The best Italian pizzerias and restaurants Mascate

A refined setting, a pretty terrace overlooking the beach and a hushed interior, the stage is set for this restaurant serving authentic Italian seaside cuisine. Chef Daniele, an Italian of course, revisits her classics, harmoniously blending local ingredients with local produce. Enjoy scallops, pea cream and tomato tartar, homemade ravioli stuffed with braised lamb/aubergine/smoked mozzarella, tiramisu or panna cotta for a sweet note... Hmmm! But no pizzas.

In the heart of the Intercontinental hotel's wooded gardens, this large and beautiful terrace struts its stuff on a deck, in the shade of a providential pergola. Just a stone's throw from the sea, you'll find yourself in a haven of tranquility with a view of the flowers and the pool, and the song of the birds as a symphony. Relaxed, the menu features Mediterranean-inspired cuisine, without creativity but tasty and efficient: classic or more elaborate pizzas, risottos, seafood tagliatelle, grilled fish or meat... And you will give me a Campari!

This Italian restaurant in the quiet heart of the Al Mouj marina is part of a chain headquartered in Naples, with 7 outlets in Italy. It's easy to see why the quality is top-notch: here you can enjoy real pizzas, local bufala, lasagne with real flavours, spicy tiramisu... Even the ice creams are homemade. As the waiters are Italian, the atmosphere is inevitably charming and relaxed. You can choose to sit in the dining room near the little grocery corner to salivate in advance, or outside on the large terrace facing the boats.
