Santa Silvia

This 18-seat Italian restaurant is located down a dark, cobblestoned passage in the 20th arrondissement, about 15 minutes from where Jim Morrison is buried in Pere Lachaise cemetery. Expect buttery carbs in the form of focaccia and bruschetta with mozzarella ham, fig, and creamy ricotta, as well as plates like mushroom pappardelle and a carbonara with tuna tartare. All of the plates are meant to be shared, though you can easily polish off the small bowls of pasta like the pappardelle ragu on your own. The same goes for the tiramisu, whose coffee flavor comes in gelato form, and mascarpone, which is doused in so much cacao powder you’ll probably blow your first big spoonful everywhere.
