All the excellence of Italy just a mouthful away…
Proud Roman, Giuseppe, set up shop on rue Grégoire de Tours because he wanted « to give the French people the opportunity to eat exactly as if they were in Italy ». It took less than a year for La Buca to become a must-visit address. First discovered by the neighbourhood’s gallery owners, this little corner of Italy already has a loyal clientele, most of them of Italian origin – always a good sign! Some even reserve their piece of tiramisu in advance to ensure they don’t miss out! The key to this sensational success? Fresh produce delivered each week from the four corners of Italy, refined cookery by Sardinian chef Matteo, a lovely warm welcome…
We feel right at home as we sample the bruschetta, gnocchi and malloreddus, or the osso bucco della casa, not to mention the fish of the day, always delicious, and then there’s the grilled calamari…
It’s a pleasure to watch the chef prepare our order, almost before our eyes, as the two downstairs rooms fill up with friends or colleagues. And if you’re as mad about truffles as we are, whether your penchant is for black or white, welcome to paradise! A true neighbourhood favourite.
