Restaurante que ofrece buena comida italiana, como raviolis de ricotta y espinacas.
Giovanni Passerini está lejos de ser un desconocido para los amantes de la buena cocina italiana. Abrió Rino en 2010 y cerró en 2014. No es que no funcionara, sino todo lo contrario, pero como la cantante de un animador de televisión conocida "Ah que es apretado en el fondo de esta caja cantan las sardinas…" Efectivamente, en su local demasiado estrecho, el líder romano no podía estallar como deseaba. Con Justine Prot, su asociado de siempre, se reparte en un espacio más grande, ventilado, con una decoración vintage cuidada. Su cocina es gastronómica, nada que ver con las trattoria que siempre sirven los mismos platos. Se confía en las estaciones, en el mercado y en su inspiración: ravioles ricotta y espinaca para empezar, fundantes tripas de romana en salsa de tomate, apio y zanahoria, y baba al ron bien regado. Como la moda es compartida, Giovanni Passerini propone, por ejemplo, un rodaballo con sal para seis.
During our first visit to Paris, my friend and I had the pleasure of dining at Passerini, and what a delightful surprise it was! Recommended by my boss, a native of Rome, we walked in just before the end of lunch service, unsure of what to expect.
Despite the late hour, the warmth and hospitality of the staff immediately put us at ease. The lady at the front welcomed us with a genuine smile and ensured we felt right at home.
Now, let's talk about the food – it was simply divine. We started with the Roman tripe, a dish that transported us to the heart of Italy with its rich flavors and comforting aroma. The carpaccio of oranges was a revelation – who knew oranges could be so savory and delicious? It was a refreshing and unique dish that left us craving for more.
For our mains, we indulged in the Ravioli and Bigoli, both expertly prepared and bursting with flavor. Each bite was a symphony of tastes and textures, a testament to the culinary mastery of the chef. Despite them closing at 2:30 p.m. for lunch service, we were still offered to order dessert and coffee, a gesture that truly exemplified the restaurant's commitment to exceptional service.
Overall, our experience at Passerini was nothing short of exceptional. From the warm welcome to the exquisite food, every aspect exceeded our expectations. It's safe to say that this was one of the best meals we've had in Paris, and we can't wait to return for another unforgettable dining experience.
If you find yourself in Paris, do yourself a favor and pay a visit to Passerini. You won't be disappointed.
Bon appétit!
