incredible old-fashioned pizzeria with generous cuisine offered by the mamma. we love everything from the antipasti to the pasta to the wine selection. located 3 steps from Châtelet Les Halles

We went to Presto Fresco as we were craving pizza in Paris. If you are looking for an Italian restaurant in the city, this is a safe choice. The highlight of this place for me is the freshness in every ingredient, and the fact that they import the real deals directly from Italy. The pasta is fresh and home made. The environment is a mix of Italian feel, with the dry tomatoes hanging, and modern and cool paintings on the wall. At the entrance you get a glance of the freshly done ravioli and starters. That's where you recognize you're in the right place. We asked for: 🍕 Pizza Diavola (yummi spicy salami and extra soft crusts, as I love it) 🍕 Pizza Prosciutto (for mom and dad 🤞 didn't try, but the feedback was great) 🍝 Tagliatelle Carbonara (Alla panna) - my dish! The dishes have an influence from south italy, so don't be surprised by some twists or particularities. I personally don't adore cream on my carbonara, but I must say that this was a special one. The mix between the pasta perfectly al dente, the crunchiness and saltiness from the guanciale and the soft cream and pecorino was a perfect balance. The price/quality is also great. And the location, for me, is very close to one of the neighbourhoods I most like in Paris. The service is fast. We went for lunch and we didn't have problems with a place to seat. But if have the opportunity you should try to book a table in advance. I would love to have the opportunity to try some more dishes! Maybe next time 🤞

One of the best Italian restaurants I’ve ever been to throughout my life. The food is delicious, and the service is outstanding - I really loved how receptive and supportive they are, speaking several languages just to make sure that we feel at ease. A great experience amid a lot of French restaurants where they don’t care about you at all.

We ordered two pastas and they were both cold. Especially Carbonara was extremely cold and I couldn’t eat. You can see the situation in the photo. What’s more, the pasta was not even a real Carbonara.

Craving Italian so found this place on google maps and took an Uber directly. Ordered the beef ravioli and the carbonara to share. Loved the beef ravioli! I still crave it from time to time. Would definitely visit again when back in Paris.

Food is just ok. Service is acceptable with the waitress. Until the moment of checking bill, there are several workers 3~4 people who work in the kitchen sitting just around our table waiting for us to leave the table for at least 5 minutes. That feeling is very strange cause you feel like you are under surveillance. Once we stood up, they started cleaning and tidying up the table. One of them put his back pack just next to me. There is a waiter told his colleagues that they were rude and very unrespectful. He was saying my feelings. The lady in charge doesn't seem responsive to attitudes of her staffs. Anyway, I'm not going back. It was outrageous.

Delicious pasta and burrata! The atmosphere and restaurant is really vibey and cosy. I would definitely come back! I recommend this place to family and friends. The staff were also very kind!

The starters this last time were not the quality I remember but the main dishes were good. I had the carbonara and it wasn’t ideal, it’s difficult to get right but still enjoyable.

We got a burrata plate to split, and it was delicious! A very generous portion of burrata. I do wish they had provided some more tomatoes, arugula, and baguette to compliment it. That’s the only reason I took off one star. Service was lovely, and the place is nicely lit and bustling. Hope to come back and try their other dishes!

A very unique Italian place In the heart of Paris. Food wise : the pasta were delicious, it tasted very genuine, with fresh and quality ingredients. Design : the place has lots of details and this is very nice to have a view on them all. I’ve enjoyed the second floor with the view on the building and the church that clearly was beautiful. Service wise : because that’s a now famous restaurant thanks to social media (good thing), service can be a bit slow, and during heatwave, you actually need your water (or liquids lol). Overall it’s a good experience and I recommend it !

The best pizza I have eaten in Paris. The service is fast and the stuff is is very friendly. The restaurant is easy to find. I recommend it to everyone

Delicious Italian food with great atmosphere. We sat outside and ordered the burrata to start and the two mushroom pasta dishes, and everything was incredible. This was the first time I had rigatelli pasta, and I think I've found a new favorite. I'd say more, but I think I'll let the photos speak for me.

The atmosphere is lovely and does well at creating an italian vibe. The service is insanely fast which would normally go at the cost of quality of food but this was not the case. The food is absolutely amazing! The dough of the pizza is soft and flavorful, like Neapolitan pizza should be. Overall definitely a great italian restaurant.

The decoration is remarkable but the poor service (the waiter and waitress ask the customers without saying PLEASE). And the food, pizza is cooked so quickly, but salt.

