La Rughetta

My Paris friends had made a reservation at this Italian eatery on my first night in town. A wonderful choice! The moment we walked in, we were greeted warmly by the owner. After ordering the house wine, we set to the difficult task of deciding what to order; there were so many wonderful options.

The salads are large enough to be shared, as we did. We ordered an arugula salad with shaved parmesan, and another salad with fresh vegetables. Both were delicious.

The pizza was recommended as some of the best you’ll find in Paris. But I decided on pasta with goat cheese, zucchini, and tapenade in an olive-oil cream sauce. If your mouth isn’t watering from reading this, it will be when you smell and taste the entrée. I tasted my friend’s pizza, and the recommendation was well earned. The portions are well sized, enough to satiate, but not oversized.

We were also privy to a local experience. A weekend regular was a famous cabaret singer in Paris. She broke into a French song while we were eating. The owner provided her with background accompaniment from the restaurant’s stereo. The local diners joined her in song. When she was through with her set, she came over to our table and started asking about us in French. When she found out we were American, she told us about her visit to the U.S.

If you are in the Montmartre area, stop in for some wonderful eats accompanied by a terrific house wine.
