Bella Italia - Paris 17e Arrondissement

We went to this place with a group of 4 friends and opted for a table outside on the pavement. The waitress had difficulties to open the win which was a bit warm but we ended up opening the bottle and laughing as we asked her to put the next one in the fridge. We tried a lot of dishes and they were all really good with fresh ingredients and a rich but balanced flavour. The wine was good too after a bit of cooling The prices are reasonable

Very good restaurant and traiteur. The mezze and appetizers are top notch, more authentic and better than most lebanese restaurants in lebanon! The falafel, rikakat, kebbé, hommous and fries are to-die-for. The same goes for the sandwiches (the chicken shawarma is amazing, one of the few authentic ones in Paris).

They even don't want to serve if you just want cofe. TripAdvisor asks to write down more to stay revier but actually there is nothing to say more.

The waiter/maybe owner spent entire time on phone during our meal. I should have walked out when my starter arrived with no additional plates (his still on phone). So when I asked for spare plate I only got one and he shoved(literally) food plate on my side and POINTED (since his still on phones) that my Mrs should use spare one. We ordered spaghetti bolognese lasagna. Spaghetti was dry and distasteful and lasagna was poor quality as well. I should have also guessed that surrounding restaurants were very busy and no one on this restaurant but I thought I go into this one for quite meal, well how wrong was I? :(

The owners are friendly and cater to your needs. Not a great menu in terms of variety but good pizza. Toilet is one of the beat I came across. Clean with a really expensive hand dryer. Lovely tiles too!
