9/10 Absolutely amazing. Even though it’s not exactly French food, kinda like French-Italian, it’s one of the best meals I’ve had in Marseille.
Sea bass tartare with lemon and hummus (14 EUR) - Fresh and tasty, umami and goes well with bread
Burrata Puglese and tomato cream (14 EUR) - Tasty, excellent
Octopus salad (15 EUR) - Best starter in my opinion. Octopus was fresh, lemon added a tangy sensation, chives and tomato added texture
Linguine all vongole (23 EUR) - clams were very fresh and sweet, pasta cooked just nice. Wished the pasta had abit more clam juice but still very good
Veal with tagliatelle (24 EUR) - Amazing creamy sauce blended well with the tender meat and pasta
Steak with fries (26 EUR) - sauce so concentrated with flavour, fries crispy yet soaked up the sauce well. Steak was juicy af"

"Otto !! Such a small restaurant with the best food in Marseille. We were searching for a restaurant last minute as we were visiting Marseille for one day and found this amazing restaurant. We were lucky enough to get a table without reservation but the restaurant was full after we sat down. The service was great so was the food . Everything we ordered was delicious and price was reasonable. I loved the octopus salad particularly."

10 meilleurs restaurants italiens à Marseille pour manger comme en Italie
Forte de son épanouissement dans le 6ème arrondissement, l’équipe de la Cantinetta a, quelques années plus tard, donné naissance au petit frère, Otto, qui a, quant à lui, décidé de s’établir dans l’ancienne cantine de l’illustre du cinéma et de la littérature française Marcel Pagnol. A Saint-Giniez, quartier résidentiel, bien établi et prisé du 8ème, cette charmante trattoria célèbre la dolce vita comme à la maison, avec une sélection de charcuterie et de fromages de premier choix et les classiques de la restauration italienne (artichauts crus ou frits, pâtes et poisson du jour, etc.) que vous humecterez volontiers avec un montepulciano ou un chianti classico.
