The 21 Best Restaurants In Marseille - Marseille - The Infatuation

"La Cantinetta serves homey, comforting Italian food in its secluded back patio, with a terracotta floor and Seussian tree. The vibe shifts when the tables move inside for winter, with its pine-colored walls with sconces and shiplap, vintage wooden bistro chairs, and well-stocked bar giving it a clubhouse feel. This place is always packed: a younger crowd swarms the patio in summer, including vacationers who hit the south for some sun and sea, while winter sees more locals, especially families. Big bowls of rigatoni arrabbiata and linguine alle vongole aren’t complicated nor reinventing the wheel, but are done well. Save enough room for a slice of the simple, perfect dark chocolate cake." - sophie friedman
