The Splendido



The Big Mamma group is opening its largest trattoria of any country in Marseille. The Splendido was inspired by the world of the circus to give its customers a unique experience from the dining room to the toilets... As soon as you enter the restaurant, you will be amazed with an imposing bar several meters high.



The establishment is huge, it covers 1,400 m² with a total capacity of 450 seats in total. The summer terrace is very pleasant and the waitresses and waiters, almost all of Italian origin, are top notch. Inside, all the objects and posters were found at antique dealers, second-hand dealers or collectors in Europe and in Italian flea markets.


The Splendido's mission is to bring Italy to life through the atmosphere of the restaurant and its dishes. The specialties of the house are real Neapolitan pizzas cooked over a wood fire, anti-pasti and desserts, such as the classic tiramisu, a must in Italy. The Big Mamma company has been working for 7 years with Italian producers, without intermediaries to guarantee the quality of the products served, such as Parma ham, mozzarella, parmesan... The menu changes slightly with each season, in order to serve fresh products. In homage to Marseille and seafood, the menu also offers a whole bar roasted in the oven, the giga skewer of cuttlefish or even a revisit of the famous bouillabaisse.



For going to the toilet, a world apart has been imagined so that the technical break becomes an experience in its own right. I won't spoil the whole scene for you, but the detour is definitely worth it. You can also enjoy a photo booth near the sinks to keep nice memories of your evening.


I advise you to book via the website, it is often crowded.

Address: 6-18 Rue de la République, 13001 Marseille
