Livio is a Neuilly institution that's been serving Tuscan-inspired Italian cuisine since 1964, when Livio Innocenti first brought his family's recipes from Tuscany to France. What started as a tiny 17-seat trattoria has grown into a multi-room restaurant that still feels intimate, with the fourth generation now running the show. You'll find a lively, warm atmosphere where locals gather for generous portions of classic Italian dishes with a French touch.
A Neuilly Institution with Tuscan Roots
Livio has been a Neuilly-sur-Seine landmark for over 60 years, and it's easy to see why. The restaurant has expanded from its original tiny trattoria into a spacious venue with multiple dining rooms, yet it manages to maintain that warm, family-run feel that made it famous. The cuisine is rooted in Tuscan tradition but with a French sensibility that appeals to the local Neuilly crowd.
You'll find a bustling atmosphere, especially during lunch and dinner rushes, with attentive service that keeps things moving. The menu offers generous portions of classic Italian dishes - think handmade pasta, grilled meats, and traditional recipes passed down through four generations. While it can get busy and there might be a wait during peak times, the food quality and friendly service make it worth it.
The restaurant has successfully modernized while honoring its heritage, with contemporary touches that don't overshadow the family tradition. It's a reliable choice for anyone looking for authentic Italian cuisine in a lively, welcoming setting where locals have been dining for decades.
