Our story
The soul of Italy, carved in wood and fire
At Desidero Pizzeria we believe great cooking is born from tradition. Our dining room, clad in warm oak and walnut, recreates the atmosphere of the classic Italian trattoria: welcoming, authentic and full of aromas.
Every evening, from 16:00 until 02:00, our wood-fired oven never rests. Slow-fermented sourdough, San Marzano tomatoes and fresh mozzarella come together to bring you the true experience of Italian cucina in Marbella.
Wood-fired oven
Our pizzas are baked at over 400 °C in a genuine wood-fired oven, achieving that unmistakable crisp, airy crust.
Fresh pasta daily
We make our pasta every day from selected Italian flours: rigatoni, spaghetti and orecchiette shaped by hand.
Italian ingredients
Burrata, stracciatella, prosciutto crudo and bresaola imported directly from Italy for a truly authentic flavour.
Le nostre specialità
The jewels of the house
Dishes that define who we are. Recipes faithful to Italian tradition, elevated with first-class produce and the character of our wood-fired oven.
Fresh Pasta al Pil Pil
Artisan spaghetti sautéed with king prawns, garlic, chilli and olive oil. Italy and Andalusia on a single plate.
Burrata Pugliese
Fresh burrata from Puglia over confit cherry tomatoes, rocket and extra virgin olive oil. Pure creaminess.
Il menù

From antipasti to fresh pasta, from Neapolitan pizzas to secondi: a menu made for sharing, unhurried, with good wine.
Antipasti & Salads
Bruschetta, oven-baked provolone, bresaola carpaccio and fresh salads with burrata to open the appetite.

Late-night kitchen
We stay awake at night
When Marbella winds down, our wood-fired oven keeps burning. We open every day from 16:00 to 02:00, because a craving for great pizza doesn't follow a schedule. Dine late, toast late, live late: we'll be waiting with the dough ready and the fire alive.
