Guest sentiment
A snapshot of what local diners frequently mention about this location.
"Great authentic Italian food with friendly staff and situated in such a beautiful area. Definitely recommend visiting if you fancy a hearty wholesome meal."
"Fabulous fresh pasta, great service and amazing wines. Brilliant place."
"What a fabulous little intimate restaurant!! We ate here for dinner on Wednesday and were lucky we arrived early, as it filled up very quickly. The food, service and atmosphere make it definitely worth a visit. Aperitif, 1 entree to share, 2 pasta mains, 2 desserts and a bottle of wine for just over 100 Euro….can’t go wrong:)"
"A very small restaurant where you can enjoy probably the best pasta in Aix en Provence. Do not expect anything fancy here except authentic Italian taste ;)"
"We loved eating in this tiny restaurant. The food was delicious. Ravioli with a fish filling and gremolata sauce was superlative. Very friendly atmosphere too."
"We have eaten in many different Italian restaurants in many different places, and the food was excellent here. Well worth it."
"Incredible food in a charmingly small restaurant. The tomatoes in the bruschetta were some of the reddest and most flavorful I’ve ever had, the pasta was cooked perfectly with delicious sauces, and the cream of the tiramisu was fantastic. Where else can you get an appetizer, two meals, a bottle of wine, and tiramisu for €90?"
"It's a wonderful little restaurant. It is little though - maybe 20 covers - so make sure to book in advance. It's basically an Italian delicatessen by day and then in the evening the 2 owners serve their own products (namely cured meats, cheeses and pastas) to diners. The result is superb - the menu is small but delicious and very fairly priced. The 2 guys are great - clearly passionate about what they do. It was an unusual and very enjoyable experience. Highly recommended."
