Cozy Italian spot near Musée d’Orsay delivering comforting pastas, pinza-style pizza, and warm bilingual service upstairs, with solid lunch formulas but mixed reports on service speed and value.
Di Como delivers reliable Italian comfort dining with strong food quality highlighted by excellent lasagne and truffle mushroom pasta, supported by attentive bilingual service. However, inconsistent execution across visits and notably slow pacing between courses prevent grade A territory. The elegant Rue du Bac location with a cozy upstairs room makes it a worthwhile neighborhood stop, particularly for post-museum meals, though it doesn't command cross-city trips.
The downstairs looks like a deli, but head upstairs to a room that feels warm and cozy just off Rue du Bac. Service is often easygoing and bilingual, with staff explaining dishes in English and guiding allergy needs. One diner summed it up: "We never felt rushed, and the pasta hit the spot." However, there are some review authenticity concerns suggesting certain reviews may be solicited or influenced. The cooking leans classic Italian comfort—lasagne, pinza-style pizza, and truffle mushroom pasta—more produce-driven tradition than showy technique. When the kitchen is on, plates are rich, balanced, and satisfying; during rush, pacing can slip and seasoning can vary. It suits those who want a relaxed, post-museum meal with familiar flavors rather than avant-garde twists. Families do fine here: kids gravitate to Margherita-style pizza, gnocchi alla sorrentina, and panna cotta. Portions tend to run moderate, so big appetites may need an antipasto. There is no dedicated kids menu mentioned, but straightforward pastas and desserts make it approachable for younger eaters.
