An Italian meal
Four courses, one kitchen
In Italy, a meal is built. Ours too: the menu stays short so every course holds its own, from the first antipasto to the last dessert.
The antipasti
The meal opens with sharing: burrata, cured ham, grilled vegetables. Italian produce chosen short, plated to order.
The Neapolitan pizza
Dough fermented for 24 hours at 70% hydration, then a few seconds in the wood-fired oven at 480°. Light, digestible, served scorching hot.
The fresh pasta
Nothing frozen in our kitchen. The pasta is worked fresh and tossed to order, with sauces made the same day.
The homemade desserts
Tiramisu and Italian sweets are prepared on site. It is the last course you taste, and rarely the one you forget.
A tavola, finalmente
A trattoria in the pedestrian heart of Aix
Place des Cardeurs, lively and car-free, inside or on the 90-seat terrace. Since 2021, a team of five has served the same Italian cuisine here, lunch and dinner.
What you find on the table
Real Italian flavours, every day
Homemade fresh pasta
No frozen pasta ever enters our kitchen. Fresh produce, careful cooking, every plate dressed to order.
A deliberately short menu
Fewer dishes, done better: the short menu is a choice — freshness over a catalogue.
Desserts made on site
Tiramisu and Italian sweets come out of our kitchen, not a box. Dessert deserves the same work as the rest.
Groups and private events
A private room seating 28 and a 90-seat terrace for family meals, birthdays or company dinners, with tailor-made menus.
Lunch and dinner, all week
Monday to Sunday: lunch from 11h30-14h30 and dinner from 18h00-23h00, a short walk from the Cours Mirabeau.
At our place
We welcome you like family
Di Micheli is a family trattoria that opened in September 2021: five people in the dining room and the kitchen, a private room seating 28 and a 90-seat terrace on Place des Cardeurs. Come as a couple for a quick lunch, with the family at the weekend, or fifteen-strong with colleagues — we will make it work.
For group meals, birthdays and company dinners, we build a tailor-made menu with you. The rest of the time, a table is all you need: book in seconds, or give us a call.

Di Micheli's Italian table
Italian cuisine true to the Neapolitan tradition
Di Micheli's Italian cuisine draws on the Neapolitan tradition while staying resolutely contemporary. Since September 2021, our family trattoria has brought a team of five together around a single idea: serving honest Italian cuisine, a short walk from the historic centre of Aix-en-Provence. Everything starts with the dough, kneaded then left to ferment for 24 hours at 70% hydration, before going into the wood-fired oven at 480°.
Beyond pizza, our menu gives pride of place to fresh pasta, antipasti and homemade desserts. We keep the menu short by choice: fewer dishes, but fresh produce, careful cooking and no frozen pasta. That standard is what separates real Italian cuisine from plain fast food.
Whether you come as a couple for a quick lunch, with the family at the weekend or with colleagues in the evening, Di Micheli's Italian cuisine adapts. Place des Cardeurs, lively and car-free, is the ideal setting to linger on the terrace when the weather turns.
Italian cuisine is a living heritage, and ours draws on it daily. To understand its range better, explore Italian cuisine on Wikipedia, then come and taste it with us.
At Di Micheli, the meal begins with the antipasti, continues with fresh pasta or a Neapolitan pizza, and ends with a homemade dessert. At midday, enjoy the lunch deal.
