Simonetta Restaurant
About
Nestled on the quay of the Canal de l’Ourcq in Paris’s 19th arrondissement, Simonetta is a vibrant trattoria that brings the heart of Naples to the city. The restaurant’s sleek interior is a graceful blend of Italian heritage and contemporary Parisian flair, evoking the charm of a small Venetian alley with warm wooden accents, wicker furnishings, and lush greenery. The menu balances classic Italian favorites—like authentic Neapolitan pizza, creamy burrata, and hearty pasta—with a modern twist, all crafted from 100 % Italian ingredients and prepared on the house’s imported wood-fired oven. Whether you join the casual lunchtime crowd for a quick slice or let the cosy terrace beckon you for an evening of sizzles and clinking glasses, Simonetta offers a true taste of Italia right on Paris’s waterway. Guests can enjoy the day’s simple, seasonal flavors from noon until evening, with a relaxed schedule that encourages both a swift lunch and a leisurely dinner. The restaurant’s ties to the community are evident in its bustling yet welcoming ambience, making it an ideal spot for families, couples, and food lovers alike. When you step outside onto the terrace, the rhythmic lapping of Canal de l’Ourcq provides a perfect backdrop for a spritz or a glass of wine—ideal timing for a sunny spring or early autumn day.
