A Parisian institution gets a new look! Le Grand Venise, a historic restaurant founded in 1920, has moved to Boulevard de La Tour-Maubourg in Paris’s 7th arrondissement. With a new terrace facing Les Invalides and a menu with lower prices, the restaurant is enjoying a new lease on life without forgetting its classics.

Fans of Italian cuisine in Paris may already know its name! After more than a century of history, Le Grand Venise is leaving its historic address in the 15th arrondissement and moving to 74 boulevard de La Tour-Maubourg in the 7th arrondissement, just steps from Les Invalides. It’s a new chapter for this family-run restaurant, founded in 1920, which is bringing back its Italian specialties in a completely redesigned setting, complete with a large terrace offering views of the dome of Les Invalides.

Inside, the sea-green tones, walnut furniture and set tables create an elegant setting without losing the warm spirit of an Italian home. In the kitchen, it is now Luca Famiglietti, originally from Puglia and formerly of Le Conti restaurant, among others, who is at the helm. His idea? Take diners on a journey through the different regions of Italy, with traditional recipes, quality ingredients and generous portions.

Good news for regulars: the classics that made the restaurant’s reputation are still on the menu! Among them are the famous Grand Venise chichinettes, an assortment of antipasti featuring marinated vegetables, tomatoes, anchovies and eggplant. Another Maison favorite, the tagliatelle with three sauces, combining tomato, Bolognese and mushroom sauces, continues to delight pasta lovers.

The menu also gives pride of place to Italian specialties, including linguine cacio e pepe, spaghetti alla Nerano with zucchini and Parmesan, vitello tonnato, a Milanese cutlet and crispy pinsas. There’s plenty to choose from among the Roman specialties, the flavors of Piedmont and recipes from southern Italy.

To finish, the desserts also stick to tradition. Tiramisu is joined by the must-try Grand Venise caramel ice cream, a specialty that has been part of the Maison’s story for several generations.

And in the glass? Fans of Italian wines can explore a selection of bottles from Sicily, Tuscany, Puglia and Veneto. Italy’s signature cocktails are also on the menu, including Spritz, Bellini, Negroni and Americano Sour, best enjoyed as an aperitif on the terrace.

Another notable change in this new version of Grand Venise: lower prices. The aim is to make this institution accessible to more food lovers, whether for lunch with colleagues, a romantic dinner or a family meal!