We are happy with our food, it was delicious. The managers ara really confident with their restaurant, wine and food in general and it reflects the reality.

Really good Italian. The pizza crust was so light that I could almost finish all by myself. The raviori with fig was so good as well. Definitely visit this resto again!

We found this place by chance , saw all the people cueing during lunch and check out the reviews. When we tried the food I could not believe the freshness and simplicity of it all. Each dish had its own unique flavors - we ordered 2 different mushroom base pastas and they had completely diffrent tastes. The buratta starter was also very delicious.

Such a great dinner place!! Beautiful restaurant with a vibrant atmosphere and delicious food! Amazing pasta and pizza, and a fun decor and vibe! Went with an Italian friend, who approved the food (always a good sign). Service was super friendly. We went on a Monday evening so not busy, but probably a good idea to reserve beforehand - especially when going with a group. Reservation online was super simple!

🍕 Went for the burrata pizza and it did not disappoint. The crust was just how I like it and pretty much ate the whole damn thing! Shared the tiramisu for dessert and thankfully because it was not my favorite... I've had my fair share of tiramisu and was not a fan of this version. 🧑🏻‍🍳 Our waitress was the best. Super friendly and very accommodating. My friend wasn't sure if she'd like the cream in one of the desserts so she brought her a sample to try before ordering (which she didn't like so she was thankful she could try it before wasting food and money!) Also most of the staff seems to be Italian 🇮🇹 📖 Plenty of choices on the menu, definitely something for everyone! 🪑 Super cosy atmosphere and love the decor, almost felt like we were in Italy. 💰 Good value for money. ⏳ Would definitely book ahead of time to get a spot because it gets busy real fast! ❤️ 100% would go there again for that pizza!

We have been there at January , the atmosphere was amazing with the chef came out from the kitchen and singing with us. The stuff was very friendly and the food was DELICIOUS !

I had one of the best pizza and pasta here. It was so fresh. This place meets above expectations. It’s owned by an Italy family since 1855 and the food is up to the mark.

This is the spot 👍🏻👍🏻 If you get a table upstairs, peep the wall honoring the world's greatest including Goku, Ned Flanders, Bulma, and Majin Buu. The olive, onion, cornichons app though 😅 (its 🔥👀)

Very good Italian food and customer service. My friend didn't enjoy the pizza she ordered, due to language misunderstanding, The manager came out and help switch put her pizza. Great experience and very friendly to tourist that speak only English.

Delicious Italian food! Everything on the menu is delicious. You can't leave without trying the tiramisu (pistachio is my personal favourite)

This place is perfect for a quick lunch. The service is really friendly, the food is served fast and it is fresh. I tried the pizza and really enjoyed it. Especially the pizza bread. When I went for the second time I had pasta and it was really good too. The portions were always on point and price wise it is very fair.

Presto Fresco is always a safe choice. If you're looking for an amazing price-quality and delicious pasta and pizza in the centre of Paris, this is the place to go! Also, the decor inside is truly beautiful! PS: it can get pretty busy, so try to book a table online if you can

I would have put 4 but the pizza was too cooked, the bottom was burnt, the dough too dry and the roquette salad usually goes on top of the bresaola and not underneath, it gives it a weird strong taste. Because the dough was burnt & dry we had a hard time cutting it. I just eat the toppings for half of it.... another customer did the same thing. The carpaccio was really good and of a big size, the tiramisu was ok, it lacked a little more taste to it. Their bread basket is cool, it’s like a light cheese pizza. The staff was welcoming and nice. However the waiter took one coffee out of the bill for the burnt pizzas, I would’ve offered the desserts instead. The price of one coffee is nothing. Too bad, it had such good reviews that I was expecting a great meal from start to finish. Should’ve ordered the pasta, might have been better.

Absolute lovely people working here, which is a great start. This is a real Italian restaurant and you can taste high quality ingredients. Pizzas are delicious! Can’t wait to come back

The pizzas are fantastic, very authentic taste. The pasta however, tasted good but it was a little dry, with the noodles stuck together

Excellent lunch - burrata with truffle as a starter and a salmon pizza for main meal. Best pizza I have had - the dough is amazing. Made up for so-so dinner we had in 2021 - I think that evening was just too busy. Prefer to lunch there

Delicious!!! The place was packed at lunch time but with good reason. The pizza crust was perfect and the tomato sauce was super fresh! Well priced as well!
