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.

Just finshed dinner at Le Stresa! AWFUL! Why? Arrogant waiter who had little patience with our group We felt rushed to order. Rude attitude. The food was mediocre! They made zero effort. I mean ZERO! We saw the same dish that looked better on another table. The penne pasta was below average. I ordered mixed fruit for dessert. The man next to me had the same but they added icecream on top. Extremely disappointing! Especially after a friend told me she had heard it was such a great restaurant. What a joke! Actually really mad about the lousy experience on every level! It seems like a lively place at lunch. It seems to hold some special place maybe for locals all looking at each other to see who is coming in. We should have gone to Anna’s or Shirvan around the corner where they knock themselves out to serve you and the food is delicious.

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..

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 :)

Food was great but very pricy…but that’s ok. It’s your choice to go there. Unfortunately on the handwritten check, the prices for wine and water were incorrect. This was on purpose and after noting no excuse from the owner. It’s a bad example for gastronomy

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!

It was a nice day we were going to le stresa we made reservation out and they didn’t let us we wanted to leave then we changed our minds to eat inside. Then they didn’t let us either way such rude staff and managers what is this never coming back again😡🤬!!!!

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

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.
