The owner Sebastian who speaks English well, a French man, was very nice and friendly helping us tired travelers with the menu.

The restaurant has a very warm ambiance with real trees sprouted from the ground. Large tarps serve as the "roof" of this restaurant. It's quite unique. Our party of 7 all ordered the lobster and linguine special as our entree. For appetizers, we ordered escargot, dumplings, salads, seabass, truffle pizza, and some other special local dishes. The food was amazing. What really stood out the most for me was the pizza with generous amounts of shaved black truffle. This was notably the best pizza I've had in my life. We had an assortment of desserts and wine. It was quite a memorable dinner!

I love this restaurant. As a first-time visitor to Marseille, we asked our hotel concierge for a…read morecasual but elegant place to dine in the city, and we were recommended to eat at La Villa for dinner. Not only did we love the place and the food that evening, we went back again and again that week! Everything was very tastefully done, from the entrees to the appetizers to the desserts, and the wait staff was unfailingly polite and helpful. And most of all, every item on the menu that we ate -- and we ate there about 3 times that week -- was absolutely delicious. I highly recommend La Villa to anyone visiting Marseille.

I was very disappointed by my experience at the La Mamma restaurant in La Ciotat…read more The most shocking thing is the staff's attitude. The servers are very pushy and constantly try to make you order more expensive dishes. Worse yet, they sometimes bring dishes that you didn't even order, while ignoring what you actually requested. After I was served a dish containing spoiled fish placed on top of something resembling vomit, I refused to eat it and ordered a salad instead. Not only did the staff fail to apologize or offer a complimentary replacement, but they also deceived me by bringing a much more expensive dessert than the one I had requested. When I pointed this out, they insisted that everything was fine and that this was exactly what I had ordered. You clearly get the impression that their priority is to increase the bill rather than satisfy their customers. This lack of respect for the customer's choice completely ruined our meal. I do not recommend this restaurant to those looking for honest and respectful service.
