Nestled in the heart of Paris at 7 Rue Chambiges, the restaurant Stresa Le offers an authentic Italian dining experience that transports guests straight to Italy. With its intimate ambiance and a menu that boasts both classic and contemporary Italian dishes, this spot is a must-visit for food lovers seeking a genuine taste of Italy in the City of Light. The restaurant's elegant decor and warm lighting create a cozy yet sophisticated atmosphere, perfect for romantic dinners or special gatherings.

Stresa Le is renowned for its exquisite pasta dishes, with the linguine astice (lobster pasta) standing out as a sensory delight, featuring tender lobster coated in a rich, flavorful sauce that perfectly balances decadence and freshness. Another standout is the homemade tiramisu, layered with mascarpone and espresso-soaked ladyfingers, offering a luscious finish to your meal. The restaurant's commitment to authentic ingredients and culinary craftsmanship makes it a favorite among locals and visitors alike.

The story of Stresa Le dates back to its founders' passion for authentic Italian cuisine and their dedication to creating a cozy yet elegant dining environment. The restaurant's kitchen is run by a team of skilled chefs who emphasize traditional recipes while adding a modern twist. A fun fact: the restaurant's name is inspired by the serene Lake Maggiore's town of Stresa, reflecting the owners' love for Italy's picturesque landscapes and culinary heritage.

 The restaurant is renowned for its authentic Italian pasta dishes, especially the lobster linguine and the rich, creamy tiramisu.

 To enjoy a memorable dining experience with authentic Italian flavors, impeccable service, and a cozy ambiance that makes every meal special.

What a sad, arrogant echo of what this place once might have been. The waiters - mostly old men who seem either exhausted, annoyed with life, or both - fumbled through the evening with visible discomfort and outright rudeness. I respect age and experience. I do. But the physical and emotional exhaustion of the staff became our burden: shaky hands, forgotten dishes, reprimanding voices, glares instead of grace. If you're tired of the job - retire. Don't punish your guests. I don't give an ounce of shag what your issues at home are.

We had to beg them to take our order. One man even barked at his brother across the room. Charming. Our salads and artichokes? Forgotten. The portion of broccoli? A joke. Four sad florets, though we asked for a proper plate. The vongole? Flavourless and forgettable. My beloved wife - trained at the École Ritz Escoffier - makes a better version at home on a Tuesday night. Makes you want to lick out the bowl. Just kidding...

To compound the evening's unraveling: another table erupted into loud, graceless celebration - complete with shouted birthdays, alma mater name-drops, and self-congratulation of the most cringeworthy kind. When we politely asked the staff to step in, we were met with a shrug and a "It's noisy everywhere." That might be true in a Neapolitan fish market - but not in what claims to be a refined Parisian institution.

La Stresa lives off faded photographs and older regulars who perhaps no longer notice how poor the food and atmosphere have become. There's no joy here. No pride. No good service, no good manners. Just tired people resenting the job and punishing the clients for it.

I don't say this lightly: It's a disgrace. They should sell the place to someone who remembers what hospitality means. Until then - avoid. There's nothing left to see.

One of the best meals we had while in Paris. They were booked solid two weeks in advance, but they let us come for a 9:30 sitting two days after I called. 

Excellent pasta, tiramisu, and an extra five stars for ambience. Couldn't have been nicer.

I was in Paris for fashion week and had dinner at this authentic Italian restaurant. The restaurant is tiny but the food is delicious. We ordered the eggplant Parmesan & carpaccio for appetizers and had penne arabiata & veal Milanese for main course. Everything was delicious.

Tres chic! This restaurant is so lovely. Intimate but with the most 'in' crowd. The food is fantastic, the vibe personal and the crowd worth watching. We came here for dinner in Paris and I loved everything. We shared a few things to start: the proscuitto with melon, the bresaola, and the mini pizza. Everything was fantastic. The pizza was paper thin with the best tomato and mozzarella. The cantaloupe was so ripe. It was the best melon I've ever had. The Bresaola was incredible, especially when we had them top it with parmesan and arugula. 

For our mains we got three pastas. I had the linguine astice (lobster pasta), we also got the eggplant penne and the arrabiata. The best was the arrabiata with spaghetti! It was so divine. The tiramisu looked incredible but we didn't order it. I will absolutely try it next time! If you want an interesting crowd come around 9:30 or 10!

Below average, not to be recommend at all.
Paris is full of good Italian restaurant, this is defiantly not one of them.
Staff are friendly but unfortunately the food taste is not acceptable.

Upscale classic Italian w/ a contemporary twist - it's a decent spot if you have plans on or right near Champs Elysees, but they're not serving the best Italian in Paris. Also they're expensive and I believe they're closed on Sat & Sun. Other than that, they were nice and the service was fine.
