Red Sauce
Italian restaurant — Porte Saint-Denis (Paris)
About
Red Sauce is an Italian-American restaurant nestled in the Cour des Petites Écuries in Paris's 10th arrondissement. Inspired by the « red sauce joints » born from Italian immigration to the United States, this concept—still unprecedented in Paris—celebrates tomato sauce as its star ingredient. The carefully curated retro décor blends vintage American diner aesthetics with village trattoria charm: red neon signs, crimson velvet banquettes, butter-yellow ceiling, old-school metal fans, and a luminous bar. Under Italian chef Idriss Laghlimi's direction, the generous and convivial menu showcases Detroit-style pizzas with crispy crusts and melted cheddar, croustillant all'assassina pasta, hearty meatballs, and a signature tomato sauce sundae. An accessible, trendy, and warm establishment that captures the essence of Italian-American culinary culture.
