Il Giardino d'Italia, who did pizzas (€8.90-€15.90), pastas (€7-€16), meat dishes (€13-€25), fish (€€13-€23) in a pleasant rooftop garden was popular amongst the white expats, probably due to the price range. On entry, a couple of bruschettas with olives and cold towel were a nice touch. The pasta portions were larger than average but pizzas were too saggy. The staff were a bit blase about everything. It was a nice little spot near the red light district in Saint-Denis, but the quality of the pizzas and the strange attitude of the staff does not quite make it for three thumbs.
