Sormani

Very expensive, underwhelming lunch. Food was marginal with an average presentation. Bread and butter was sub-par (esp. for France). Short pour on wines by the glass. Service was basic and impersonal. room atmosphere felt sterile and had odd modern art bold ly depicting women. Altogether, a poor choice for our last meal in Paris. p.s. After reading the owner's response, we were shocked by their arrogant rudeness suggesting our standards are aligned with McDonald's!! I am trained in the culinary arts and have dined in many fine restaurants around the world. We are always happy to pay top dollar for quality food and service. This place was marginal at best, and their remarks are evidence of their unrefined character.

Spectacular food, splendid room. Wine list was a bit of a surprise with more great French wines than Italian ones. Service was good, just not great, as Italian restaurants typically provide more warmth and personal touches.

Excellent cuisine loved the meat and fish plates

Unfortunately, not sure if we felt underwhelmed because we had a 4 months old in our table of 7 or the atmosphere was artificial and impersonal. The pictures online are confusing as it feels there’s a view to the restaurant but there isn’t. The appetizers were fantastic, main course average with us covering all of the main options within our table. The Tiramisu was below average at best. This was a _subpar_ experience given the price we paid for it. Very happy for the personal touch that they offered a “free Tiramisu” to celebrate my daughter’s birthday! Given the price point there are 100s of other better restaurants in Paris like David Toutin!

Well, my expectations on amazing cuisine were as high as the price I was expecting to pay… and both were what I anticipated. Thoroughly delicious meals that were perfectly plated, and a price tag to match. Yes, you get what you pay for here. Staff are friendly, atmosphere is quaint, and you will leave with a full stomach and empty wallet.

The best place ever to eat! Every bite was a mixed of fabulousness An amazing experience of flavors and beauty.

Very friendly people there and a really comfortable place to eat and drink! Pasta is very delicious and it was finished pretty fast.

Might just be the best Italian meal I've had - from the mussels and mushrooms, to the steak, to the dessert. Magnificent.

One of my favorite restaurants near the Champs-Elysees. I make a point of visiting Sormani whenever I return to Paris. During a visit to Paris a couple of years ago I was determined to find a nice restaurant that wasn't a tourist trap. Sormani was a fantastic find and they were able to accommodate me with a table on short notice. The staff were clearly trained well and refined. The chefs are also highly skilled in choosing complementary ingredients for each dish, presenting them in an artful display, and making the meal incredibly delicious. This combined with the tasty wine, professional service, and beautiful decor make Sormani a must-visit restaurant.

I really wanted to be blown away by Le Sormani, but honestly, I was just disappointed at the end. We started with the amuse bouche which was pretty good, well layered--not the best amuse bouche in the world, but it was good. As for the dishes, I ordered the fish carpaccio/tartare. It came beautifully with edible flowers, specs of sauce, and radishes. It didn't come with any overpowering sauce and I liked how this dish really stood on its own as the raw ingredients. I do wish there was something more to tie the dish together, the radishes were a little offsetting, but overall, it was good. As for entrees, we ordered a linguine con vongole topped with mushrooms, the lobster and risotto, and one other dish I can't remember because I'm writing this a month too late. Honestly, linguine con vongole is one of my favorite dishes, but this really wasn't as great as I was expecting. The mushrooms really took away from the dish. As for the lobster and risotto, it was good, but I wasn't floored. The rice was well flavored, but anyone can make a risotto with saffron. I did like that it was a drier risotto as opposed to a heavy, creamy risotto. The lobster was alright, but after having the lobster pasta from L'Atelier a few nights previously, this lobster truly did not compare. Overall, they use high quality ingredients and they have good concepts. I was hoping to be blown away by this little charming, tucked away, Italian restaurant, but it fell a little flat.

Very interesting restaurant. Great Italian and very authentic. Don't miss the Bischeta woth Gniocci

Unsurpassed service and the food is unbelievably tasty. Wine card is very good with a large section of the best Italian wines. Location is great, very close to Arc de Triumph.

Spectacular! The chef was attentive and the food was terrific! You will not be disappointed.
