Lovers of Italian food go to Pasticcio, a restaurant located in the 11th arrondissement of Paris, offering pizzas and dishes cooked like over there. A real taste of Italy in the plate of which one should not be deprived!

The flavors ofItaly without leaving Paris... This is what Pasticcio offers, a restaurant located in the 11th district of the capital, near Parmentier (you have an address in the 18th district too, if not...) proposing all that Italy does best, with tasty pizzas,"Al forno" dishes, desserts just as succulent, as well as a cocktail menu, certainly classic, but typical of restaurants in Dante's country!

Pasticcio is above all a cuisine like in Italy, with speck in the pizzas, REAL Spritz with bitter or Bellini in the cocktails... Things that are not very common in Paris, except if you know where to look. On the menu, a whole selection of pizzas to make you salivate with envy, like the classic margharita, marinara, napoletana, capricciosa and other calzone. For a more upscale pizza, you can also opt for the Tartufina della Casa, made with mascarpone, fior di latte, scamorza, mushrooms and truffle cream, or the Pasticcio Vero, made with mascarpone, fior di latte, speck, mushrooms, truffle cream, burrata and arugula.

Prefer a pasta dish (or something other than pizza)? The restaurant also offers a variety of "al forno" (baked) dishes, with tasty lasagna (the recipe of the nonna - the grandmother in French -, no less!), eggplant alla Parmigiana or the penne gratin with truffle cream. Note that a daily specials menu is also available, including a few more pasta dishes.

And if not, tartar, carpaccio, salad and other antipasti are also available, for a good starter or something lighter. The best for last? Dessert, of course, with a choice of pizza nocciolata, tiramisu, panna cotta or ice creams with flavors straight from Italy: hazelnuts from Rome, lemon from Sicily, pistachio or strawberry Sengana.

A menu that the editors were able to try and particularly appreciated. As a starter, a plate of artichoke/mozzarella fritters, for a nice appetizer. The fritters were melting and particularly good. We then let ourselves be tempted by a Capricciosa pizza, as well as a Mortadella pizza. Two pizzas as tasty as each other, with a light dough. And for dessert, a nice scoop of hazelnut ice cream from Rome, as well as a homemade tiramisu, to finish on a sweet note, but not too much. A beautiful cuisine in the purest Italian tradition that we highly recommend, for all lovers of Italy!

You will have understood, Pasticcio, it is a true corner of paradise for all the lovers of Italian cooking... You just have to go there, friends!
