Armani Ristorante

“A wonderful dining experience at Armani/Ristorante Paris — refined cuisine, stylish ambiance, and flawless service. Would definitely return.”

“5+S ***** Why this place has only one Michelin Star, I can only imagine it's because it is fairly and the Michelin crew prioritizes sunk cost falicy over genuinely great food. The slighting aside, this place is a must if you have the budget. They not only offer table side Olive Oil, which is a delicious addition to most all their dishes, but great God in heaven, they offer table side flaky Salt! I can hardly describe how fantastically delicious it was to have the option to experiment and with different topping amounts on their dishes. Eating should be a dance, and getting to freestyle every now and then is essential to an exceptional party. Each dish was expertly done on all categories of wow factor, and I could help grooving in my chair from each new bite. They do nickel and dime you a little bit with offering water and after dinner treats that added an extra 20 dollars, which would have been nice if that was made know before hand, but an excellent show regardless. Bravo!”

“How this restaurant has only one Michelin star I don’t know… Fantastic food in an elegant and inviting interior. The dining experience is quite intimate, with only a few groups in the restaurant at a time which made for a very calm and pleasant dinner. Very chic décor and lighting, in typical Armani style. Would definitely visit again.”

“#51 Follow my Michelin Marathon in Paris An Italian Star in Paris The great thing here is that it’s Italian! No kidding. One of the very few Italian with a star in Paris. Le Georges is also an Italian chef, marketed as an Italian, but this one is more Italian to me. So if you want to eat pasta with the excuse it’s Pasta but in an Etoile, you know where to go! I insist, it’s not the only Italian restaurant in Paris, but it’s one of the very few with a star. The other particular thing is that you’re in the Armani store! At the first floor to be precise (not to be confused with the brasserie next door downstairs), where there are only a few tables. We went twice. Once before the star, once after. I kind of guessed it could get one, but to be honest, i also thought that the high end Italian category is not an easy category to compete in. So I was happy from them because It was deserved. We actually went for Christmas there. My experience: I loved the experience, we spent a great time in each occasion. If I’m in a mood for an Italian this would be my go to place. Mood and dress code: you’re in an Armani store, I guess I don’t have to give guidance for this one! Update 2022: went back after more than a year. I found it more refined and more balanced. Of course you’ll have strong flavors but I think I appreciated more this time. So it’s a solid Italian one star. But not the only Italian in town anymore”

“Great service, very attentive and efficient. The venue was elegant and simple at the same time. Cozy seating. The surprise course menu was good, very nice presentations but some dishes were better than others. Wine selection by the glass was good as well. Decent prices. Overall, a good option for an upscale Italian dinner.”
