Enveloped in a blanket of bougainvillea colors and situated in the heart of Achrafieh,
Mariolino is a new Italian gem in Beirut.
Candlelit, captivating, and cozy, Mariolino is the latest addition to Restos St Nicholas and is absolutely perfect for lovers, friends, and families alike.
Their slogan,
Pizza e vino, roughly translates into “pizza and wine”, which are Mariolino’s unmissable specialties. The adorable Italian eatery is topping our list for serving homemade wood-baked pizzas and pouring endless glasses of wine – an unparalleled duo. But wait, where’s the pasta?
Well here’s the twist: Mariolino doesn’t actually serve any pasta, but they’ll happily turn your favorite into a mouthwatering pizza.
Carbonara lovers can indulge in a delectable pizza topped with fresh mozzarella, crispy bacon, pecorino cheese, and egg yolk. Arrabbiata addicts will love Mariolino’s signature Arrabbiata pizza, a decadent pie topped with tomato sauce, fresh mozzarella, chili pepper, and parsley.
Excellente! And for those who are craving some pesto pasta, the Funghi e Tartufo is a heavenly creation of porcini pesto, fresh mozzarella, mushrooms, and truffle oil. A must-try indeed!
No matter your pizza selection, Mariolino guarantees an authentic taste of Italy with every bite you take, and you’ll be happy to hear that all Mariolino pizzas are baked with love and prepped with wholesome fresh ingredients.
Their in-house chef takes pride in using whole wheat pizza dough and freshly homemade tomato sauce, which truly makes all the difference. They also serve vegan cheese so vegans can opt for the plant-based alternatives and experience this gastronomic pleasure for themselves as well!
And because their pizza options are endless and equally scrumptious, Mariolino has made our lives THAT much easier by featuring a “Pizza of the Week” every week and serving it for ONLY 15,000 LL.
So it’s safe to say that between the pizzas, prices, and appeal, this Italian gem is bound to charm your pants off.
