A restaurant for a birthday near Plan-de-Cuques: room comes first
Plan-de-Cuques is a residential town north-east of Marseille, next to Allauch. When you are planning a loved one's fortieth birthday there, the christening of the youngest or a colleague's leaving drinks, the first question is not the menu. It is space: finding a room where everyone fits together, where children settle in without disturbing the next table and where nobody is left standing for lack of a chair.
At Pepe Zino, the dining room seats 120, including 60 in the veranda. From 30 people, we set aside part of the restaurant for you. From 80 guests on weekdays, or 100 at weekends, the whole house is booked privately for you. The drive from Plan-de-Cuques takes 20 to 30 minutes depending on traffic: in return, you get a genuine big table, Italian food cooked on site and a single point of contact, from the first call to the coffee.
Capacities and packages are set out on our page about private hire for your events, so you can call with a clear idea of your guest count.
Italian celebration menus, built to measure with the chef
No group menu is imposed. Each event is prepared with the chef, according to the time of day, the number of guests and the mood you are after: an aperitif package for leaving drinks with colleagues, a lunch menu to bring two families together after a christening, a dinner menu for a birthday with friends, or an Italian buffet when guests would rather move from one dish to the next.
Behind these menus is the same cooking as the rest of the year: Italian chefs, an Italian manager and dishes that are 100% homemade. A large majority of the ingredients are imported directly from Italy, from extra virgin olive oil to DOP cheeses, from Italian cured meats to San Marzano tomatoes and flours. A celebration meal is still a meal: we make sure the antipasti board, the tomato sauce and the tiramisu live up to the occasion.
Pizzas, pasta and antipasti: a menu the whole table can agree on
Were you thinking of a pizzeria in Plan-de-Cuques to blow out the candles? At Pepe Zino, pizzas are served at the table only, on site, from the Marinara at €9 to the Pepe Zino at €18, our signature with mortadella, goat cheese and pistachio. Around them, the menu gives everyone something to choose from: a mixed board to share (€22 for two), focaccia and burrata (€9), Carbonara Roma with guanciale (€16), linguine Alla Vongole with clams (€17), then tiramisu, cannoli or rum baba for dessert.
Children are not forgotten: the €9 Menu Bambino includes a drink, pasta with tomato and basil sauce or a Margherita pizza, and a scoop of ice cream. High chairs are available for the youngest, a detail that really matters on the day of a christening or a first communion.
If it is the spirit of a trattoria you are after from Plan-de-Cuques, discover our trattoria in Aubagne and the way it welcomes guests. The pizza in Aubagne page presents our pizzas, and the full menu lists every dish with its price.
From 30 to 120 guests: a space suited to every kind of celebration
A big get-together with friends is not organised like a first communion for ninety. For a large table of around fifteen people, a booking is enough. From 30 guests, we set aside part of the restaurant so your party keeps its privacy. Beyond 80 people on weekdays, or 100 at weekends, full private hire leaves the whole dining room and veranda to your family and friends. Access is step-free and the toilets are adapted: grandparents with limited mobility reach the table without obstacles.
