Moscow Restaurants

  1. Cibo E Vino

    Italian for `food and wine', Cibo e Vino is a classy but unpretentious restaurant and wine bar. The menu is short and selective - a few modern dishes accompanied by a modest selection of French and Italian reds and whites. The understated dining room is intimate enough to bring a date, but comfortable enough to dine alone (especially considering the free WiFi access). After dinner, slip downstairs to the exotic chill-out room to sip an after-dinner drink or smoke a hookah.

  2. La Casa

    This airy, elegant trattoria serves uses high-class (and high-priced) Italian fare - fresh pasta with homemade sauces, grilled seafood and steaks - with a wine list to match. The place is lovely: neutral tones, tile floors and plush couches create a sophisticated Mediterranean setting. However, you might get some attitude from the staff if they feel you don't complement the decor.

  3. Pinocchio in Tverskoy District

    This little pizza cafe evokes the hospitality and conviviality of the Mediterranean, complete with free-flowing wine and crispy pies topped with fresh ingredients. One of the highlights of this spot is the konditerskaya , or dessert bar, with an irresistible selection of sweets and pastries. The pizzeria is a small version of the larger (and pricier) restaurant on Kutuzovsky prospect.
