Across the street from Marriott Rive Gauche, stopped in for lunch. The bruschetta was delicious. Margherita pizza portion size was too big for 1. The spaghetti bolognese was flavorful. The penne pasta was light. Our table of 6 ordered a variety of delicious desserts, chocolate mousse, panna cotta, moelleux chocolate, coffee ice cream.The restaurant was full for lunch so we had to flag our server for everything.

We had a lovely meal at Villa St Jacques. I had the spaghetti bolognaise and my husband had lasagna. We also had a lovely bottle of wine. The service was excellent and the meal was so enjoyable!  Limoncello completed the meal!

My husband and I were in Paris for 2 nights before we headed to Switzerland. We ate at La Villa Saint Jacques our second night. This quaint Italian restaurant was a 5 minute walk from our hotel (Paris Marriott Rive Gauche). The restaurant was cute walking in. There were windows from top to bottom. 

As they say, it's always good to speak some French while you are in France to show respect to the locals. At least they will be more kind to you if they see that you've tried.  I greeted the man and told him there would be two for dinner. Of course he answered me in English which he was able to speak fluently. I was born and raised in Canada and took French growing up, but haven't used it in a VERY long time! But I'm glad I got some practice while we were in Paris. 

So we are in Paris and in an Italian restaurant.... what to order???  I skimmed their menu and couldn't help but see how vast their pizza menu was. I ordered a classic Margherita Pizza (just cheese, tomato, basil with a little sauce) and my husband orders one of their specials ( I think it was the Roma.. I can't remember). It came with a bunch of different kinds of meat, peppers, eggplant, and an egg in the middle. 

The crust is thin, but had a nice smoky taste, I thought the sauce and cheese were perfect. My husband on the other hand, had so much stuff on his pizza, it just made the crust soggy. He said the egg was raw in the middle, but we've heard that's how they serve it. So he just ate it... haha.

Anyway, for dessert, we shared an ice cream with chocolate and pears.

Overall, it was a pleasant meal. The pizza we had here was actually better than pizza we tried in parts of Italy! So great job.

Villa Saint Jacques is located right next to the Marriott and it was very convenient because I didn't wanna walk in such a cold weather.  There were a couple other Italian places in the same corner but I picked here according to yelp.  

All the server speak English and the menu is in English as well, which is a huge plus.  I ordered a pizza because everyone on yelp mentioned it.  It was a good size (you can share with someone and order something else, or just for yourself as an entree).  I almost finished the whole thing leaving the crust.  I actually thing it is the perfect size for a male.  

I think this place is a good option when you are not so much a French food person and the price is fairly reasonable considering it is Paris.

After spending the day trying to see as much as I could, I really didn't want to sit in a crowded restaurant. And business was booming. So I ordered a pizza to go. They were incredibly fast and friendly. My pizza was ready in less than five minutes. I took my pizza back to my hotel room. The pizza was nice and hot. They bake the pizza in a wood burning pizza oven. It was fun watching how efficient the guy fixing the pizzas was. 

The pizza itself was just ok. The cheese was kind of thick and chewy. The tomato sauce did not have an abundance of flavor in my opinion. The restaurant came highly recommended and it was very busy. But I can't say I was that impressed. I was super disappointed because I typically love the pizzas I eat in Europe.

Took the advice on the Eurostar and asked a local girl in a bank where she likes to eat. She recommend Villa St Jacques. 
Glad we took her suggestion. It was great. We split a pizza between two of us. It was TERRIFIC!!!

Quite good for pizza in Paris

I wouldn't have thought it possible but the pizza is quite good for being in Paris and not Naples nor NYC. Both the five cheese pizza and the Neapolitan (anchovies, olives, and capers) were delicious. The Ravioli Baronesa (ricotta, spinach, peas, and ham) was also very tasty. If we had kept to the pizzas and pastas the restaurant would have probably gotten five stars but despite my trying to warn her away my wife insisted on getting the veal in lemon sauce. Not the kind of place to order a dish that depends on the quality of the meat and a delicate hand in the kitchen. Unfortunately, she was indeed presented with shoe leather on a plate. Lastly, they served a spectacular Edelweiss beer in a chilled glass which we very much enjoyed and went well with the pizzas. 

The service was enthusiastic but spotty and the staff was clearly overwhelmed by trying to deal with a full restaurant. The decor was casual and the atmosphere quite fun,

Basically, if you stick to the pizzas and pasta (and beer) and have nowhere else you want to be for the next two hours you will be very happy dining here and can consider this to be a five star review.

This was our first meal in Paris. We were duly warned about how service is different in the USA vs here.

That being said, that's why there are 4 stars - they are not attentive no drink refills.

Lasagna with salad - excellent! Spaghetti bolognese is okay - I always want more sauce...pasta with salmon - my husband really liked it.

Desserts were divine! My husband doesn't believe pears should be with ice cream but it works!

We were full and satisfied- it's a short walk from the Marriott so we were content.

Cost $62 Euro for 3 people
