Pizza Vesuvio - Paris

I stumbled upon Vesuvio one Sunday evening after not having found much else open for dinner in the St. Germain area. The waiter/host was friendly and sat me immediately at a table by the front window/door. The wines by the glass were reasonably priced and my Arugula Salad with Burrata and Cherry Tomatoes was bland but fine and healthy. The only negative is that I wish that I hadn't sat by their pizza oven as my clothes and overcoat reeked of grease and oregano afterwards.

Before the pandemic we kept walking by this restaurant and saying that we had to try it. We had plenty of time because we were here for six months. Six weeks into our stay we were locked down. Today we were able to do something that we wanted to do two years ago. The food and the service were very good. My wife said her Spaghetti Carbonara was very good and reminded her of the carbonara we've had in Rome. I had the Linguine al Limone with Shrimp. This was also, very good. Sometimes the lemon can overpower the dish, this was not the case. We have friends and family coming in the next few weeks and we will definitely suggest a return visit.

Excellent pizza even for a New Yorker. Excellent salad and vegeatble sides and veal biolanes. go for lunch!

This is my 2nd favorite pizza in the world! My number one is in Italy, so it had tough competition.

We stopped here for dinner on a Sunday night and the place was almost emptyWe ate in the restaurantService was ok, not very warm but competent.
