BoboLivo, Restaurant and pizzeria in the 2nd arrondissement of Marseille, France
BoboLivo is a small restaurant with a rounded facade and a fireplace in the 2nd arrondissement of Marseille. Inside, the room feels like an old brasserie, with informal seating and a wood oven used for pizzas made from slow-risen dough.
BoboLivo opened in February 2005 as a small brasserie-style eatery. In 2010, Julien Pauly took it over and retained the fireplace and the warm service that regulars had come to expect.
The restaurant has kept its old charm, with a fireplace that makes the space feel familiar and warm. Diners often sit close together, sharing pizzas, baked cheeses, and grilled sardines as if at a neighborhood gathering.
Call ahead to reserve a table, especially in the evening, because the room fills up with locals. The staff is quick to help and can suggest dishes based on what you like.
One pizza recipe includes glacier ice in the dough, which keeps the crust thick and soft during baking. The wood oven then gives the edge a crisp finish that most visitors do not expect.
