Boccaccio — Restaurant in arrondissement d'Anfa مقاطعة أنفا

My wife and I decided to try something new for today. Went to Tripadvisor and found a nice rating for this place. Saw a Truffle Pizza on the menu and decided to give this place a try. We went there quite on an early Wednesday lunch. To say the least, we were suprised by how nice this place looks. The tables were clean, the blankets were very white (not yellowish or old-dirted as other places we have been in). The bathrooms were very neat and cozy.As for the menu, we went full on TRUFFLES! We had a the truffle pizza and the ravioli with truffle sauce. The service was professional and friendly. One thing that reaaaally bothered us though is that other guests can smoke and eat. The whole restaurant is a smoking area. We were lucky yo have two smokers when we were there, but I would imagine that in other occasions, this would be unbearable. Try it and tell me...

⚠️ ATTENTION : Boccaccio n’existe plus, remplacé par un restaurant médiocre

Ce restaurant n’existe plus sous le nom de Boccaccio. Il a été remplacé par Vicho’s, un établissement totalement différent, et malheureusement, c’est une énorme déception.

L’endroit est négligé, poussiéreux et mal entretenu. La décoration est en ruine, et le service est inexistant. Le personnel est assis au milieu du restaurant sans se soucier des clients.

L’ambiance est tout sauf agréable : une télévision allumée à plein volume, avec un individu assis au centre du restaurant, absorbé par un match de football, sans aucune considération pour les clients. On est loin d’un restaurant cosy et élégant.

Autre problème : les photos sur Google et Instagram sont trompeuses et ne reflètent pas du tout la réalité. En plus, lorsqu’on veut payer par carte bancaire, ils imposent un minimum de 100 dirhams, ce qui est inacceptable et non affiché.

Pour couronner le tout, une bière à 40 dirhams, c’est tout simplement abusé pour un tel service.

Boccaccio était un excellent restaurant, mais Vicho’s n’en est qu’une pâle imitation. Si vous recherchez l’ancienne qualité et ambiance de Boccaccio, vous serez très déçu. À éviter...

I heard the chef was from Italy so I had high expectations. I tried the "Sol" fish, which was presented in a smokey cover, but when he opened the cover, it was served in a paper foil with an aluminum tray.

This alone I would forgive, if the taste was great but it wasn't

Overall, it's a nice attempt, but I would not recommend this place (not factoring in the prices which are...
