Little Mama: a website for Italian cooking right by the sea, in Casablanca

In Casablanca, Little Mama serves pasta and pizza under a motto that fits on one line: “L’Italie, tout près de la mer” (Italy, right by the sea). Dineora designed a clear, warm website, set among olives, tomatoes and a seaside promenade, that leads straight to the menu, to ordering and to booking.

An Italian table in Casablanca

Little Mama is an Italian restaurant in Casablanca, in the Ain Sbaa district. Its menu fits into two sections, pasta and pizza: penne all’arrabbiata sharpened with chili and garlic, spaghetti pomodoro, spaghetti primavera with vegetables, penne with tuna, capers and onions, tagliatelle Big Mamma, fusilli Alfredo, spaghetti alle bolognese, then pizzas such as the Amoredi, with tomato, mozzarella and fresh basil.

The restaurant sums itself up in a few words: “L’Italie, tout près de la mer”. Its logo spells the name Little Mamma, with a hand-drawn “Little” above large red capitals. The website starts from that double anchor, Italian cooking and the seaside.

The challenge: giving a short menu some breadth

A tight menu raises a precise question: how do you give a handful of pasta dishes and pizzas some presence without losing them in the decor? For Little Mama, the point was to convey what the restaurant puts forward, handmade dough, fresh ingredients, wood-fired pizza, the view of the sea, while keeping every dish readable, with its name, its description and its price.

The site also had to bring together the three things the restaurant offers online: takeout, delivery and booking a table. On a smartphone, ordering must be found in one tap; when planning a dinner, booking must stay within the world of the place.

An art direction between olive grove and seaside

The palette starts from the light, warm wall of the entrance: cream and sand, tomato red for the name and for the rules that underline each caption, olive green for the motto. Blue arrives with the sea: a blue-and-white striped cloth at the edge of the table, a blue wall on which the logo seems engraved.

The visuals stage the two pillars of the menu: a seafood pizza, its crust puffed up and charred by the fire, covered with mussels, clams, shrimp and squid rings, and a plate of spaghetti in tomato sauce under a big meatball dusted with Parmesan. Around them come a bottle of olive oil, an olive branch in a carafe and, in sepia, a seaside promenade lined with palm trees, with boats at the quay. Other images show the dining room under its string lights, or pasta in a cardboard box ready to go.

Fine, widely spaced capitals carry the small captions, each underlined with a red stroke. Navigation sits in a cream cartouche edged with olive branches, where Accueil and Commander are written in red.

A home page you discover like a laid table

The home page reads from top to bottom. At the top, the name in large red letters, the line “Cuisine italienne” and the restaurant’s motto. Then the two dishes step forward, surrounded by short captions placed like annotations: “Pâte artisanale”, “Produits frais”, “Saveurs authentiques”, “Fait avec passion”.

Further down, a little sun lying on the waves introduces “Vue sur mer, ambiance chaleureuse”, then “Pizza au feu de bois” and “Pâtes maison”, while the sepia promenade unfolds as far as “De la cuisine au cœur”. The scroll finally ends on a row of full-width images: the pizza on its blue pedestal, the plate of spaghetti in a beam of warm light, the logo projected on the wall.

An ordering page with a parchment decor

The ordering page changes the atmosphere: an old parchment-colored decor, overrun with scrolls, cherry tomatoes, basil leaves, garlic heads and vials of olive oil. At the top, a medallion shows a sun above a rocky coast, under which “Menu & Commander” is written in red letters.

The dishes are arranged in large gold-edged cards, adorned at their foot with a nest of pasta and tomatoes. Each line shows the image of the dish, its name, its price and a small add button; an arrow unfolds the description, as for the penne with tuna. Two tabs, Pâtes and Pizza, stay at the top of the screen.

Visitors fill their cart, choose pickup at the restaurant or delivery, and can pay online. On a smartphone, the cart bar stays fixed at the bottom of the screen.

