Hidden gem in Montmartre... An italian place to hang out with great food options. Pasta and pizza were amazing, equally tasty to the original italian flavours. Prices were normal, service was also very good.

Nice little restaurant close to Montmartre. Is quite small and has an old vintage look, but the food is surprisingly good and the prices reasonable for Paris. Definitely a place to go.

Great location and great option for Italian food! Portions are big and the atmosphere is cozy. Indoor and outdoor seating, although outdoor seating is roadside (dust). But, that’s just an observation and not criticism as they’ve done what they needed to do with space limitations. Good variety of food and the taste was good. Had a very homey feel and would return!

I didn't expect the food to be that delicious, however, it was really worth it! The prices are also alright.

We visited Pizzico twice this week. English is not their strong suit but they are bilingual so no worries trying to order food. We mostly had Pizza which is like most European places but the crust is really good here! Not over done with toppings, not over or under cooked, just great pizza. Lasagna was good, he under estimated the size of it so I got a soup as well… I would have been ok with just the lasagna. It also came with a small side salad. The soup was the onion soup which is not what I was expecting. Expecting the rich, dark, salty French onion soup… it was what I would describe as a garden style soup with just onions. Tasty without being onion over powering. If you were French, this would be a great hangout with a group of friends. The main guy who seems to be there every evening is certainly a friendly guy. Took two visits to warm up to us. Certainly a great stop for an evening out, even with a 13yr old.

Perfect location where is near Sacred Heart of Montmartre. The restaurant is small but with perfect atmosphere. The salad is perfect. Highly recommend.
