& our favorite table at the gates of Paris:
Gruppomimo Levallois
Good news for western Parisians… and Levalloisians! Gruppomimo inaugurated its new establishment a few months ago, on the side of Levallois-Perret. Upon arrival, we take full eyes with his super instagrammable girly decor. The setting, both vintage and joyful, relies on the alliance of noble materials: pink benches, olive green velvet seats, marble tables, woodwork...
In super warm Italian atmosphere, we start by ordering a sunny cocktail with delirious flavors. Then comes the time to choose between the different dishes offered by Pietro Rabboni. Very fluffy Neapolitan pizzas, creamy risottos or generous pastas prepared directly from the wheel of Parmesan cheese, sicilian chef makes it a point of honor to source excellent fresh products, direct from its country of origin.
At the beginning of the year, the restaurant unveiled its new menu, in which we find the most emblematic recipes of the gourmet Dolce Vita (bruschetta, mozzarella, focaccia, etc.) but also an original suggestion of pizzas to warm the hearts of gourmets. . Our recommendations ? The delicious Coppa Zucca (butternut cream, mozzarella fior di latte, Provola, Coppa & basil) or the incredible Diabolo Diavola (tomato sauce, mozzarella fior di latte, piccante calabrese spianata, candied shallots, fresh ricotta, lime zest & basil).
Notice to pasta lovers, among the new products on offer, don't miss the Cheesy Piccante (Fresh all'uovo scialatielli, Gorgonzala & 'Nduja cream) or the Zucchina Salsa (Fresh all'uovo Garganelli, zucchini cream, Pecorino DOP, sage & zucchini chips). Sweet tooths are not forgotten with the star dessert Michel Angioletti made up of small pieces of pizza dough fried like 'churros', coated in pistachio cream… A treat for the taste buds.
The alternatives ? Besides the classic Tiramisu and Pannacotta, we recommend the dirty mouth, a light chocolate mousse with salted butter & hazelnut caramel, and finally, the one and only Pistacchiozza, a pizza simply covered with a pistachio spread… Quite simply, a killer.
Gruppomimo, 27 rue Carnot, 92300 Levallois-Perret. Open 7 days a week until 7 p.m.
