This restaurant in its 2 branches (Gemmayze and Jal El Dib) offers you a very simple menu: a dish of Steak, Chicken or Salmon dipped in their special saucr with vegetables and fries.You can then add an extra portion of any of these 3 dishes to your meal.Quality is super and the food is tasty, Price is relatively cheap.Take care that during week ends, sometimes you have to wait for an hour to get a table, but food is served quickly after that.Every time i am in beirut, i have to eat there at least one or two times. I adore theire steak.

I work and live in Hamra and come VERY often to Appetito - not only it's practical, it's also very good (and fits all the criteria of a good Italian Trattoria)! I come with my wife, friends and colleagues. The menu is variated without being too large, the "forno a legna" (pizza oven) functions very well and the staff (headed by Diana) is helpful and friendly. Don't miss it!
