Italian Restaurant Near Cassis: Pepe Zino, the Trattoria in Aubagne

Cassis, a jewel of the Provencal coast, is renowned for its spectacular calanques, colourful harbour and exceptional AOC wines. When looking for an Italian restaurant near Cassis offering truly authentic cuisine, Pepe Zino in Aubagne is the answer. Just 20 minutes from Cassis via the D559 and A50, our trattoria is the favourite Italian gastronomic destination for Cassis visitors and Calanques hikers.

After the Cassis Calanques, Head to Italian Gastronomy

The Cassis calanques are among the most visited natural sites in France. After a day exploring the turquoise waters of Port-Miou, Port-Pin and En-Vau, appetites are strong. Pepe Zino offers generous and comforting Italian cuisine, perfect for refuelling after physical activity. Instead of crowding into a busy port restaurant where parking is nearly impossible in season, take the A50 for 20 minutes and find yourself in our spacious 120-seat restaurant with free parking.

Italian Cuisine that Complements the Cassis Terroir

Cassis is a village of gastronomy. Its world-renowned AOC white wine pairs beautifully with Mediterranean dishes. At Pepe Zino, we share this passion for fine food and wine. Our wine list features a refined selection of Italian and regional wines. You can combine a Cassis AOC tasting in the afternoon with an authentic Italian dinner at our restaurant in the evening.

Our menu celebrates all the regions of Italy, from creamy Pugliese burrata and Piedmontese carpaccio to fresh daily pasta, Neapolitan pizzas with 48-hour risen dough, and homemade dolci including tiramisu and Sicilian cannoli.

Parking: The Key Advantage for Cassis Visitors

Any regular visitor to Cassis knows parking is the village's biggest challenge. In summer, finding a spot can take 30 minutes or more. At Pepe Zino, free parking welcomes all our guests with direct access from the motorway exit. This practical advantage, combined with our exceptional cuisine and reasonable prices, explains why more and more Cassis visitors make the detour to Aubagne.
