A disappointing dining experience in Paris
My visit to this restaurant was a true letdown. I ordered the classic Italian carbonara (they offered a Parisian version with cream, which I specifically avoided), expecting the traditional recipe. Instead, I received a plate of soggy, un-drained pasta, swimming in plain water. There was no egg, no parmesan, and definitely no guanciale – just a piece of lightly cooked smoked pork loin thrown on top, finished with a random parsley leaf.
When I politely raised my concerns with the waiter, he smugly insisted that “this is how carbonara is made” and laughed at me, as if I was clueless. I found his tone and attitude incredibly disrespectful.
A woman I believe was the manager stormed over to the table visibly irritated. However, as soon as she reached us, she changed her tone and facial expression, and handled the situation politely. I explained the issue again, and she offered to bring me another dish. I chose a margherita pizza, which arrived half-burnt and equally tasteless. I genuinely think frozen supermarket pizza would have been better.
From the poorly made food to the lack of professionalism and basic courtesy, the whole experience was a major disappointment.
I absolutely do NOT recommend this place.
