Fodor's Expert Review PaCrì
Editor's Note: This location is no longer in operation.
Recently moved to the Taïwana Hotel, this popular St. Barth restaurant serves huge portions of house-made pasta, wood-oven pizza (at lunch only), and authentic Italian main courses (including chicken Milanese and fresh local fish carpaccios) in a sophisticated setting on Flamands Beach. The menu—handwritten on a chalkboard—changes daily. Don't miss the softball-size hunk of the best artisanal mozzarella you've ever had, flown in from Puglia, Italy and garnished with prosciutto or tomato and basil. The eggplant Parmesan appetizer is delicious and more than enough for a meal. Like the pastas, the bread and the desserts are made in-house; the fresh Bamboloni, a hot beignet-like dessert made with ricotta, is to-die-for.
