A word from the trattoria
An Italian table at the gates of the Mazarin quarter
The Mazarin quarter unfolds its mansions and fountains south of the Cours Mirabeau. It is one of the finest parts of Aix-en-Provence, and one you gladly walk. Di Micheli sits just across the Cours, at 13 Place des Cardeurs: a few minutes on foot separate the streets of the Mazarin from our terrace, without ever getting back in the car.
The menu gives pride of place to wood-fired Neapolitan pizza, fresh pasta, antipasti and homemade desserts. Everything is prepared on site, with fresh produce and no frozen pasta. The short menu is a choice: fewer dishes, but controlled cooking and guaranteed freshness at every service.
Whether you live in the Mazarin or are spending the day there, Di Micheli adapts: a meal as a couple, lunch with colleagues, a family dinner or a private booking. The private room seats up to 28 and the terrace 90, ideal in fine weather on Place des Cardeurs, lively and car-free.
The Mazarin, laid out in the 17th century, keeps its grid plan and its listed façades. To learn more about the Mazarin quarter on Wikipedia, browse the dedicated page, then come and visit us on Place des Cardeurs.
Di Micheli is easy to reach from the town centre, on Place des Cardeurs, in the heart of old Aix and a short walk from the Cours Mirabeau.
