Restaurant Passerini

Great quality Italian food, cooked to order by a serious staff in an open kitchen. Friendly service in a casual setting. We enjoyed the lunch so much that we went back for dinner a few days later. Recommended wine by the glass was very good. It’s best to make a reservation a few days ahead.

Passerini is a phenomenal spot and one of the best Italian restaurants outside of Italy that I’ve visited in a while. It offers a modern and quirky take on traditional Italian dishes without trying too hard. The atmosphere was spectacular, the service was attentive, wine options were truly impressive, and tagliatelle with morels and peas were to die for. I’ll definitely come back during my next trip to Paris.

The best quality value Italian restaurant in Paris. The setting is casual but the food is refined and absolutely delicious. Better than many star restaurants. For lunch starting at €34 for a starter with a pasta or €37 with a meat. The menu is always interesting. Not the run of the mill. Like this crudo with a refreshing shallots sauce. The flavor of the spinach, sage and ricotta ravioli is absolutely delicious. Not to mention the best tripe allá romana. Another starter of grilled mackerel with anchovies was wonderful. The whole flattened grilled quail was one of the best we tasted. If you like pigeons, the menu at lunch time of €55 includes a starter of your choice such as the grilled mackerel, a sumptuous pasta with olives and pigeon parts, fresh radicchio salad ,fennel gratinee, and the most tender and delicious roasted pigeon.

We had a good experience. The food was great. One of our orders was not to our liking, we returned it and asked for another. The restaurant management accepted the return without charging us for it. A rare service in Paris. Highly recommend this restaurant, just make sure you know what you are ordering.

An Unexpected Culinary Gem in Paris During our first visit to Paris, my friend and I had the pleasure of dining at Passerini, and what a delightful surprise it was! Recommended by my boss, a native of Rome, we walked in just before the end of lunch service, unsure of what to expect. Despite the late hour, the warmth and hospitality of the staff immediately put us at ease. The lady at the front welcomed us with a genuine smile and ensured we felt right at home. Now, let's talk about the food – it was simply divine. We started with the Roman tripe, a dish that transported us to the heart of Italy with its rich flavors and comforting aroma. The carpaccio of oranges was a revelation – who knew oranges could be so savory and delicious? It was a refreshing and unique dish that left us craving for more. For our mains, we indulged in the Ravioli and Bigoli, both expertly prepared and bursting with flavor. Each bite was a symphony of tastes and textures, a testament to the culinary mastery of the chef. Despite them closing at 2:30 p.m. for lunch service, we were still offered to order dessert and coffee, a gesture that truly exemplified the restaurant's commitment to exceptional service. Overall, our experience at Passerini was nothing short of exceptional. From the warm welcome to the exquisite food, every aspect exceeded our expectations. It's safe to say that this was one of the best meals we've had in Paris, and we can't wait to return for another unforgettable dining experience. If you find yourself in Paris, do yourself a favor and pay a visit to Passerini. You won't be disappointed. Bon appétit!

Very overpriced food, small portions, not satisfying at all. In terms of taste, all the dishes were very very average for a casual fine restaurant except for the mallard. I had high expectations but they unfortunately were not met by this restaurant. Bill came out to be a whopping 100€+ but I left feeling hungrier than I was before.

Every dish was subtle, perfectly seasoned. The fresh pastas are incredible. Huge wine selection. Friendly staff, loved the open kitchen and being able to interact with the Chef and his team. Grazie mile !

I loved this place. Food and service were lovely. The portion seems small to some people but in fact you are paying for quality, the portion is the right size.
