Wonderful evening with service by George. On his recommendation, my wife and I shared the meatball appetizer which was wonderful. We then shared the lobster pasta which was also exquisite. Finished it off with the cannoli dessert. Best we’ve ever had. All great!

Great place! We went on Friday night and i was very surprised with such a great service!! Dima, Platon, Katya were the best! Helped us with our choices, we always around, cleaned up table super fast, we had all utensils on time, extra napkins and were very helpful to explain the concept and gave us recommendations! We tried samosa, khinkali, mixed grilled, octopus, beet salad, medovik cake and napoleon. Everything tasted really good and was served fast! My friends also had mint-melon hookah and said it tasted amazing! We enjoyed Aperole drinks and fruit compote ☺️ Definitely will be back on Saturday night to listen to life music (Dima’s recommendation). Thank you. Great service and food!
