Due to the great tripadvisor reviews, we popped in here one evening, as it was close to where we were staying. It's a very large restaurant and I imagine it can get quite loud during weekends. When we arrived shortly after 6 it was very quiet. We both ordered pizza, which was served reasonably quickly by friendly servers, who were... More

I went there for breakfast with friends - we loved it. The atmosphere is cosy, the food is great, and the service is very good - not overpriced at all. It's not easy to find a place in the central part of Kyiv with a reasonable combination of price and value.

Tasty food, good selection of dishes, friendly personnel, better reserve your table in advance because the place is always full of people especially during lunch and dinner hours. Cannot agree it is good for a romantic occasion, too crowded, can be noisy and tables too close to each other. But just great to eat out with friends!

We hired this restaurant to secure catering for one of our corporate events. Food was delicious. Great pork chops and marvelous four-cheeses pizza. Tasty side dishes. Quite a surprise for this price level. Definitely white list of providers.

This restaurant was recommended to me for lunch. It is a simple honest Italian, with very reasonable homemade food . The menu is varied offering the usual pizzas and pastas plus really tasty salads and grills. The waiting staff are on the whole very friendly and attentive, although on my second visit the waitress I had was a little dower.... More

It's good for breakfast and it's ok for everything else. The food is average, nothing special. Lasagna is not the best choice there. The service is a usual 'nothing special'. They bring you the menu, don't tell their name, don't check up on you, then they bring you food and a receipt. That's it. No asking how the food was,... More

I have walked past this restaurant before but never eaten here before now. It was first class, I had the Veal medalions, superbly cooked melt in your mouth experience, well worth the 82 Cyma. Drinks, starters and mains come to 311' Good service, nice ambience .
