Stopped at this restaurant after a big day sightseeing.  Other diners had big plates of food that looked great.  After sitting down to a frosty greeting by the hostess, we finally ordered after trying to get her attention 3 times.  Food arrived and all 4 dishes were half the size of the other diners!!!!  Everyone else was getting great attention by the Hostess except us.  Maybe because we were tourists and not locals shame because we try to eat in local restaurants where ever we go.  Food was good

My wife had food poisoning from the day before and wasn’t feeling well. The very sympathetic waiter came back with hot water lemon and a digestive to settle her stomach. Much appreciated. Lovely restaurant.

I was thinking of going to Le petit marché but it was fully booked. It was a cold Friday night. Me and my friend decided to go to Le petit italien instead and was very lucky to get the last table at the moment.
Every dish we had was amazing ! Highly recommended. The atmosphere was great, too :)
Might not have tiramisu next time (not too bad but just okay)

It's an Italian restaurant with a good atmosphere.
The baguette served as pre-dinner bread is very delicious.
Today's dish, which I ordered as the main dish, also shows a very good quality for the price.
Spaghetti, gambas, etc. are all delicious.
It's worth stopping by and eating.
