After an amazing stroll through the markets on Saturday, we came across this hidden Italian restaurant along one of the charming alleys in Aix-en-Provence. Although they were full, a table was coincidentally waiting for us.

He spoke Italian, French, and a little English, sometimes all in the same sentence, but we all laughed our way to...
