Choose Sormani if the same €€€ Italian category fits better by neighborhood or room preference. Choose Vinello when value matters more than formality. Choose Le George or Il Ristorante - Niko Romito when the meal is meant to feel like the main event and the higher price tier is acceptable.
Tutto is less useful as a direct Paris comparison because it sits outside the local metro set and uses a different currency band, but it helps frame the casual Italian end of the spectrum.
