Little Italy Marrakech — Restaurant in Marrakesh Prefecture

Eating here was a very bizarre and uncomfortable experience for my wife and I. We called in advance to the phone number on their website, in case they required reservations, but the number was out-of-service. Since nothing on their website suggested that reservations were required, we decided to just go that evening. So, down an dark and mostly empty street we walked until we arrived at what appeared to be a converted villa. We entered the restaurant but no one was there to greet us so we just started looking around for an empty table (the restaurant was mostly empty at around 9pm on a Saturday, their supposed peak time). Eventually, we were intercepted by waiters who repeatedly said "hello", asked us if we had a reservation (we, of course, didn't) and we informed them we didn't because their phone didn't work. They said this was "impossible," that they were fully booked, and that we should wait over "here" (despite having no waiting area) to see if they could find us a table. There were a few tables marked 'reserved' and many tables which we were unmarked & empty. The waiters went away and we decided to keep looking for an unoccupied and unreserved table. Eventually, we found one but a waiter returned and decided to seat as a table was was supposedly marked 'reserved'. He asked us if we wanted water or wine but when we declined, he immediately proceeded to remove the glasses from the table before even giving us menus. He eventually returned with menus, displaying a serious and condescending demeanor. Eventually, we ordered and the food & drinks came very quickly. We heard the chef speaking Italian in the kitchen and the pizza we had was pretty good. As we were eating, another couple entered the restaurant and we overheard the same waiter tell them that they should have made a reservation. The restaurant remained pretty empty the whole time we were there. Eventually, when it was time to pay, the waiter held the credit card machine up and stared deep into my eyes with an angry expression (maybe even the evil eye). I assumed he was ready for me to tap my card, so I held it up but then he said "wait" and proceeded to type in the amount since he hadn't already. In conclusion, we ate quickly and left as soon as we could. The food and drinks were quite good but the experience was ruined by rude and...

Bling bling and that's it.

The restaurant is indeed quite nice, with an interesting view of the kitchen. It is kind of show cooking style, which doesn't really match with Italian cuisine. We were there with a couple of friends, a table of 6, and everything went wrong.

The service was below average and the organization was a disaster. Waiters were not able to provide enough menu for everyone so we had to pass them around, at some point the waiter proceeded to put the red wine into an ice bucket (???) and when we asked for more bread, the waiter said they were our of stock because of a the Moroccan family.m seating next table.

Regarding the food, it was simply terrible and overpriced. The Rigatoni weren't cooked enough, on the other side the Gnocchi were cooked too much and lacked seasoning. The pizza was okay-ish, the dough wasn't evenly cooked. Ricotta and spinach ravioli didn't had any ricotta...

Overall the price to quality and quantity ratio is REALLY low. The meals are poorly dressed, very few effort are made to make the plate appetizing. There is an obvious lack of delicacy and refinement in the kitchen, and nothing can make up for that.

You can't have a such bad opening in a city filled with great...

The food was delicious that I can’t forget it even after days of being there. They greeted us with a delicious potato appetiser and our mains where ME RA VI GLI OSIII🤩😋, I hope they will keep the same quality because the next time I will be in Marrakech I definitely want to be back. My daughter loved her pasta bolognese that I tried and it was soo good, my main was a delicious chicken so full of flavour with side vegetables not over cooked just perfect but the amazing bonus was their Tiramisù, I will be back just to try it again it was sublime. Everything was nice the service of the guys was kind and attentive the only thing that was a bit unfortunate is that a sandstorm started while we where there so after finishing our meal we couldn’t leave straight away so we felt a bit awkward around the staff, so we waited a bit and then decided to call a taxi and leave during the storm, but for the rest super good. Shoutout to the founder of this amazing gem in Marrakech please keep up with this...
