Italian in 11th, 12th, 3rd or 4th

[Shira]

To make a long story short, I need a restaurant to take my kosher/pescetarian (non-seafood) father to this Friday night which is in walking distance of my apartment. (I'll arrange to prepay.) Given that he's also a conservative eater, I thought Italian would provide some good choices. Here's what I know of in a 30-minute walking radius from Ledru Rollin. The place should take reservations and be at least reasonably good--doesn't need to be fancy or particularly expensive.

Would be grateful for any feedback/recommendations. The northern 11th/Oberkampf area is a possibility as well, but it's not really my 'hood.

Thanks, Shira

Sardegna a Tavola, rue de Cotte (seems quite expensive--are the portions huge?)

L'Amis de Messina, faubourg St Antoine

Gli Angeli, rue St Gilles

Fuxsia (the one on Francois Miron)

Amicei Mei , the pizza place on rue St Sabin (don't think they take reservations, though)

that Sardinian place on rue de roi de Sicilie

You could try Caffè dei Cioppi which was just written up in the Fooding by Sébastien Demorand. It is right near Ledru Rollin.
