"Casa Bini: I’m no Parisian dining expert, but I don’t see how it can get much better for Italian than Casa Bini in St. Germain, close to the Latin Quarter. Casa Bini was recommended to me by the concierge at my hotel. I dropped in,...unannounced and without a reservation, around p.m., and was warmly welcomed and shown the restaurant for my preference of seating areas. I chose the small area in the back, and my waiter Nico quickly began taking excellent care of me. Nico was excellent throughout the evening. Not ever-present, but like a pro just there when I needed him. The evening began with some excellent Italian-style bread and olive oil. I usually prefer an Italian Bolgheri, but Nico recommended a different style of Sangiovese, and I’m glad I followed his suggestion. Having heard that Casa Bini is known for its fresh pasta, I ordered a spicy linguini with shrimp, with a tomato-based sauce. It was truly outstanding. While I did not quite finish my bottle of Sangiovese blend, the evening was topped off by a complimentary grappa! I don’t see what’s not to like here. The restaurant is small and quaint, on a quiet street, the fresh pasta is as good as its reputation, the service was excellent, and the prices are reasonable. I would unquestionably return to Casa Bini."
