La Scala Siciliana
Let's head to the 3rd arrondissement for the beautiful family story of La Scala Siciliana. This restaurant, run by two Sicilian brothers (who are super welcoming by the way), has been awarded the prestigious "Ospitalita Italiana" label for excellence. They offer traditional cuisine from their island. Delicious charcuterie plates, generously portioned salads, pappardelle with truffle cream, polpette alla Siciliana... The menu is full of culinary wonders unknown to our French taste buds. While we love everything, a special mention goes to their pizzas and homemade tiramisu which are simply to die for... To top it off, a lovely little terrace on a quiet street.
