To put it bluntly; we felt bad putting money into this place. Unfortunately, the food is ok and may trick the passing tourist to enter or sit down at the restaurant, but throw one glance at the nearest waiter and you'll realize that neither your glance nor any other gentle attempt for contact will be returned throughout your below-average meal....

My wife and I were looking for wood-fired pizza and we had noticed this spot the previous evening. Rarely have I had great meals in the Latin Quarter and this was no exception. We really enjoyed our waiter, who played little jokes on us with a twinkle in his eye. For instance, when my wife asked the location of the... More

We eat at this restaurant each time we visit Paris, and we dined there twice at the end of December, 2011. Their "salad mixte" is always fresh with lots of fennel, and we always get their marguerite pizza with "huile piquant". The waiters are always friendly, the service is excellent, and the prices are good.

Our meal at Rim Cafe was good, not great, but just what we needed on a rainy night. My husband ordered a pizza that had chicken and onions and I ordered a pasta dish that consisted of tortilini that were beef filled in a cream sauce with ham and peas. Overall, it was good but lacked a little bit in... More

The food was very good and the service excellent in this left bank Italian establishment. We were seated quickly even though the restaurant was very crowded. The pizza was excellent. Several families with young children were there and it appears to be a good family restaurant.

We stayed at the hotel that this rstaurant is a part of for 8 nights and we ate dinner at this restaurant three times. First, we ordered a pizza to bring back to our room. They have several named pizzas on their menu but one can apparently make up their own combination as we did. The pizza was very good... More

We ate here 3 times in our week long stay in Paris. This place is neat and clean, has indoor and outdoor tables and has pretty low prices. We especially liked their green salad, veal marsala and their pizzas (while they have several named types of pizza, it seems they'll make one with any combination of toppings you want). While...

We had pasta, which was homely, but overall dry and cold. Not bad, and decent value
