The story
Located along the banks of the Canal de l’Ourcq, Gina operates as a modern Italian trattoria in Paris’s 19th arrondissement. Spacious terraces frame the waterway, offering diners a relaxed backdrop for lunch or evening meals. The interior blends floral accents with warm lighting to create a consistently inviting space. Recent reviews and a 11.5 Gault&Millau score highlight how the kitchen balances comfort with precision.
The culinary approach centers on straightforward Italian cooking that prioritizes fresh ingredients and careful preparation. Handmade pasta remains a daily staple, served hot alongside seasonal seafood selections. Diners often return for the wood-fired pizzas, particularly the classic pizzetta napolitaine layered with mozzarella and burrata. Every dish reflects a commitment to authentic flavors without unnecessary complexity.
A well-stocked wine cellar provides pairings that complement the menu’s regional Italian roots. The bar program extends this focus through three house creations: PPM, Village Beauty, and Negroni Berry. These drinks balance familiar botanical profiles with unexpected twists suited to the restaurant’s contemporary direction. The selection ensures both traditionalists and modern palates find their match.
