AMARVI: the new Italian address to discover in the 5ᵉ arrondissement

At 9 rue Cujas, the AMARVI restaurant stands out as a new taste experience in the 5ᵉ arrondissement. We were won over by the restaurant’s ability to blend traditional cuisine with Italian creativity, in a friendly, cosy setting. Just a stone’s throw from the Pantheon, Jardin du Luxembourg, Sorbonne and Musée de Cluny, the restaurant nestles in a poetic neighborhood. A stroll through the typically Parisian streets, ancient bookshops and century-old trees prolongs the pleasure after your meal.

The menu pays tribute to reinvented Italian cuisine

Here, every dish is prepared with care and quality products, to offer tasty, authentic cuisine. The selection of homemade Italian specialties transports us straight to the heart of Italy, where the flavors speak for themselves. Roman pinsas crisp up under seasonal toppings. The Mortadella e Rucola, with its melt-in-your-mouth mortadella, fresh arugula, creamy ricotta and smoked scamorza, is both tasty and generous. You’ll also love the ‘Nduja e Peperoni, spicy and full of character. It thrills the taste buds with candied peppers, grilled zucchini tagliatelle and melting burrata. Every bite smells of Italy!

Fresh homemade pasta reveals rich, perfectly balanced sauces. Pasta lovers will appreciate the Mafaldine con Polpette. A real treat, with their simmered tomato sauce, beef meatballs and guanciale, sprinkled with Parmesan shavings. Spaghetti alla Chitarra con Branzino is delicate and fragrant, with marinated sea bass, citrus zest and fresh herbs.Vegan and gluten-free optionsare available on request.

As for the Bruschettas and Arancinis, they are veritable explosions of deliciousness. TheArancini alla Puttanesca is spicy and savory, a true vegetarian delight. TheArancini alla Mozzarella e San Daniele is both crispy and melt-in-your-mouth, with mozzarella di bufala and cured San Daniele ham. The Bruschettas, on the other hand, are vegetarian and feature seasonal vegetables to perfection.

Here, it’s all about sharing. Foccacia, Pinsa or Planche à partager bring everyone together around generous flavors. Seasonal salads add freshness and lightness. Finally, desserts such as Torta al Limone di Amalfi or Amarenamisu, a creamy tiramisu with morello cherries, round off the meal in style.

Every dish is carefully thought out. Every flavor is studied. A perfect harmony between Italian tradition and contemporary creativity, where every bite is a real journey to the heart of Italy.
