Sale e Pepe
Just outside Montmartre in an area of the 18th Arrondissement generally less frequented by tourists, this unassuming bistro may not be flashy but it’s well-loved among those in the know. Prized for its homemade pastas and sizeable array of fresh pizza specials (expect at least half a dozen on any given day), the menu at Sale e Pepe focuses on simple dishes prepared with passion. Try the orechiette in red pepper cream or the casarecce in tomato sauce with mushroom and zucchini for pure bites of Italy.
