La Trattoria is Marrakech's most enduring Italian restaurant, open since 1974 in a Bill Willis-designed Art Deco villa in Guéliz. Dinner is served by candlelight around an indoor pool beneath a soaring glass roof draped with Moroccan lanterns, while lunch takes place in a shaded garden. The menu centres on fresh handmade pasta, Moroccan-sourced ingredients, and classic Italian mains — all in a setting that feels like a private house that has been quietly expecting you for fifty years.
