    We are black men traveling from America. We were told to sit anywhere we like, once we chose our seats a waiter came over and told us to move because of a reservation. The party that took our table were two white men and we are a group of 4. Food took forever and appeared to be the worst scraps of every dish. My beef Tagine is the worse I’ve had in Morocco. The food does not match the photos.

    Overpriced food. Portion is great. Recommend tagliatelle bolognese. Seafood pasta is a bit watery.

    Saw they had some positive but clearly they are faked after eating at this place. The first sign of bad service was when we seated ourselves and was told we couldn’t sit there since it was reserved, fast forward 10-15mins later we noticed two lighter skinned men sitting there while we were tucked in a corner by the plants. Food: Soggy fries Beef Tanjine was very little portion and very sweet with a plethora of fruits which included dates on top of dates with some apricots sprinkled in there. Fish of the day was ok tons of bones and calamari pieces were pretty good. The best part was the bread and tapenade they provided. Ambience: Place looks great and smells great.

    This place was disappointing. Was told to sit anywhere we like, then asked five minutes later. Service was slow. Most importantly the food looks NOTHING like the photos. Very poor, bland food and would not recommend for those looking for a nice dinner.

    Beautiful place, very clean. They also serve wine. We had sardines which were very fresh, pasta and tirami su. The food was good and appetisingly presented. They also had sparkling water The price-performance ratio was absolutely reasonable. The service was extremely friendly and polite. It seems to be more oriented towards western guests. The toilets were clean, toilet paper and soap available. Here, as a westerner, one feels at home. Same standard

    What a wonderful place we found! Service is one of the best I found in Morocco so far (and I live here for several years). They were attentive and ready to help and give alternatives. The food was delicious! We had several starters (both moroccan and italian) a very tender and well cooked beef fillet and amazing dessert (how I've missed a real tiramisu in morocco). The ambient was cosy and there was life music that made it even more special. The riad where it's located is soo beautiful and well taken care of. Just see a couple of pictures I took and judge for yourself. I definitely recommend it to anyone willing to spend a relaxing night in a place with good vibes and better food. Looking forward to going back soon. Incha allah!

    Great place, a bit pricey for moroccan standards, but food, ambience and service definitely steps up to that range

    We found this magical place by chance, the restaurant is located in the internal patio of the Al Madina hotel, an architectural marvel, a beautiful Andalusian patio where you can delight yourself with the excellence of Italian and Moroccan cuisine. We spent a wonderful evening and also attended a performance of Gnawa music, my favorite dish spaghetti with clams, a must not to be missed.

    So by far the best Moroccan dish I had in Essaouira. Yes, it's expensive but you can really taste the difference. I also loved the atmosphere in an old riad and service was impeccable.

    Food was good, especially the starters! Only the portion of our pasta was not very big

    We visited Osteria for dinner, expecting a nice meal. However, the experience was far from satisfactory. Despite being a restaurant, when we sat down, the server informed us that they couldn’t serve food at that time. This was particularly confusing as we saw another customer eating. Frustrated and disappointed, we had to leave and look for another place to dine. It was an unwelcoming experience and not what you’d expect from a restaurant.

    We enjoyed a wonderful evening of good food and drinks in this beautiful venue. Everything went really well for us, from the initial welcome right through to the inevitable bill which was good value for the attentive and friendly service of well prepared and presented dishes.

👍👍 One of the best places to go to for a chilled afternoon/sunset time! You’re on the beach, enjoying the sunset while listening to music, prices are fair, yes service is not the fastest but you can go to the bar and ask, that didn’t bother us too much. What you see is what you get :)
