Verdello at Four Seasons Rabat Unveils Its Italian Summer Menu
At Verdello, the signature Italian restaurant at Four Seasons Hotel Rabat at Kasr Al Bahr, summer tastes distinctly of the Mediterranean. The restaurant sits where the Bou Regreg river meets the Atlantic, and this season it channels that coastal energy onto the plate. At the helm is Senior Executive Chef Sebastiano Spriveri, a Sicilian talent whose approach to Italian cuisine has been refined over decades within Four Seasons. His cooking favours timeless recipes, however he never lets nostalgia get in the way of contemporary precision. The result is a menu that feels both familiar and quietly modern.
The Italian Summer Menu, Dish by Dish
This new Italian summer menu reads like a tour of Italy’s coastline, and each course has a clear point of view. The Vitello arrives delicate and precisely seasoned, while the grilled Polpo brings a smoky depth that plays well against the season’s lighter dishes. For something cooling, the Zuppa and the vibrant Mezze offer a fresh counterpoint to the heat, and the Mediterranean-inspired Acquapazza keeps the seafood theme running through the menu. The flavourful Pollo, meanwhile, rounds things out for guests who prefer something heartier. Above all, every dish relies on seasonal ingredients, so the kitchen’s focus shifts naturally with what the market provides.
A Sweet Finale by Jamal Meziane
No Italian meal feels complete without dessert, and Executive Pastry Chef Jamal Meziane clearly understands that. His signature Torta closes the meal on a classic note, rich yet balanced. As a lighter alternative, the Carpaccio Ananas brings pineapple to the table in a refreshing, thinly sliced presentation that suits Rabat’s summer evenings particularly well. Together, the two desserts give guests a choice between comfort and lightness, which feels fitting for a menu built around seasonal balance.
Where to Savour the Season
Beyond the food itself, Verdello’s setting plays its own role in the experience. The dining room feels elegant without being formal, and the atmosphere leans warm and welcoming rather than stiff. As a result, the space suits everything from a quiet dinner to a longer, more celebratory evening. Furthermore, the restaurant’s position within Four Seasons Hotel Rabat at Kasr Al Bahr means the view stays part of the experience from the first course to the last.
An Italian Summer Worth Booking
In short, Verdello’s new Italian summer menu gives Rabat another reason to linger over dinner this season. Chef Spriveri’s Sicilian roots and Chef Meziane’s pastry work come together with real coherence, and neither chef seems interested in overcomplicating a good idea. For anyone planning a summer evening out, Verdello is worth the reservation.
