Marseille: a little trattoria happiness | Gilles Pudlowski’s blog
Created exactly 15 years ago by Pierre-Antoine Denis, a pure autodidact, lover of Italy, this Marseille trattoria, located about ten minutes on foot from Saint-Charles station, is more than charming. There is the old-fashioned bistro setting, revisited on trend, with its wooden chairs, its well-topped tables, its photos evoking a timeless Italy on the wall, its chosen lighting, its summer garden, its marble counter. The atmosphere is cheerful, young, cheerful.
The kitchen doesn’t cheat. Made from extra-fresh and quality products, it offers daily pleasures called grilled vegetable antipasti, arugula and parmesan with bresaola, Apulian burata on tomatoes with its pretty tomato coulis, risotto of the day, rigatoni all’arrabiata, linguine alle vongol. We add the scaloppine with speck and mozzarella, the fish of the moment, the tiramisu, the hazelnut vacherin or the “Piedmontese” (with hazelnut ice cream, chocolate sauce, grilled almonds, whipped cream).
The choice of wines on the slate gives pride of place to all of Italy without breaking the bank. With a primitivo from Puglia from Lucarelli, fruity as the wave, at 5 €, we have fun, without breaking the bank, for a little moment of happiness.
