Fosca Bar & Cafe in Johannisthal

Good location,great stuff,great food.Merci/Grazie Raga!

I spent great time with my friends savouring delicious italian Pizza. Mustapha Choukri served us with very welcoming manner .. We just felt at home.

Now this was fantastic! Me and my wife were absolutely amazed by the taste and quality of the food, we will definitely be coming back. Our server Choukri made us feel at home and even spoke really good German! Thanks to the team for the great food and service.

Less than average and cold pizza. Place is overpriced and service is ok.

Sadly, just average to maybe just above-average… we went twice – first on a Friday afternoon and the staff were attentive and friendly, not too many people at all, but the food was somewhat ordinary, nothing wrong, just not amazing. Saturday night, we went again — as we were walking out of the hotel, the concierge handed us a 20% off coupon, not that it made any difference to me, but it raised questions later, after dinner.The place was quite crowded, and the staff were clearly feeling the strain, especially since it looked like only two people were serving and one of them was minding the bar. A very long wait to order and an equally long wait for service… people were actually leaving before getting served. At one point, although there were still some tables available, several people were turned away at the door — prime time Saturday night, no less.The food, once it had arrived, was fine, but when a dish is supposed to feature aubergine, one expects more than four tiny bites in it. Pasta isn’t hard to do and both of our dishes were done well (aside from the aubergine stinginessbut nothing stellar.So we got to wondering how many others there had been given coupons and was it an attempt to drum up flagging business, possibly due to poor management of the restaurant? Nothing “wrong “ with the food, there was clearly an issue with the staff.It’s a shame, as being right next door to the hotel, they’d have a captive audience… something quite clear when looking at the café on the OTHER side of the hotel… but that’s for another review, another day.

Nice restaurant. The dishes are not really italian, but the portions are quite enormous. The tiramisu was very delicious just like homemade italian dessert.

Food was ok. A bit expensive. A pizza and a ceasar salad each 14€, a coke is 4,9€.

The food is excellent!!! We had lasagne and a pasta dish both were amazing.

Had the spaghetti bolognese twice in 4 days. Perfectly cooked pasta and excellent tiramisu. Best last meal in Paris.

Good location: adjacent to gare de Lyon.Friendly, nice staff. Price is on point. Good was delicious and nice portions. We had the Caesar salad with chicken and the pienne avec trois fromage. We left full! Any one by itself would have been enough. Ive been to France 7 times and have never eaten at the same place twice but this place has me wanted to break that rule.

Directly in front of the station, so practical.I ordered a pina colada and it was just bad. To sweet, not really appealing. Barely average.Meeeh wont come back, ever.

Horrible pizza. Way to much cheese. Only good part was the dough.

This unassuming little resto by the Gare de Lyon is simply amazing. The prices are lower than other nearby eateries, and the food is divineTry the lasagna if you are ok with every other lasagna you have in your life not measuring up. It is that good.

We were here 2 weeks before this posting and we are glad we went. Cozy atmosphere, best lasagna I have ever had, great price, short distance from the train station. Lovely mozzarella platter and coffee too.

Grest food and service. Friendly and multi-lingual staff.

Nice place, nice food

The pizza is fantastic !!! Must go!!! Highly recommendable !!!

Stayed at The Hotel Terminus Lyon, had a long day and didnt feel like walking to far, the concierge suggested the Fosca and offered a 20% discount card, the pizza and veal with pasta and mushrooms were excellent! Glad we didnt walk any further than out the front door, service was great!

Average food, service is good

Very good pizza and carbonara pasta!

Best pizza and coke around the train station they also have food like pasta, Lasagna , andspaghetti recommend eating here

Thank you for the nice evening. Very delicious dishes and the staff is really kind and wellcoming the new guests with smile ;)

Excellent service and wonderful pasta and pizza!

The food wars really delicious. The staff was very friendly. The size of the meal with big and enough. We would come again!

I was ignored for 20 minutes at this restaurant I got up to find a waiter to take my order . Plenty other restaurants around . With much better service . Food is ok

Very good Italian cuisine, great dishes, great and friendly staff and very nice setting. Good prices. I highly recommend it.

Great little restaurant! Very friendly staff and a diverse enough menu to accommodate families with small children and picky eaters, without compromising a wide selection for those who want a full Paris experience and cocktails. We loved our waiter and have been there twice. They were very good with children despite not being a restaurant for kids.

