This showstopping dessert features a perfectly executed chocolate soufflé with a molten chocolate center that flows onto the plate. The pistachio ice cream provides a nutty, complementary flavor and cool contrast. It's an Instagram-worthy finale that delivers on both presentation and taste.
Gloria's version of the Roman classic balances the saltiness of Pecorino Romano with generous cracked pepper. The pasta is perfectly al dente, and the cheese and pepper emulsion coats each strand evenly. Multiple reviewers specifically call out the sauce-to-pasta ratio as ideal, making this a standout rendition of the often-tricky dish.
These hand-rolled gnocchi are light and cloud-like, with generous black truffle shavings throughout. The preparation is simple to highlight the truffle's earthy aroma. Reviewers note the gnocchi melts on the tongue and the truffle provides a luxurious finishing touch without overwhelming the dish.
When white truffles are in season, this becomes the ultimate luxury pasta. The white truffle's distinctive aroma and subtle flavor profile complement the light gnocchi base beautifully. This seasonal special appears frequently in 'must-try' recommendations during fall months.
A simple but refined version of this Italian favorite. Quality vanilla ice cream is used, and the espresso is freshly prepared, creating the perfect interplay of temperatures and flavors. At just €9, it's an excellent way to finish a meal or enjoy a lighter dessert option.
Gloria Osteria is the Big Mamma group's most ambitious Paris location, occupying a former Art Deco post office on the chic Rue de Lille. The restaurant channels 1970s Milan with zebra carpets, monumental chandeliers, and vintage Italian design. Under chef Francesco Fronda's direction, the menu celebrates authentic Italian cuisine with modern flourishes, featuring signature dishes like cacio e pepe, black truffle pasta, and housemade pasta preparations.
Reserve well ahead for Friday and Saturday dinner—this is a destination restaurant. The weekday lunch service is more accessible for casual visits.
The restaurant shines with family-style sharing. Order multiple pastas and sides to share—this is how the Big Mamma group's restaurants are designed to be enjoyed.
The cocktail program is creative. Try the Pesto Dry Martini or Burrata Gin Ramos—they're not generic applications of ingredients but thoughtfully balanced.
The 70s glamorous design is eye-catching but loud. Come when you want to celebrate and enjoy the energy, not for a quiet conversation.
