramic. It's a really nice touch. I will definitely come back here ASAP to try some of the other brunch dishes. We kept looking at what the tables around us ordered, and everything looked and smelled amazing.

Fantastic place! Where to begin? Lovely staff and people who try to give you the best atmosphere and experience possible. The restaurant itself is cosy and awesomely decorated. The food, especially the pizzas, is totally delicious. But the many appetizers and desserts are all splendid as well. Absolutely recommend this restaurant, and will be trying the other places of the owners when next in Paris!

YES, it's worth the wait....!! The food amazing, the service amazing and the experience was amazing ... haha I guess I would say this place is AMAZING!

I have found my new favourite Italian place on the planet Earth. My wife and I went to this restaurant and we were blown away every step of the way. We love the decor and everything about the restaurant as soon as we walked in. We were greeted by smiling faces in great service from the moment we walked in the restaurant. We sat down at the table and our way to explain to us what each dish was in a patient and clear manner. We ordered we saw fit for the evening and we were very impressed once we got the food. The plates were cleaned at the end and we were very satisfied with everything that this restaurants had to offer.

Read great reviews about this place so I decided to check it out. Absolutely delicious. Service was ok, of course experience would've been better had I understood what they were saying. Aside from that great ambiance and I would definitely come back and try the Benedict and avocado toast which also looked amazing.

The food was very good especially dessert. The service was friendly. We enjoyed the pizza and the pasta.

I've been to all the other big mama group restaurants and I'm afraid to say this one was a bit of a let down. I understand the focus is different, this place centered on gluten-free items and brunch, plus some pizze. I don't know about the pizza but the brunch was rather disappointing. The avocado toast had no flavor whatsoever. It was just mashed avocado plus some paprika powder and ham. I had to sprinkle salt to make it have some taste (and I normally don't even touch the salt shaker at restaurants). Pancakes were ok but very sweet. Eggs Benedict florentina was nothing to write home about. I liked the interior and china, and *some* staff are nice (our waitress, however, did a massive eye -roll when I had first ordered matcha latte and literally 3 seconds later switched to chai latte. Overall we didn't feel welcome by her..) but the food was just so-so. Plus, You're cramped against other customers so will hear every single bit of their conversation. And they don't take reservations so you have to show up early on a weekend. We trekked across town to get here and I don't think I would repeat the experience. Don't get me wrong: the food is ok, but for the hype it was a massive let down. there are much better brunch places in Paris

part of the chain Big Mamma Group, but feels more like a boutique restaurant. the food was absolutely delicious, best italian in paris!

Fantastic food, wonderful enthusiastic service and great ambiance. We ate brunch the first time we were there and lunch the second time. I will go back. TIP: Saunter by and make a reservation then go for an hour or two shopping or site seeing. Two women in front of us in the wait line went shopping on the same street. The second time we went we had time to go to Jacques Genin for chocolates. As we walked by Poplini - The best "choux à la crème" in Paris, I was wishing I had the time and appetite for some of their beautiful treats too.

No love from BigLove. My wife is allergic to wheat and so we decided to try this place out for brunch on a Saturday. We ordered assuming that everything would be gluten free as they seem to make a big deal about this. We checked after ordering to make sure though and were told that the gluten free only really applied to the pizzas which were being served for another couple of hours. They had a couple of dishes that didn't rely on bread but they didn't really appeal. We had ordered drinks and so decided to just have them and go. When we had just started drinking our coffees however we were approached by one of the wait staff who said that, as we weren't eating, we had to leave once we had finished our drinks and could we settle the bill immediately. Rather than stay where we were not really welcome, we just settled up and went somewhere that seemed to want our business. It's a shame as we had been looking forward to eating there and had heard good things. We won't be going back though.

Biglove Caffe encompasses Paris in its entirety. I eat here and then I follow it with the Little Red Door for cocktails. This restaurant is the quaint picturesque jewel that hopeless romantics propose in. And if you don't have someone to propose to then you will be swearing your undying love to their meals. Biglove caffe is a staple in Paris. If you haven't been then your belly hasn't lived.

This brunch experience was not what I expected. The rest of the bigmamma group restaurants are good, but this one completely disappointed me. Starting off with the flat white.... more like milk. It supposably had two shots of espresso, which was a fraud because it tasted like a glass of milk. Then I ordered the pancakes (bleh) the french toast was soggy and the truffles eggs were whatever. Very much disappointed. The service was not so great. Would never go back for breakfast nor brunch.

As a vegetarian this place was HEAVEN. I have never eaten such good pasta arabiatta. My partner is allergic to dairy and nuts, and I'm a vegetarian- the server was very aware of all of our dietary restrictions and very accommodating. I cannot emphasize how delicious the pasta was!

Absolutely awesome brunch spot. The staff were friendly and efficient, the ambience was relaxed and buzzy and the food was absolutely lovely. We had the avocado on toast, eggs with truffle and a banana cookie and everything was fresh and tasty. The coffee was really good, as were the cocktails. I can't recommend biglove highly enough
