Pasta dish was flavorful but pizza was lacking in texture and taste. Smothered with cheese if that's how you like your pizza.

Came here for dinner our last night in Paris on 4/2/24 because it was close to our hotel, we weren't that hungry but know they had pizza which is something we could share.

Our server; a waiter was great, very attentive. He accidentally brought out the wrong pizza for us and set it on our table. We let him know and it ended up on the next table. Of the 2 pizzas he did bring out that we ordered, 1 had peppers on it and we requested no peppers. He apologized, took it back to the kitchen and went outside to get the cook who was having a smoke.

The cook came back, and a few minutes later the pie came back, with almost all the peppers picked off. We stayed at Hotel Keppler and I saw the doorman/bag attendant come in a couple times to get food orders for guests at the hotel.

The ambience is nice, clean decor, kind of spacious and open for Paris. This is an Italian place so the have a few pic of Sophia Loren on the walls, and who doesn't like Sophia Loren?

It you are looking for pizzas in Paris and are in this neighborhood, this is a good choice.

Only reason they got one star is because simply I had to select a star. The place is disgusting dirty and the people are super freaking rude. Would not recommend this place. If you're ever in town definitely find another place. Had to get up and walk out cause they were so rude.

Service est super. Ambiance is calm with exuberant conversations among families, visitors and even children. Prices are normal and the food is good. Pizzas are made in house and popular. Close to several hotels and busy all the time. Reservations are available but not required. Stop in. Open all day.

First time in Pairs with our 6yo and 8yo - staff were super helpful and friendly - food was delicious and just what our fussy eater needed,  a good bowl of plain pasta - quick service too 

Also bonus that it stays open all day so for the time zone travelers this is a bonus 

Great wine selection and well priced - will be back in June 2025

3.5/5 located near our hotel and we didn't want to wait in line anywhere else, so we went to Villa Sophia as they did not have any wait times. We probably should have ordered a pizza as that is what everyone seemed to order. We ordered 2 pasta dishes, one being a chicken alfredo style with penne and one chicken Milanese with rigatoni. The chicken alfredo was slightly dry and it was hard to find pieces of chicken. The Milanese wasn't bad at all. Service was ok and he spoke English.

This was my first time in Paris, and on our first day, my family and I stumbled upon "Villa Sophia" while exploring the city. Throughout the week, we tried many restaurants, but none satisfied us with their food or service--until we found Villa Sophia.

We ended up dining there three times. The food is absolutely incredible! The ambience of the restaurant is beautiful and authentic, adding to the overall experience. For the best service, be sure to ask for Tomas. He made our dining experience truly special, remembering all our names and greeting us with genuine happiness.

I'll definitely return to Paris just to eat at Villa Sophia and see Tomas again. Leaving Paris is bittersweet because of this wonderful place.

Tomas, if you ever read this, you've made my first trip to Paris unforgettable. Much love from Cheyenne and my family!

Waiter was great and pizza is perhaps the best I've had in Europe. Burger was also tres bien.
