The newest Italian restaurant in Paris, having opened in 2017, Ristorante National serves up simple Italian dishes with a pimped-up twist. Think risotto with sea urchin, creamy polenta with sautéed mushrooms, parmesan & black truffle (a must order) and a huge Milanese style escalope for two people. Its slick decor, glass ceilings and owner creds (the team have a handful of hotels & restaurants like the sexy Thai Bambou) mean it’s popular with the locals.
