Gault&Millau's review2026
Here we find a warm, nicely decorated neighborhood Italian address. The atmosphere is carried by a clientele of regulars looking for a bit of Sicilian cuisine in the 16ᵉ arrondissement. The menu follows Giuseppe Messina's family recipes, mixing antipasti, small pizzettes, generous pastas, meat or fish dishes, always built around quality terroir. Papa Salvatore's fennel-flavored sausage and Mamma Lina's orange cake confirm this homemade, comforting approach. The wine selection, focused on Italy, is in the same spirit.
