Le Stresa

Delicious pasta al dente; as per the ambiance, I felt like I was inside a family-owned trattoria in Italy - just with much higher prices. However they are in the 8th arrondissement in Paris close to Avenue Montaigne, so it is consistent. The fact that the clientele were mainly Italians is reassuring for the authenticity and quality of their food.

My Favorite Italian Restaurant in Paris! The food is authentic and delicious, the ambiance is warm and elegant, and the service is always impeccable. Every visit is a perfect experience—can't recommend it enough :)

I recently dined at an Italian restaurant and would rate it 4 stars. The ambiance was charming, and the service was attentive. The menu offered a variety of delicious pasta dishes, and the flavors were authentic..

Probably the best Italian restaurant in the golden triangle! Food is yummy, friendly staff very welcoming! They re still haters leaving bad reviews… don t be fooled. Living in the neighbourhood, haven’t been disappointed yet! Yes it is pricey… but definitely worth it!

We just had a dinner at Le Stresa. I have to say that the food is good, I have nothing negative to say about the taste and the quality of the food. My only negative point is the accueil. The old men working there is very cold and they are only friendly to the customers that they know from before…. You see a big big différence is how they are talking to the people. My son 10 years ordered the spaghetti with a little bit of truffles on it and they charge you 60€ just for the truffles and than you pay for the pasta. I would go back and I do recommend but you have to count 300€ for 2 without alcohol.

Highest quality Italian food in an elegant and charming atmosphere. Service is excellent. Le Stresa is a landmark!

The food is well done, good but nothing special. I would expect more attention to guests and their dining experience. New clientele will suffer as the place not interested to welcome new clients . It’s a canteen for a close circle of people they know otherwise You are out of the scene . I wish the staff be more classy and passionate! Love will save the world !

We came to Le Stresa to have a light lunch and have ordered 3 starters to share: pizza, pasta and Parma Ham. We also had 1 glass of champagne each. We’ve been asked if we want some truffles shaved on top of our pasta which we agreed to have. Of course we knew it would be for some extra charge but we would never have even imagined that a few tiny shavings on top of our pasta (and I do mean just a couple of slices) would cost us extra €165 on top of our actual bill which was already high!!! The hand written bill has stated we had 11 grams of truffles which is strangely enough no one has even weighed! The food was very average and pasta tasted so much like kids version of Mac and Cheese! So overall bill was eye watering €317!!! For 3 starters and 2 glasses of champagne! They have also taken a plate with unfinished Parma ham (which btw costs over €30 for a couple of slices) away without even asking if we are done with it (which we were not!) I went to a few Michelin Star restaurants, I ate dishes with truffles before but this bill was truly shocking to us! When I nicely asked how do we actually know that you’ve given us 11 grams of truffles the staff member just shrugged and said that’s what it is. They’ve arrogantly ignored our comments and left us with no real explanation. For that price that we paid for lunch we weren’t even offered something simple like bread, only a packaged grissini was brought! I hope no one else will make the same mistake.

One of the best meals we had while in Paris. They were booked solid two weeks in advance, but they let us come for a 9:30 sitting two days after I called. Excellent pasta, tiramisu, and an extra five stars for ambience. Couldn't have been nicer.

I was in Paris for fashion week and had dinner at this authentic Italian restaurant. The restaurant is tiny but the food is delicious. We ordered the eggplant Parmesan & carpaccio for appetizers and had penne arabiata & veal Milanese for main course. Everything was delicious.

Below average, not to be recommend at all. Paris is full of good Italian restaurant, this is defiantly not one of them. Staff are friendly but unfortunately the food taste is not acceptable.

Tres chic! This restaurant is so lovely. Intimate but with the most 'in' crowd. The food is fantastic, the vibe personal and the crowd worth watching. We came here for dinner in Paris and I loved everything. We shared a few things to start: the proscuitto with melon, the bresaola, and the mini pizza. Everything was fantastic. The pizza was paper thin with the best tomato and mozzarella. The cantaloupe was so ripe. It was the best melon I've ever had. The Bresaola was incredible, especially when we had them top it with parmesan and arugula. For our mains we got three pastas. I had the linguine astice (lobster pasta), we also got the eggplant penne and the arrabiata. The best was the arrabiata with spaghetti! It was so divine. The tiramisu looked incredible but we didn't order it. I will absolutely try it next time! If you want an interesting crowd come around 9:30 or 10!

Upscale classic Italian w/ a contemporary twist - it's a decent spot if you have plans on or right near Champs Elysees, but they're not serving the best Italian in Paris. Also they're expensive and I believe they're closed on Sat & Sun. Other than that, they were nice and the service was fine.
