Amalfi

Posted in France, Italian, Paris, Restaurants on February 29, 2008 by entzik

Amalfi is an excellent pizza / pasta restaurant located at 142 bd Berhier in the 17th arrondissement in Paris. It’s managed by Rosario and Pepe, genuine Italians from the Amalfi coast, near Naples. Sometimes, Mario is coming over from Italy to give them a hand. Entering this restaurant it’s like being beamed over to Naples: an authentic Italian experience.

The only problem with Rosario’s place is that once you had a pizza there, you’re not going to like it anywhere else any more. The quality is great and prices are cheap.

The menu is quite complete: you can choose among a range of traditional pizza, pasta, meat dishes and salads. My favourite dishes are the pizza quatro stagione, penne all’amatriciana, the amalfi sallad and the lasagna.

Rosario also has a nice reserve of fine Italian wines at affordable prices. And their limoncello goes well with the coffee.

Well, you must have guessed, I totally recommend the Amalfi restaurant. I’m going there for lunch for more than 5 years on a regular basis and I’ve never been disappointed.
