Eataly in Le Marais, Paris!
The area of Marais will forever hold a special place in my heart after having the most wonderful stay. Funny enough, the first thing we have for dinner in Paris wasn't French food, it was Italian... and it did not disappoint! Eataly is an Italian marketplace where you can find restaurants and Italian goods such as pastas, breads, pasta makers, wine, etc. There are locations across the globe and we decided to eat here after passing by, drained from a long day of traveling and exploring.
We ate at the upstairs restaurant that had pizza & pasta. We shared the cacio pepe e tartufo pizza, margherita originale di eataly con bufala pizza, and large mezzo pacchero al ragu di pesce pasta along with a bottle of red wine. Every single thing was delicious and admittedly better than most of the food I had in Italy earlier this year. All of this was more than enough for 4 people to share. The pizzas were advertised as personal pizza but were sharable for two people. My favorite of the two was definitely the cacio pepe e tartufo because it was my first time seeing it in pizza form, plus I love that combo! Now, don't even get me started on the pasta. It was the best seafood, red sauce pasta I've ever had! I'll probably be searching far and wide for something that tastes like it.
The rest of the marketplace was huge and looked like a cute spot to hangout. You can shop around and there was a nice area in the center where you can grab a glass (or bottle) of wine and some food. I could see locals and tourists both coming here to grab a bite or grab some goods.
