Gran Caffe Convivium

Let me talk about the best italian restaurant of Paris. You will feel like home. All the waiters are from Italy or Sicily. 
​
I discovered this restaurant thanks to my family, 4 years ago and I became a regular client. I came here many times, to celebrate my birthday, my brother's birthday, my graduation, or just for lunching with my friends. 

The menu is full of choices. As appetizers, I have the habit to choose  : Mozzarella sticks, pieces of breaded mozzarella served with a spicy sauce. Sometimes, I could eat a tasty special bruschetta : grilled homemade bread, topped with chopped tomato, garlic, olive oil and melted mozzarella cheese. This is delicious ! As main course, I always chose the raviolis with black truffle ("Ravioli alla crema di tartufo). This is pasta stuffed with ricotta, cream of black truffle and parmesan cheese. I'm not a real fan of pizzas, in general but I'm a huge fan of pasta. 

Gnocchi sorrentina are also delicious. Here are the ingredients : potato dumplings, mozzarella, tomato sauce and parmesan cheese. 

Finally, the best for the end : the dessert. I already ate : 

• A warm chocolate brownie with a vanilla ice cream and a dollop of cream. The combination cold/warm is perfect, according to me. 
• "Crepe alla siciliana" : I was disappointed, because it's too much creamy and could seem disgusting. I hate when the dessert is full of mascarpone cream. Never choose it :) 
• Different cups of ice cream : Coppa Oreo (I love it), Coppa Dama Bianca, Bomboniere... 

Average prices : 
For 3 persons, between 150€ and 200€ (appetizers, main course and dessert).
