Italian lunch near La Valentine: the €14 Lunch Set
Whether you work there or come to shop, La Valentine runs to the rhythm of its large retail hub, and the lunch break comes with constraints: a budget to stick to, a time to be back at work, and the wish to sit down to a proper hot dish rather than eat on your feet. The Lunch Set was designed for exactly that moment.
For €14, Monday to Friday, you choose a drink and a main course from six dishes on the menu. On the pizza side: the Marinara (tomato sauce, garlic, oregano), the Margherita (tomato sauce, mozzarella, basil) or the Regina, topped with mushrooms and cooked ham. On the pasta side: Cacio e Pepe spaghetti with pecorino cream and black pepper, Arrabbiata spaghetti spiced up with red chilli, or casarecce with Pesto di Liguria, fresh basil, pine nuts and almonds.
Were you rather looking for a pizzeria near La Valentine? The three pizzas in the set are a good way in, and the rest of the range, from the Diavola to the Pepe Zino, our signature with mortadella, goat cheese and pistachio, is presented on our Aubagne pizza page. One useful detail: everything here is enjoyed at the table, on the premises.
Italian chefs and Italian products, even at lunchtime
A fixed price does not mean cut-price cooking. The chefs are Italian, so is the manager, and everything that leaves the kitchen is homemade, from Monday lunch to Sunday dinner. Whether you order the set or a dish from the menu, your plate comes from the same stoves and the same team.
A large majority of our products come directly from Italy: extra virgin olive oil, PDO cheeses, Italian cured meats, San Marzano tomatoes, flours. That was the wish of Pepe Zino, the grandfather of the two founders: to share the family's real Italian recipes, generously and convivially. The story of the house tells where this table comes from.
Business lunches, seminars and team building for teams from eastern Marseille
Hosting a client, bringing a department together or celebrating the end of a project: lunch remains the simplest moment to do it. Book a table for four or for ten, then let everyone choose from the menu, between the Carbonara Roma with guanciale at €16, the Alla Vongole linguine with clams at €17 or the Tartufo casarecce with truffle cream at €16, or keep to the set for everyone.
For a seminar or team building, the restaurant can be partly privatised from 30 guests, and entirely from 80 guests on weekdays or 100 at weekends, with a tailor-made menu. Formats and capacities are detailed on our private hire and events page.
For payment, meal vouchers are accepted, as are bank cards (Visa, Mastercard, American Express) and cash. And if your diary lets you pick the day, aim for a lunch from Tuesday to Thursday: these are generally the quietest services, ideal for an unhurried conversation.
A 120-seat restaurant for the lunch break, and for dinner with the family
The restaurant has 120 seats, 60 of them in the veranda. Access is step-free, the toilets are adapted for people with reduced mobility and high chairs are ready for the youngest guests. At lunchtime, colleagues settle in together; in the evening, after a day spent on the east side of Marseille, families and friends come back for dinner, served from 7:00 PM to 10:30 PM.
For children, the Menu Bambino at €9 brings together a drink, pasta with tomato and basil sauce or a Margherita pizza, then a scoop of ice cream. To finish, tiramisu, cannoli or panna cotta, an Italian gourmet coffee for those with a sweet tooth, or simply a €2 espresso before hitting the road again.
