Dinner on the terrace at Ti Amo Place d’Italie

Place d’Italie: Why Its Terrace Is the Best-Kept Secret for Your Summer Dinners

Place d’Italie, with its imposing circular architecture and bustling urban energy, is often seen as the beating, hurried heart of the 13th arrondissement. Yet, as soon as the temperatures cool and the sun begins its slow descent behind the Parisian rooftops, the neighborhood transforms. The hustle and bustle of the boulevards gives way to an unexpected sense of tranquility.

It is against this backdrop that the Ti Amo terrace reveals its charms. Much more than just an outdoor space, it becomes an extension of Italy right in the heart of Paris, a refuge where one comes to seek coolness, culinary delights, and that unique sensation that time can finally stand still.

An Italian-style terrace: The art of seeing and being seen

Taking a seat on the terrace at Ti Amo Place d’Italie means treating yourself to a front-row seat to Parisian life, all while being sheltered by a bubble of conviviality. The layout was designed to recreate the atmosphere of the squares in Rome or Florence: a blend of simplicity, relaxed elegance, and human warmth.

• An invitation to slow down: In a world that’s always moving too fast, our terrace is a “low-pressure” zone. Here, we’ll never rush you to clear your table.
• The perfect setting for every occasion: Whether it’s a romantic first date under the city lights, a large, boisterous, and joyful gathering of friends, or an impromptu evening after leaving the movies, the space adapts to your mood.

The air feels lighter, the laughter louder, and you’ll find yourself watching the ballet of passersby with a newfound serenity, a drink in hand.

Italian pasta: A celebration of indulgence

While the name Ti Amo immediately brings to mind artisanal pizza, our terrace is also the setting for another Italian passion: pasta. For us, a plate of pasta isn’t just a dish—it’s a declaration of love for tradition.

Dining al fresco with a steaming plate of pasta is a complete sensory experience. Ti Amo’s menu showcases recipes where the quality of the raw ingredients is the only star:

1. The balance of the sauces: Whether made with sun-kissed tomatoes, aged pecorino, or fresh basil, our sauces are simmered to delicately coat every fusillo or linguine.
2. The authenticity of the recipes: We honor the classics. No unnecessary frills, just a commitment to the right proportions and cooking times to achieve al dente perfection.
3. Generosity: In Italy, we cook to bring joy. Our portions are designed to satisfy even the heartiest appetites, because indulgence should know no bounds.

Enjoying pasta al fresco means letting the aromas waft through the evening breeze, making every bite even more memorable.

Cocktails and Spritz: Time for the "Dolce Vita"

A dinner on the terrace without the right drink would be like a song without a melody. At Ti Amo, the drink menu is an extension of our cuisine: fresh, colorful, and authentic.

The emblem of our early evenings is undoubtedly the Spritz. With its iconic orange hue and refreshing bitterness, it’s the perfect companion for sunny evenings. But our bar goes far beyond that:

• The Negroni and the classics: For those who prefer bolder, more complex flavors.
• House creations: Cocktails designed to pair perfectly with the saltiness of a pizza or the creaminess of a pasta dish.
• Selection of Italian wines: From a mineral-driven white from Sicily to a deep red from Puglia, every glass is an invitation to travel.

Enjoying an aperitif on the terrace at Ti Amo is like allowing yourself a moment to unwind before diving into dinner proper. It’s the moment when conversations come alive and the stress of the day finally melts away.

A dinner that stretches out, just like on vacation

Why are vacation meals always the best? Because we lose track of time. That’s the philosophy we embrace at Place d’Italie.

When the neighborhood lights come on and the terrace glows, the atmosphere becomes almost magical. We order dessert—a homemade tiramisu or a melt-in-your-mouth panna cotta—just to prolong the pleasure. We order one last coffee, or a little Italian digestif, because we’re feeling good.

At that very moment, you forget that you’re just a few steps away from the subway and shopping centers. You’re somewhere else. You’re at ease.
