Limoni ★ 4.1
Limoni in north Marrakech medina is a quiet riad-kitchen running honest Italian pasta and pizza around a courtyard with a heavy old lemon tree.
Signature: Homemade pasta, Wood-fired pizza, Lemon tart
Order: Whichever fresh pasta the kitchen made that morning; ask the server for the day's batch.
Tip: Closed Sundays. Find the door via Sidi Ben Abbas mausoleum; phone the riad if you get lost in Diour Saboun.
Pepe Nero ★ 4.3
Pepe Nero plates Italian-Moroccan dual menus in the courtyard of Riyad Al Moussika, a former pasha's palace five minutes from Marrakech's Jemaa el-Fna.
Signature: Homemade pasta, Italian or Moroccan tasting, Tiramisu
Order: Pick the Italian or the Moroccan menu, not both; the kitchen executes each tradition cleanly when it commits.
Tip: Closed Sundays. Reserve courtyard seating; the indoor salon is the rainy-night fallback.
Nomad ★ 4.6
Kamal Laftimi's four-floor rooftop on Marrakech's spice square Rahba Kedima, modern Moroccan plates served above the souk action since 2014.
Signature: Calamari with chermoula, Lamb shoulder with prunes, Pulled chicken sandwich
Order: Order the calamari salad with green chermoula and the slow lamb shoulder.
Tip: Reserve the rooftop terrace for sunset; the second-floor non-smoking salon is the calmer pick on a hot afternoon.

Signature: Steak frites, Nicoise salad, French wine list
Order: Steak frites at the brasserie; this is the city's clearest French-protectorate inheritance.
Tip: The bar is open until 01:00 and serves the same kitchen menu late; the city's most reliable late dinner outside Hivernage.
