Stern Ristorante

Paris, France

From the Alajmo brothers and Gianni Frasi, this old‑school Italian diner exudes antiquarian charm in the heart of the fashion-forward 2nd arrondissement. Set in a historic space that first opened as a letterpress in 1834, the dining room features gilded brass interiors, eclectic wall art and rustic chevron flooring. For a quick bite, try the apple frittella beneath a cloud of eggy zabaione from the a la carte menu. Or let the kitchen take the reins and opt for the four or six course tasting menu, which includes signature Alajmo dishes such as potato cappuccino with bolognese ragù and dill tagliolini with lobster. There is plenty for oenophiles too: floor‑to‑ceiling wine chillers display a largely Italian selection with an emphasis on small producers.
