Tosca

The story

Tosca Paris – Italian cuisine by chef Paolo Ambrogio, Michelin Recommended

The Setting

Tosca occupies a polished dining room inside the Hotel Splendide Royal Paris, on rue du Cirque in the 8th arrondissement. The atmosphere is chic and contemporary, suited for both a light lunch and an elegant dinner.

The Chef

Chef Paolo Ambrogio leads the kitchen with a philosophy rooted in simplicity. His approach to Italian cuisine is both elegant and contemporary — he works with exceptional ingredients, respecting tradition while adding a modern touch. The result is bold, clearly defined flavours that feel both refined and accessible.

The Cuisine

The menu changes with the seasons. At lunch, Tosca offers an inspired yet approachable affair, built around simple, high-quality produce. In the evening, the experience shifts to a more elaborate tasting menu with attentive service. Grilled dishes are a signature of the house, lending a rustic accent to the kitchen’s otherwise polished repertoire.

Tosca’s cooking stays true to the spirit of Italian cuisine — generous, ingredient-led, and never overworked. It is that clarity, combined with the chef’s creative touch, that earned the restaurant a Michelin Recommended distinction for 2026. For diners seeking an authentic Italian meal in Paris, Tosca delivers with quiet confidence.
