Nonno Matteo Paris: Authentic Italian Cuisine & Cozy Ambiance

A Parisian restaurant, Nonno Matteo, celebrated the World Tiramisu Day on Saturday, March 21, 2026, by offering the dessert at a reduced price, according to information released by the establishment.

Located on 18 Rue du Faubourg Montmartre in the 9th arrondissement, Nonno Matteo was founded by David Bottreau, a seasoned restaurateur and Guillaume Dehecq, a creative chef. The pair trained at an Italian culinary school to master Roman-style pizza dough and classic Italian dishes. The restaurant aims to blend traditional Italian cuisine with a contemporary, gourmet approach, prioritizing authentic flavors and high-quality ingredients.

The restaurant features a main dining area with a communal table and a bar, a smaller, more intimate lounge area with a loft-style glass roof, and a private room for events. A terrace accommodates 14 diners. The décor is designed to create a warm and inviting atmosphere, according to promotional materials.

Nonno Matteo’s menu, described as intentionally concise, focuses on homemade dishes using ingredients imported directly from Italy. The restaurant also offers a selection of Italian wines curated by the chef. Each day of the week features a different specialty, including risotto, Milanese cutlet, lasagna, seafood, and pizza. The Diavola pizza, with its spicy ventricina sausage and southern Italian cheese, is highlighted as a signature dish, featuring a thin, crispy crust topped with fresh arugula. The lasagna Verdura, made with fresh pasta and seasonal vegetables, is also a popular choice.

The restaurant is open daily and attracts both tourists and Parisians, benefiting from its location near the Grands Boulevards theaters and cinemas. According to online reviews, Nonno Matteo is known for its attentive service and well-managed atmosphere. The restaurant’s Instagram page, @nonnomatteo, showcases its offerings and ambiance.
