😐 Granted, setting and mood are nice. Staff is, for the most part, friendly’ish. Food was average, in other words, rather disappointing. I tried all dishes but I had the pizza, it was lukewarm, chewy and could barely hold together towards the center as it was so moist. I wouldn’t go again but that’s... People often mention pizza, truffle, restaurant, great, good, reservation, service, pasta, nice, Paris,

You could give it a shot if you’re willing to settle though.

    The most amazing pizza in Paris! This place is a must if you love the Neapolitan style. I highly recommend making a reservation to avoid waiting in the line. The pizzas and pastas were equally great. I highly recommend trying the tiramisu. Cocktails and the orange juice were average. You could avoid that.

    Came for lunch, and it was fantastic! Pizzas are huge and delicious. They have spicy olive oil too! Loved the shock artichokes to start. Excellent, friendly service. Great cocktails. Highly recommend.

    Food is good as usual and prices have remained quite low if you take into account the decoration and general vibes of the restaurant. What I deploy is its large success which has made of Popolare a sort of “attraction”. Everything goes fast, you share tables and do not really have the opportunity to have an intimate diner. This being said it is a great place for friends to have diner and a nice time.

    Just don't come when you're hungry. Very good truffle pasta and focaccia. The truffle pizza was too cheese-dominant that you barely taste the truffle. One thing to note was that the service could have been better as we waited 30 mins to be seated (and we made reservation at 13:15), 10 mins to get staff's attention to order, almost half an hour for the food to arrive, another half an hour for one of the desserts. Just when I thought they forgot the tiramisu and we're gonna ask for the bill, it's there. It's as if they're understaffed. I wish they got a QR for payment too. We left the restaurant at almost 15:00. So much for "taking my time" over a meal.

    My go to place in Paris for Italian … this is one out of 6 establishments under the big mama group in Paris. The pizzas are fantastic! Dough is soft and porous enough to have a whole serving to yourself. I love the truffle pasta. Cooked just enough to maintain the springy texture soaking into a lovely cream, mushroom and truffle sauce in your personal pan. Tip : book well in advance As queues often form in all the 6 restaurants. Use the booking machine and they will give the availability of all restaurants in one snap shot

    The food, staff, and atmosphere are outstanding! This place is a must visit on the city and transports you straight to Napoli. Reserve a table immediately! If you show up without a reservation you’ll regret it by standing in a long line and being told to come back in two hours. The truffle pasta, spaghetti, and pizza are all out of this world! All to die for.

    This place is DOPE! Definitely a must go if you’re in Paris. Be sure to make a reservation (totally worth it). Service is great, everyone is really nice and accommodating. The Mafaldine with truffle is probably the best pasta I’ve ever had. 10/10!!

    Very popular, very busy. Tables are super tiny and so close to one another so it was kind of uncomfortable when there are strangers sitting next to you. They have 2 sitting sessions so if you’re in for the first one, you have to be out at around 8.15pm. That’s why I feel like the service was a bit rush. All in all it wasn’t bad, the food was okay, the restaurant design was different and funky like all other in the Bigmama group.

    First impression, what a nice restaurant. The staffs are friendly and kind. We order a white lotus pizza and a truffle pasta. The taste is wow. Usually I prefer some places that are less crowded but the taste and the price is worth it. Recommend!!!

    One of the best pizzas I have ever eaten. Also, the ambiance is great at the restaurant. The reservation is necessary and recommended but you sit at shared standard or high-bar tables together with the others. For the long jackets in winter time, if you sit on shared-bar tables, the jackets touch to the ground and become dusty, so be careful.

    Famous place to eat pizza - probably because of its interesting design. The menu isn’t so varied - there are only a few types of pizza, but the food is tasty. It is very possible that you have to share the table with other guests and for your safety- make a reservation ! Prices are not very small but the location is central and this might be the reason!

    The restaurant has great vibes and beautiful decorations. The pizzas are awesome and I recommend them. The only downside is the restroom with a window between male and female sections, which might make guests uncomfortable. It's better to book ahead to avoid waiting in line for a long time.

    This is a very nice place. It’s better to book or you’ll probably have to wait a big cue. We ordered carpaccio and it was enormous and delicious. I’ve tried almost every pizza and they’re great. The profiterol for dessert can be shared. You can scan the qr at the table and pay at the end of your meal so it’s very easy to pay only what you ate if you’re with a large group

    Good vibe with lots of choices for food and beverages. Main dishes average 15€. Even I was dining alone, the bartenders made me feel welcomed. Most of the staff are Italians so I guess that explains the friendliness. Would come back again.

    By far one of the best places in Paris if you are looking for some joy in eating a Pizza (or Italian food). Went to this place many times and the experience is always excellent. I won’t describe the Pizza taste because there are no words that describes it… Drinks, food, atmosphere, interior design, staff, service: everything is so excellent. Do not miss this restaurant when in Paris.

    Super popular place so had to try, prices are not too bad and food is good quality. Pizza base was good, nice and wood fired, the pasta we ordered was so good - dumpling pasta filled with potato. Overall great restaurant if you don’t have to wait. Unsure if I would be lining up for the food though.

    This was my favorite restaurant in Paris. The service was great and the good delicious. We ordered a cocktail that turns out is not common in Paris. The bar tender looked it up and made it for us. Was honestly the best tasting French 75 I have ever had. Their cocktails on the menu also delicious. The ambiance and decor was very cool. Also right outside the bathrooms was a little photo booth.

