The Verdun district is not well known to tourists, but it has many surprises in store, like the Italian restaurant Rita, named after the owners' grandmothers. This modern bistro offers a warm and family atmosphere where it is very pleasant to share a classic and very tasty Italian cuisine. Favoring fresh and local products, the chef Joseph, of Sicilian origin, proposes a constantly evolving menu that smells good the sun and the dolce vita. Terrace in summer and a nice selection of Italian wines.

Fine pizzas, cooked to perfection since 1948! Families and groups of friends flock here, but the wait is well worth it, whether it's for a pizza with well-chosen ingredients, pasta (ravioli, cannelloni, gnocchi, etc.) or a plate of antipasti. The setting is very simple and the atmosphere very lively. Conquered guests can go and have a look at their gourmet shop, Miss Napoletana (across the street), and stock up on good homemade or imported products: pasta, sauces, frozen pizzas, oils, coffee and much more.
