After the Thabor, it is in the lively rue Saint-Hélier that we find Les Italiens du Coin. Nicola Casulli, in charge of the two shops, has at heart to offer the best of Italy, and particularly of its region of origin: Puglia, nicknamed the heel of the boot. And it's a success! It's hard to resist the fresh homemade pasta - gnocchi, ravioli, tagliatelle... -It's hard to resist the fresh homemade pasta - gnocchi, ravioli, tagliatelle, etc. - the smoky scarmoza or the melting gorgonzola, as well as the cold cuts, including the unavoidable speck and prosciutto di Parma. Generosity is also present in the tasty dishes cooked on the spot: aubergine gratin, lasagne parmigiana and risottos. At lunchtime, the regulars, already satisfied by the very good value for money, meet there to take their lunch. For us, it was a puccia pugliese, a typical Apulian sandwich with raw ham, mozzarella and candied tomatoes, accompanied by a slice of homemade ricotta and lemon cheesecake. Fancy an impromptu aperitivo? Take your pick from the colourful antipasti, sun-drenched wines and crunchy biscuits. It's sure to be a no-fail affair!
