When you're looking for an Italian restaurant around La Rotonde in Aix-en-Provence, you often want an easy landmark to find, genuine Italian cuisine and a table where you can sit down without any fuss. Di Micheli answers that wish from its family trattoria on Place des Cardeurs, a few minutes' walk from the La Rotonde fountain. La Rotonde marks the entrance to the historic centre: by heading up the Cours Mirabeau and then into the pedestrian lanes, you reach us in the heart of the old town.
Our signature remains contemporary Neapolitan pizza. The dough ferments for 48 hours at 70% hydration before spending a few moments in our wood-fired oven heated to 450°. This fast, intense bake gives a supple dough, slightly puffed at the edges and easy to digest. Around the pizza, we work a deliberately tight menu of antipasti, fresh pasta and homemade desserts, with fresh produce and no frozen pasta.
Beyond a meal for two or on your own, Di Micheli also welcomes groups and events. Our private room seating 24 and our 20-seat terrace lend themselves to family meals, birthdays and corporate dinners, with tailor-made menus. It's a handy option if you arrange to meet your guests near La Rotonde before joining a table reserved just for you.
Open since September 2021, our trattoria is driven by a team of five people who love cooking Italian without shortcuts. Whether you come down from the Cours Mirabeau for lunch or are looking for dinner after a walk through the centre, you'll find the same homemade cuisine in a relaxed, family atmosphere.
