Italian restaurants in Casablanca: 8 places to try in 2026

“La Vera Pizza Napoletana”. Cucina Napoli's Instagram account sums itself up in that phrase, and the plate lives up to it. A dough with puffed, leopard-spotted crusts, baked in a wood-fired oven. Among the highlighted produce: San Marzano tomatoes and mozzarella. On Google, the boulevard Anoual location shows 4.5/5 from 1,871 reviews (September 2026). Alongside the pizzas, there's pasta, lasagne, ravioli and tiramisu. How much does it cost? In a video shot on boulevard Ziraoui in summer 2024, pizzas ranged from 85 DH (gamberi) to 110 DH (sette formaggi). That's because the brand has other locations: a pizzeria on boulevard Ziraoui, opposite the Lycée Lyautey, and another in the Palmiers neighbourhood. Delivery and takeaway available.

More than 700 m² facing the Hassan II Mosque. Pomo Dolce opened at the end of September 2024 at 61, boulevard de la Corniche. For the Italian side, the restaurant brought in Gennaro Nasti. This pizzaiolo comes from Secondigliano, in Naples. His Paris pizzeria, Bijou, took third place in the European 50 Top Pizza ranking in 2020. The French pastry, meanwhile, is down to Abdelkarim Mehiaoui, a finalist on the TV show “Le Meilleur Pâtissier”. What's on the menu? Homemade fresh pasta, wood-fired pizzas, risottos, and spaghetti alla Sophia with homemade meatballs. For dessert, a reinvented tiramisu or a deconstructed mille-feuille. People come from breakfast to dinner. There's a terrace on the Corniche and a kids' area. Google rating in September 2026: 4.6/5, from 1,243 reviews.

Want to eat Italian without spending too much? Restaurant Guru puts spending at between 50 and 150 MAD per person at Little Mamma, in the CIL. The Moroccan brand was born in 2018 and promises generous, affordable Italian cooking. Its boulevard Sidi Abderrahmane location was presented at the end of 2024 as its 20th restaurant. 250 m² and a terrace, designed as a showcase for the brand. On the plate, pizzas with well-risen dough and airy, nicely charred crusts. Pasta too, and ravioli, which reviews often mention. On Google, it's the highest-rated place in this list: 4.8/5 from 7,183 reviews (September 2026). Full? Little Mamma is also in Bourgogne, 2 Mars, rue Salim Cherkaoui and Jnane Californie.

The name says it all. At Au Four à Bois, at 20, rue Jean Jaurès, the pizzas go into a wood-fired oven at high temperature. The result: a dough that's crisp outside and soft inside. We're right in Gauthier, and the Où Sortir guide calls it a neighbourhood institution, with a crowd of regulars. But the menu goes well beyond pizza. Fresh pasta, risottos, escalopes, carpaccio or caprese to start. And in the restaurant's recent posts, osso buco, grilled meats, tiramisu and cheesecake. The setting? A classic brasserie: chandeliers, a wooden bar, white tablecloths. No terrace. Service runs non-stop from noon to midnight, with valet parking. Takeaway and delivery available. Google users give it 4.3/5, from 1,382 reviews (September 2026).

Brick walls, framed photos, metal pendant lights, red stools. Trattoria del Papa, at 6, rue d'Avignon, has everything of an urban trattoria. It opened in 2018 in the Racine neighbourhood. Its promise: traditional Italian cooking with French touches. On the table, pizzas to share, rigatoni, spaghetti carbonara, the chef's salads and a beef carpaccio. To finish, tiramisu, crème brûlée or chocolate fondant. On Google, it holds 4.4/5 from 803 reviews (September 2026). And on TripAdvisor, one review praises the owners' welcome. It's open for lunch and dinner. The restaurant also hosts evening events and delivers via Glovo.

How much for dinner at Briganti? Around 200 to 250 MAD per person, according to Restaurant Guru. This contemporary trattoria occupies a villa at 76, boulevard Driss Slaoui. It belongs to Groupe Mar, which also owns Enso, Darua and El Cenador. Two atmospheres. A sunny patio for big tables, and a more intimate room with brick, a glass roof and street art on the walls. The menu sticks to the classics. Wood-fired pizzas, homemade pasta, focaccia and burrata at aperitivo time, tagliata if you're more of a meat person, tiramisu for dessert. Themed evenings come round regularly. Remember to book at the weekend. Google rating: 4.4/5 from 980 reviews, noted in September 2026.

Late lunch, early dinner? Luigi, at 17, rue Normandie, serves hot food non-stop from noon to midnight. The restaurant says it makes its own sauces, pastries and even its bread. The fresh pasta menu is long. Spaghetti carbonara or puttanesca at around 90 to 100 DH. Linguine alle vongole at 130 DH, truffle ravioli at 140 DH. And for a treat, the Stravaganza plate with half a spiny lobster, at 225 DH. Pizzas range from 70 DH for the margherita to 130 DH for the Valentino, with bresaola and burrata. On Google: 4.1/5, 3,118 reviews (September 2026). There's a kids' menu, daily specials, takeaway, and delivery to your home or office. Luigi has another location in Sidi Maârouf.

An olive tree planted in the middle of the room. That's what you notice at Sforza Visconti, at 12, rue d'Ifrane, in the CIL neighbourhood. Around it: hexagonal terracotta floor tiles, grey button-tufted banquettes and a marble counter facing the room. All in an Art Deco building that recalls 1930s Casablanca architecture. The sign reads “Caffè Ristorante” and it's open from 7:30 am to midnight. On the plate, Italian cooking complemented by French dishes, in generous portions. On Google, 4.1/5 from 1,670 reviews (September 2026). The venue also hosts private and corporate events. And for a reception at home, it delivers dishes in large portions.
