Marco Polo

Yikes normally I hate giving bad reviews but this one deserves it. As we walked by the Micheline star, I was intrigued. We came back after they opened and got the first available spot or so we thought. Stuck in a corner. The people next to us were offered fans to cool themselves we were offered none. The last straw was a piece of bread that had a bite taken out. Yikes. There is no AC so might want to not come on a hot summer day. And another side note, a chip in the glass. Common now. No love for these Americans.

Aman was amazing in making sure our every need was met without hovering. The sea bass and even the sides dishes were nothing short of perfection. Spinach can be tricky and this side was perfectly cooked and perfectly seasoned. The Panama cotta was
To die for and the lemon tart was a close runner up. We will be back. And we will sit in Aman's station no matter how long we have to wait. This was one of the best meals we have had in Paris.

Very good , so much so we went twice during our stay . Good wine reasonably priced. All food was terrific and we had apps too ! Go you'll like it !

I'm updating my prior review from the summer.

I will start this review by stating that I had been looking forward to returning here ever since our prior visit. I dreamed of the wonderful homemade pastas, panna cotta and fabulous service - but things were NOT the same this time. Sadly, immediately on arrival, I could tell things had changed. We were rushed and told they needed the table within an hour of our arrival. Despite that, we never saw anyone turned away due to us sitting at the same table. Also, one of the waiters continued to speak under his breath every time he came near our table and we just did not feel welcome this time (despite attempting to speak our little bit of French). The food is really good, but the atmosphere was just not the same. Also, the panna cotta which was once bliss in a bite, was just a basic dessert on this visit.

Marco Polo service was really bad. I was scolded by the wait staff for just ordering desserts and drinks. I don't eat meat so the menu was not inclusive.

They have a large seating area in the back great for large groups. Service was good. Portions are large. Food quality was so-so. The fries were great, and the salads were fresh. I would skip the chicken.

Stumbled upon this restaurant after walking the Seine.

We were seated immediately and menus were brought out promptly. We ordered a bottle of prosecco, gnocchi, and a fettuccine style pasta. The gnocchi was amazing!

We had excellent service until the end and had to wait forever to pay our check. This was a really nice restaurant!

Best Italian restaurant in Paris .
We had lunch yesterday and were seated immediately. The service is excellent , the waitress was marking sure to add bread when the plate was empty.
We ordered pasta with clams and tagliatelle with fresh cream and they were both delicious and so light . As for the dessert, we had the best tiramisu ever . We will be back soon .

I live in the neighborhood so I have walked by this place about a million times but I tried it for the first time last night and boy have I been missing out.

I think good service and good Italian food are both hard to find in Paris. I found both right here so Marco Polo will officially be my go to place for my Italian fix.

They have your classic dishes starting at 16€ and specialty pastas and meat dishes for about 23€. They have three sizes for wine, glass, 45, or 75. The service is super warm and consistent. We made a reservation for 7:15 pm but it didn't get busy until 8:30 or so.

They first bring you breadsticks in a prepackaged packet which makes you think, "wtf?" But if you wait enough, they bring you fresh bread! The bread was delicious so much so that my boyfriend could not get enough of the focaccia!

In addition to their menu, they have daily specials. We tried their classic veal and I tried the special pasta of the day which was farfalle in a mushroom, shrimp, and tomato sauce. Delicious. For dessert, we got their famous red fruit pana cotta which was out of this world!!

Our meal for two came out to 77€ with a small bottle of wine. The ambiance is lovely and I usually hate sitting outdoors but we purposefully chose to sit outside to enjoy the beautiful Odeon chaos. They also have a vote service if needed. Located a few meters away from the Odeon metro, this place is a must if you're craving delicious Italian food and good service!

P.S. They speak English, French, and Italian here!!

The service started out a little bumpy however as our dinner and evening progressed, I'd say 4 star if accurate. If our welcome and service started out better, I'd have a 5.
