Daroco 16 brings Italy to Paris with their mouth-watering Italian affairs. Their partners Alexandre Giesbert, Julien Ross, and Romain Glize recently moved the restaurant to 16th Arrondissement with its vibrant and festive neo-trattoria atmosphere. The decor is filled with brass, a marble cocktail bar, an open kitchen in black granite, and an impressive ceiling (mirror in the shape of a diamond tip).

Upon tasting the food, you can’t deny that Chef Federico Schiavon pays homage to the best Italian cuisine with his antipasti, creamy risotto, well-sauced pasta, and pizza. If you wish to get boozy, head straight to their terrace and find a seat at the cocktail bar with plenty to choose from. We recommend trying the Pandemilk cocktail, made with rum, pineapple, Island Coconut syrup, lemon, whey, and clarified with plenty of Pandan.
