Your midday break
Four ways to have lunch with us
An hour, sometimes less: lunch leaves no room for the approximate. The menu stays short, the plates go out to order, and nothing is watered down on standards.
The Neapolitan pizza
Dough fermented for 24 hours at 70% hydration, a few seconds in the wood-fired oven at 480°. Light and digestible: exactly what midday asks of it.
The fresh pasta
Kneaded and cooked on site, tossed to order. No frozen pasta enters our kitchen, at lunch or at dinner.
The antipasti
Burrata, cured ham, grilled vegetables: enough to open the meal with sharing when time allows.
The homemade desserts
Tiramisu and Italian sweets prepared on site. Lunch deserves its last plate too.
Pausa pranzo
Midday on Place des Cardeurs
Right in the pedestrian centre, inside or on the 90-seat terrace. A short walk from the historic centre, lunch is taken calmly and still leaves on time.
Lighter, if you like
Lunch without weighing down the afternoon
Not everyone wants a pizza at midday, and that is perfectly fine. Our menu also makes room for composed salads and antipasti: fresh plates, dressed to order, with the same produce as the rest of the service.
That is the whole point of our 24-hour fermented dough: long fermentation pre-digests the sugars in the flour. Even a Neapolitan can be eaten at midday without weighing on the afternoon.

A word from the trattoria
The Di Micheli lunch menu, Place des Cardeurs
At Di Micheli, lunch is lived as a real moment of Italian cooking, with no shortcuts. Since our family trattoria opened in September 2021, our team of five has welcomed regulars and passing visitors in Aix-en-Provence, at midday and in the evening. At lunch you find the same standard as at dinner: a wood-fired Neapolitan pizza, homemade fresh pasta and fresh produce, served on Place des Cardeurs, right in the heart of the pedestrian centre.
Our menu is deliberately short. We would rather offer fewer dishes, but prepared with fresh produce and no frozen pasta. Our pizza dough ferments for 24 hours at 70% hydration before spending a few seconds in the wood-fired oven at 480°, which makes it lighter and more digestible — perfect for a lunch you want generous without being heavy. Every plate is prepared to order, so your midday break keeps all its flavour.
Lunch suits a meal for two just as well as a moment with colleagues or family. Inside or on our 90-seat terrace, you enjoy a simple, warm setting a short walk from the historic centre of Aix-en-Provence. For groups, our private room seating 28 and our tailor-made menus make it easy to organise a company or family lunch without a false note.
Italian cuisine is a living heritage we draw on every day. To explore its full range, browse Italian cuisine on Wikipedia, then come and find it on our plates at midday.
At midday, the meal can begin with the antipasti, continue with fresh pasta or a Neapolitan pizza, and end with a homemade dessert. For the full picture, see our Italian cuisine in Aix-en-Provence.
