Guest sentiment
A snapshot of what local diners frequently mention about this location.
"The pizzas were huge and good value for money. The location next to a fountain is quite charming. However, if you like authentic Napoli pizzas then this is not for you!"
"Stumbled upon this place (mistaking it for one of the two other restaurants adjacent to this) but had a wonderful late lunch:-) The salad I had was a big portion and tasted good. The service was great and even though the restaurant was closed for a break between lunch and dinner, they kindly let me stay to finish my rose"
"My daughter and I had a pleasant meal in this restaurant last night. The service was friendly and efficient. They accepted that we dine with our dog inside cause it was freezing outside. They gave him a bowl of fresh water as soon as we sat down. The food was simple but nice, fresh produce which was well prepared. The waitress was very friendly and got on well with my daughter. We were offered a digestif at the end of our meal which is more and more rare nowadays in most restaurants. I would definitely recommend."
"I always make a point of going to this restaurant when I visit Aix. I love the salmon calzone (which is huge!!!!!) and I can never finish it, buts it’s very nice. The place is great for sitting outside but it can get busy which makes some of the staff a bit cranky and it reflects on the service. I go in the winter too and sit inside. I have been going to this restaurant for over 10 years, yet the staff don’t recognise my loyalty Pizzas are great and I would encourage you to give it a go."
"Delightful restaurant. Very welcoming and easily accommodated party of 6 adults & 3 kids under 7. We dined in the outside restaurant, the chairs were slightly ‘hard’ but that’s a minor critique at best. Fully recommend this place with their pizzas representing great value for money"
"Great French and Italian food. Massive menu from pizza, Meats to salads. Lovely outdoor terrace to sit under big umbrellas. staff very attentive and helpful. Large servings. kids meal for 10€ consisting of a pizza and ice cream. today we ordered the ham and cheese pizza and chevre and honey salad."
"Very good service and food. Perfect for a nice dinner, if you are in Aix! We had Ravioli safran and gnocchi citron"
"I always come here for the pizza truffe. Best thing in the world!!"
