Le Sept, Quinze

Why go there?

Because the heart Le Sept Quinze belongs to Italy, even if it keeps one feet in the VIIth district and the other in the XVth.

For its cuisine "made in Italy" bursting with sunshine, with pizzas made up of Napoli flour, pasta al dante, and the famous mozzarella di buffala.

For its setting inspired from the 1950's, that the boss Mathieu has created by getting back old plates of Martini and touristic posters of San Remo and Napoli, from flea-markets in Italy.

The regulars

Diplomats from the neighbouring Unesco headquarters, lawyers, and shopkeeps.