    Our waitress, Laura , was fantastic. The food was superb, fresh and is a good value for money. My main concern is the noise of the place. People are noisy and the wall aren’t absorbing it. This means it must be hard for the staff work all day. I hope they can make adjustments so they can work in a safe environment!

    A great place to gather with friends, very cool restaurant, friendly staff, delicious food. The only thing we didn’t like that we were given a shared table with other people while we reserved in advance and mentioned that it is a special occasion! And when asked to change the table the only choice was a high table !

  • 5/5 Kedar “Kdizzle” H. 11 months ago on Google • 63 reviews
    This is the best pizza in the world! I have traveled many places but never have I had pizza this flavorful, delicious and just truly immaculately made. It’s an absolute must-have! Great environment and atmosphere too, lovely staff 🙏

  • 4/5 Larissa 1 year ago on Google • 50 reviews
    It was my must go list restaurant, finally tried with my friend. Reservations needed, if not you have to take a very long line outside for waiting. The truffle pizza was so delicious 🤤 the size was enough for one person for sure. Then the truffle pasta, tastes as good as ever. The tiramisu was must have dessert too! I have tried them in all other big mama restaurants, 100% recommended! The drink we had was without alcohol, forgot the name but it cost only 5 euros/per person with a huge glass ! And the taste was very helping to digest heavy taste of truffles. Decorations were very delightful, but it’s a quite noisy place. You have to speak very loud to hear each other. Also it’s mostly shared tables with other guests, it’s more like a place you come with friends and family. Not recommended for dating couples. Worth a visit .

    Make a reservation. Staff came out at opening and welcomed us in Italian. Restaurant is beautiful, they make you feel like you are in Italy. Staff is really polite. Pizza was delicious! Definitely recommend it!

    Where do I begin? The service? Amazing, fast, so friendly. And SOOO FAST! We ordered and ate in 10 minutes The food? SOO GOOD! We had the truffle pizza and spaghetti with tomato sauce and some other ingredients. It was amazing. Also we had the profiterole napolitaine. Take it! It was perfect. Not the ordinary profiterole The decor was also stunning. Really nice touch the open cuisine. I recommend you to book a reservation because it’s always full.

  • 5/5 Eslam K. 1 year ago on Google • 16 reviews
    A wonderful restaurant. The pizza was really nice. I did not like the pasta and the trumpet. It needed to be firmer and needed more coffee taste. The service was slow, but the atmosphere was great.

  • 5/5 Andrea S. 1 year ago on Google
    Been there for like 5 times. I loved it every time. Amazing drinks. The truffle pasta & pizza is a must for truffle lovers. If you want to skip the line - get a reservation or be there right on time when they open, the queue will be fast. Also their decoration is super cool. lastly their staff is really nice!e

    Great place. We ordered 2 pizzas, my wasnt really in my style. Menu on page google is totally different - they have only digital version of that. Not many options of pizzas. Service is ok, climate too. Its pretty expensive

    Great atmosphere, amazing food… bit slow service but overall,4.9/5 Went there with friends for dinner, portion sizes are bit smaller but the taste is finger licking good. We enjoyed our meal thoroughly. Ordered Tiramisu for dinner and Umami..😘 Highly recommended!!!

  • 4/5 Elie H. 1 year ago on Google
    We reserved and still had to wait about 10mins for dinner, which was fine since service is very fast and the food distribution is almost immediate. The pizzas (4 cheese and Margherita) were outstanding, exquisite and simply delicious. Portions size is perfect. Dough is maybe 5% too doughy but that’s the only inconvenience food wise. You sit next to other people in a communal type of setting and it’s a bit too loud inside. Otherwise, 5 stars for sure

    Best pizza I have ever had, burrata is also the best! Thank you❤️ awesome staff too! Waitress Delia was lovely✨

  • 4/5 Birgit S. 11 months ago on Google
    Love the decor and vibe. Ordered the pizza with ham and mushroom (Reina?) and it was very tasteful. As a dessert I had the churros, covered in (too much) chocolate. Would’ve preferred to have the chocolate separately. Be aware that the restaurant is very popular and therefore very crowded. Expect to be seated together at 1 table with people you don’t know :)

  • 5/5 Courtney Q. 11 months ago on Google
    Emma was an amazing server. She went from French to Italian to English flawlessly. The pizza was fresh and tasty. We enjoyed the pistachio pizza and the margarita. I recommend making a reservation because it was busy! The virgin colada drink was really fun!

  • 5/5 abhishek c. 1 year ago on Google
    Fabulous place… I feel 5 stars is also less for here. The ambience is awesome. The food is great & the cocktails are just wow. Loved being here today & spent a great evening. The staff is awesomely cool. It is a must visit place in Paris. Recommendations: Truffe(It is vegetarian also), Tiramisù.

  • 1/5 Henri Y. 10 months ago on Google • 2 reviews
    Nice foods, chic atmosphere, reasonable price. But the guy managing the service at the downstairs, forcing to pay through the link with QR code which costs additional an euro, acting he doesn’t understand when I asked for a bill. I could have paid much more tip than that “a piece of coin”. Please don’t act that rude to foreigner.
