Best Italian Restaurants in PARIS?

Anyone have any recommendations for wonderful Italian restaurants in Paris? Prefferably in arrd. 4 and 6? I know it seems like a crazy question, but this will be the first trip in 10 years that we dont visit Italy and I'd like to have some good Italian food while we are in Paris!

If you would be satisfied with a small family run place that feels like it should be in Naples try Napoli Food
6 rue Castex 75004
01 44 54 06 61
Not at all upscale but delicious for sure.

I don't think it is crazy. My favorite Italian restaurant in Paris is Swann and Vincent. It is located at:

7 rue St-Nicolas, 12e

I just love their fried calamari and shrimp, as well as the pasta with tomato sauce and basil. So simple but oh so heavenly! My husband enjoyed their roasted racks of lamb and ravioli.

If you want something more upscale the Italian restaurant in the Castile Hotel is also excellent. I am so sorry I can't remember the name.

Have a great time!

The Sicilian restaurant Convivium on the Place Victor Hugo. A short walk down to the Trocadero after dinner to see the twinkling lights on the Eiffel Tower, lit on the hour after dark.

Thanks, I'm drooling already! I absolutely LOVE Sicilian food. I like the down home restaurants. Hubby and I don't often eat upscale on these trips.

Il Convivium is a fun, lively place. Moderately priced. Ask for a table on the main floor, not down in the basement (we always get stuck down in the basement because we have our dog with us, which is ok, better to be downstairs than to have her stepped on by waiters in the busy, sometimes hectic main floor).

A more upscale (and more serene) Italian restaurant in the same neighborhood is Conti. Very good food.

In the 7th, Lei is my favorite Italian, a couple of doors down from Le Florimond. Peaceful but not at all stuffy. Great wines by the glass (and terrific fresh squeezed blood orange juice). For lunch or dinner, but reservations advised for dinner. You might be able to wing it for lunch. I try to get there a couple of times a year (usually ordering the tagliata).
