The story
Osteria Gòto in Paris serves Italian cooking inspired by Venetian cicchetti, transforming a former advertising career into a dedicated pursuit of regional flavors. Francesco La Porta left fashion campaigns to bring his native Veneto directly to Boulevard Voltaire. His Italian kitchen focuses on small plates designed for sharing, while Le Fooding recognized this straightforward approach when listing the venue for 2026. Nonna traditions guide the foundation, though an acqua alta twist keeps each recipe distinctly modern.
Raw tuna replaces veal in the house version of tonnato, resting beside perfectly sautéed potatoes. Other highlights include tuna polpette finished with a sharp harissa mayo and sweet and sour eggplant tempura tacos brushed with satay sauce. These creations anchor a broader selection of natural wines that map out regional vineyards. Guests can follow any meal with a classic tiramisu prepared using traditional techniques.
A long communal counter fronts an open kitchen where cooks prepare each course in view. Napkins hang above brutalist tables as soft lighting fixtures. The layout encourages a relaxed pace that matches the casual nature of Italian cooking. Large windows frame the neighborhood street, allowing diners to step outside when the weather turns mild.
