Italian restaurant in Tangier: 7 places to try in 2026

Know the corner of rue Lafayette and avenue Prince Héritier? Just behind the Hotel Chellah, there's Anna e Paolo. A place apart in Tangier's Italian scene. It's family-run, by a brother and sister with Italian and Tangier roots. The dining room has kept its period interior, with wood panelling and old photo frames. On the menu, pure trattoria: antipasti, pasta, pizzas, fish, meat, and a selection of Italian wines. Regulars come back for the carbonara, the ravioli, the carpaccio. And for dessert, tiramisu or homemade ice cream. On Google, 4.2/5 from 614 reviews in September 2026. Note that the dining room isn't big. Book ahead. Closed on Sundays, lunch and dinner service the rest of the week.

59 MAD for the margherita on Glovo at the time of our research. Pasta, between 79 and 99 MAD. Napolitano is at 34 rue Lafayette, a few doors from Anna e Paolo. But here, the tone is quicker and younger. The brand is also in Oujda and Berkane, and it stakes its claim on Neapolitan pizza. The dough is made on site every day, kneaded by hand, then left to rest. Wood-fired. The result: that puffy, spotted crust you see in their photos. There are also burgers served in focaccia, pasta and salads. The dining room is green and red, and you order at kiosks. And they deliver. For a recent opening, it's 4.6/5 on Google (450 reviews, September 2026).

Burrata, mozzarella, parmesan. With a name like that, Parmigiano puts Italian cheeses front and centre, and it shows on the plate. On the burrata pizza, for example, or on pasta with pesto, prawns and flaked almonds. We're on rue de Grenade, not far from place de France, in a large contemporary dining room. Fringed pendant lights, green banquettes, potted olive trees. The menu? Thin-crust pizzas, fresh pasta, creamy risottos, carpaccios and a few fine cuts of meat. Then a homemade tiramisu or panna cotta. Service runs late, until 1 am. Google gave it 4.2/5 from 1,142 reviews in September 2026.

Seafood tagliatelle is the dish San Marino puts forward. Prawns, calamari and mussels in a bisque, for 110 MAD. It's on boulevard de New York, in the Jawaher B residence. A polished Italian restaurant with a focus on the sea. Bright room, long green velvet banquettes, greenery on the wall. For a dinner for two, it works well. The menu is online, with prices. Beef or tuna carpaccio from 85 to 105 MAD, truffle burrata at 100 MAD. Pizzas too, like the capricciosa at 95 MAD. Then fresh pasta, ravioli, risottos, fish and meat. Google rating of 4.6/5 from 308 reviews (September 2026). Open every day from noon to 11:30 pm. Book by phone or WhatsApp.

Fancy chocolate tagliatelle? That's the curiosity customers love to mention at Italia del Mamma. We're leaving the centre: rue 3, next to Mohammed VI hospital. It's one of the few Italian spots in our selection outside the centre. And it's the highest-rated in our selection on Google, with 4.8/5 from 602 reviews in September 2026. In the dining room, dark walls covered in framed portraits, plants, light pendants, candles on the tables. A small flower-filled terrace at the entrance. In the kitchen, the classics: pizzas, pasta, desserts, plus a few burgers and seafood dishes. On Glovo, pizzas were between 52 and 79 MAD, pasta between 74 and 130 MAD at the time of our research. And yes, it delivers via Glovo.

Head to Branes, near the Riad mosque. Cappero Resto is first and foremost a pizzeria, also found in Casablanca. The pizzas come out with a nicely puffed, spotted crust. Fairly generously topped. From the simple margherita (tomato, mozzarella, basil, parmesan) to the Royale, which mixes meat and seafood. And prices stay gentle. On Glovo, at the time of our research: margherita at 50 MAD, veggie at 65 MAD, and the most expensive at 117 MAD. Google showed 4.7/5 from 392 reviews in September 2026. Exposed brick, green chairs, and a small terrace on the pavement. Eat in, takeaway or delivery, from 1 pm to 1 am.

Small budget, big group? Little Mamma, an Italian brand present in several Moroccan cities, has its Tangier location right in the centre, on avenue Mohammed V. Modern decor, lively room. It's a natural choice for families or groups. On the menu, pizzas, baked in a wood-fired oven according to several reviewers. Pasta, antipasti like arancini, a few meat dishes. Prices are among the gentlest in this selection. On Glovo, at the time of our research, the margherita was 49 MAD, the burrata pizza 99 MAD, pasta from 45 to 90 MAD. To be honest: reviews are more mixed than elsewhere, 3.8/5 from 1,148 reviews on Google in September 2026. But for eating in the city centre without booking, it does the job. And it delivers.
