The story
On the rue du Bac, Piero TT is the Parisian address where Pierre Gagnaire expresses his vision of Italian cooking. Neither fully trattoria nor bistro, it is a convivial table that puts good Italian products front and centre, in a warm and relaxed atmosphere. The chef describes it as a gastronomy that is both demanding and accessible, simple and comforting.
The restaurant has earned a Michelin Recommended distinction, a recognition that aligns with Gagnaire’s approach: uncomplicated excellence. The menu changes with the seasons, drawing on the best of Italy’s larder – from fresh pasta to cured meats and vegetables – prepared with the precision one expects from a Gagnaire kitchen, but without the formality.
Lunch and dinner are served Tuesday through Saturday, with a midday service from 12:00 to 14:30 and evening from 19:30 to 22:30. The interior is designed for ease, and when weather permits, outdoor seating extends the experience onto the street. Private parties are also welcome, and the restaurant’s boutique offers a taste of the Gagnaire universe to take home.
Piero TT is not a replica of an Italian restaurant; it is a French chef’s personal, affectionate interpretation of Italian cuisine. The result is a place where the cooking is precise yet unpretentious, the wine list leans Italian, and every dish reflects a respect for ingredient and tradition. It is the kind of restaurant that feels like a discovery, even on a repeat visit.