Great food!!! My friends and I had a nice time and a good lunch there

Waiter was attentive and efficient. He was helpful in exploring menu with Americans. I had the steak and fries, slightly above average. My friends dining had a homemade lasagna which made me drool just by looking at it and they confirmed its satisfaction. Yummy!!!!

Very Good pepperoni Pizza ,(more American than Italian though ..).. very avoidable camembert salad .. highly avoidable chocolate mousse .. dependable for Pizza.

Tasty. We enjoyed our pasta, salad, and calzones. Very affordable.

Definitely catered to folks arriving or departing Gare de Lyon. Service wasnt great, and the food was fine, but very, very oily -- very average. I wouldnt go here again, given all the other options nearby.

Mom Id and team were terrific. Food excellent

Nice place! Good italian Food.

The staff was very nice. We got carry out. The calzones we enjoyed more than the pizza. We were able to communicate with English and child like French.

Great and quick service for sure. Waiter spoke English making our order a lot easier and pleasant

Food was very good as well as dessert. Service was very attentive , loved it.

Great staff. Good food. Friendly.

Delicous pizza quick friendly courteous service for take out and dine in. i dont speak French and they where very accommodating and friendly. Pizza was so good I had it twice. Im a New Yorker and am picky with pizza. Pasta dishes looked great too. Would.have tried them on a 3rd visit if I wasnt returning to the states.

Nice Italian. Good food. Bit touristy

Very disappointing. First time in Paris and this restaurant was close to our hotel. After a exhausting day of traveling, we were excited to grab a bite to eat and we stopped at this restaurant. The food was okay. However, we were rushed out of this restaurant. A man who worked here would keep walking by us checking his watch and constantly told us how the kitchen was closing, even though we had already ordered dinner. The restaurant still had other families at tables so it wasn’t like we were the ones holding them up from closing. I have never been rushed like that to leave a restaurant. I have never been treated so disrespectfully in a restaurant either. I never write reviews but after my experience here tonight by being shoved out the door 20 min before closing time, I wanted others to know. Not a good start to my vacation in Paris.

With a little salt the food was good. Drinks are pretty expensive. $4.50+ for a soft drink. The staff was very attentive and kind which made up for any other deficiencies. Good place for an air conditioned meal on a hot summer day. They have free WiFi for data hungry wanderers. Conveniently located in front of the Gare de Lyon station.

Delicious food ! Good Price and nice people

Nice food but service is slow

A Sambuca is the right way to finish it! People attentive. Like it

Avoid this place like the plague. I cant be sure if related, but as soon as we spoke english the waiter became extremely rude. We ordered a pizza, as a light snack, and the the waiter became upset that we didnt order one each when we asked the size of the pizza (about 14"). The pizza was soggy and was not left to sit out of the oven long enough to harden. The restaurant was not busy, only 5 tables were seated with no more than 4 people each, yet the waiter rushed around like he was in some sort of race. As an American, who worked in the food service industry, I typically tip 17% just for being polite, but here I would be doing a disservice with such a reward.Edited after the check: €4,50 for a coke. When I paid, €20,50 on €18,50 for a pizza and coke the waiter says with an attitude "here is all your money back". I was going to tip €2, but that comment put it over the top so I left €0,02. Waiters name was Kenyon, but looking at the other reviews the management knows about his behavior and does nothing about it.

Good food, if a little pricey for what it is, and good, attentive service. On the whole an excellent experience.

Dear Hippo Hip,I thank you for your comment that I would have preferred to avoid of course but that I take seriously and as I way to improve. I totally agree with the whole content of your message when it comes to service & attitude and believe me that we are trying our best to get the team up to level.I will talk to Kamal to make sure that kind of behavior never happens again. As a way to apologize and, I hope, be forgiven I would like to invite you and any person of your choice for a free lunch or dinner. If you come please let me know before so I can meet you personally.Sorry again for the bad service experienceLionel RollandOwner

The waiter was so impolite, foos wasnt that much good, compared to their prices.Their service was extremely awful

The pizza was decent, the Creme Brulee had the strangest texture. The wine was moderate tasting but overpriced. Would not go again. The service! The service as very inattentive yet somewhat friendly..
