Wood-fired Neapolitan pizza

Homemade fresh pasta
Kneaded and cooked on site, our fresh pasta accompanies a contemporary Italian cuisine, with no frozen pasta.
A tight menu, fresh produce
We work a short menu by choice: fewer dishes, but fresh produce and unapologetically homemade cooking at every service.

An Italian restaurant in the Vieil Aix, Place des Cardeurs
The Vieil Aix is the historic, pedestrian heart of Aix-en-Provence, made of lanes, small squares and terraces where people love to wander.

Alongside the pizzas, we serve homemade fresh pasta, antipasti and Italian desserts such as tiramisu. Everything rests on a deliberately tight menu and fresh produce, with no frozen pasta: fewer dishes, but the taste of homemade cooking on every plate, in the spirit of Italian trattorias.