A booking form that takes a detour through Morocco

The booking form opens in a window over the page, and its decor takes a step to the side: for this Italian restaurant in Casablanca, it borrows from Morocco, with an earthenware tagine, engraved lanterns, a silver teapot and zellige tiles around a dark green board. The title “Réservations”, in large golden capitals, is followed by “Votre table” and a short invitation to the dolce vita.

The kraft-colored fields ask for the essentials: full name, phone, e-mail, date, time, number of guests and a special request, before the “Réservation” button. A paper label pinned in one corner gives the phone number, the Instagram account and the restaurant’s address.

On a smartphone, the same table in portrait

On a smartphone, the home page rearranges itself in height: the name and motto first, the pizza then the plate of spaghetti one under the other, and the short captions spread around the dishes. A single button stays at the top of the screen, Commander, while the round logo badge sits in the corner.

The ordering page stacks its gold-edged cards across the full width, tabs at the top and cart bar at the bottom. The booking form moves to a single column, with the address label above it.

A website prepared for local searches

The website is prepared for the searches people make in Casablanca when they feel like Italian food: the name of the restaurant, an Italian restaurant in town, a pizza, fresh or homemade pasta, a table for dinner nearby, or simply Little Mama’s menu and address. The title, the description, the texts and the structured data describe the restaurant, its city and its menu in the same words.

A detailed presentation page completes the home page, and the full menu stays readable as text on the ordering page. No one can guarantee a position on Google: what can be worked on is the accuracy, structure and consistency of the information given to search engines.

A website for an Italian restaurant in Casablanca: pasta and pizza in Ain Sbaa

An Italian restaurant menu cut down to two sections, pasta and pizza, needs a site that makes it irresistible: penne all’arrabbiata, spaghetti pomodoro, creamy tagliatelle, a seafood pizza. In Casablanca, a pasta and pizza restaurant website must also take online orders with delivery, accept card payment and hold a table back.

  • A cost nowhere near an agency’s: no quote and no percentage; every pizza or bowl of penne sold stays entirely with the restaurant.
  • Ready in the time of a coffee: type the name of the place and the menu, the images and the ordering path are assembled.
  • Painted in sea and tomato colours: cream and sand, tomato red, olive green, a blue-and-white striped cloth, a blue wall where the logo is engraved.
  • Editable by the minute: the owner swaps a price in dirhams or adds a pizza of the day, and the site follows at once.
  • No delivery middleman: baskets, payments and bookings land with Little Mama, not on an app that would skim its share.
  • Casablanca, Rabat, Oslo, Houston: the same tool serves far-apart dining rooms, in the language of the guests and the local currency.

For an Italian restaurant in Casablanca, that is a shopfront that smells of the sea and tomato sauce, and an online till that stays in the house.

The result: the character of the place, all the way to the order

Little Mama’s website comes down to a few gestures: you look at the table, you understand the menu, you order or you book. It keeps the restaurant’s accent, its tomato reds, its olives, its promenade by the water, and carries it through to the ordering page and the booking form. That is what Dineora looks for in every website: that it resembles the restaurant it presents.

Questions about this project

Who designed Little Mama’s website?

Little Mama’s website, for the Italian restaurant in Casablanca, was designed by Dineora: art direction, home page, online menu, ordering page and booking form.

Can you order from Little Mama online?

Yes. The Commander page presents the pasta and the pizzas with their descriptions and prices: you add your dishes to the cart, choose pickup at the restaurant or delivery, and you can pay online.

Can you book a table at Little Mama on its website?

Yes. The booking form, opened in a window, asks for the full name, phone, e-mail, date, time, number of guests and an optional special request.

How can a pizza and pasta restaurant deliver in Casablanca without a delivery app?

By offering delivery from its own site: the guest builds a basket, pays online if the restaurant has switched that on, and the order reaches the kitchen directly, with no commission from Dineora.

Does a small Italian restaurant need a developer to get a website?

No. Giving the restaurant’s name is enough; Dineora composes the menu, the images and the ordering pages, and the owner edits dishes and prices alone afterwards.
