On our last night in Marrakech 9 of us descended on this restaurant. The service was excellent even when one of our party didn't receive what they ordered it was changed. Owner gave me name of organic tomatoes that they use - which I will try in my greenhouse. Food was good quality Italian which is certainly good though I... More

Being a vegetarian, I was feeling done with Tagines and Couscous pretty quickly into our Marrakech trip, and this adorable place was just what I needed. Great food, friendly staff and was a perfect evening out.

We enjoyed two different pastas at this cute restaurant. The walls are filled with many framed posters from various countries. The food was tasty, and far better than most Italian restaurants in the US. It was also very reasonably priced for very generous portions. The other diners seemed to be locals, and most knew the owner well which indicates that... More

Went with two friends to this restaurant, for an evening meal. The service was very good, the menu was extensive (including elephant, which we were not tempted by!). We all chose different dishes, and had a taste of each one, all very good indeed. The owner came to see if we were happy with the food, and mentioned that the... More

A friend highly recommended that restaurant to us. Knowing her high culinary standards, we went right ahead and we were not disappointed at all. In fact, we were lucky to get a table at the last minute thanks to a football match. It is not a fancy 5 Stars restaurant but, you can't go wrong.

Not wanting to eat tagines or Cous Cous & having read the reviews for this restaurant we gave it a go. On arrival we were promptly greeted & seated & didn't have to wait long for the menu & drinks by Marrakech standards. The room had acFrench Bistro look, clean & tidy with a nice buzzy atmosphere. The owner came... More

Friendly little restaurant. Top quality food, we had the carpaccio (fish and beef), pasta and then superb puddings. profiteroles as big as your head! Really good and a fantastic surprise and treat if you are bored of slow cooked lamb.

I think this place could be fantastic if the prices were not so outrageous for what it is and the deco sooooo kitch and passé...Service is hit and miss too.

Sublime Italian in Marrakech that is a terrific alternative to the ubiquitous tagine (which I love). The owner is friendly and will tell you a lot about his sourcing, if you're interested as we were. Fantastic gnocchi and pasta. Friendly service. Cozy atmosphere.
