On the top floor — a spacious hall with panoramic windows, soft lighting, and the aroma of pizza from a wood-fired oven. The menu features classic Mediterranean cuisine: bruschettas, cream-free pasta, homemade desserts, and several special dishes you won’t find in every Italian restaurant. For example, a whole roasted octopus with potatoes, tomatoes, and herbs (5850 UAH) — tender, aromatic meat with a slight sweetness, or four-cheese risotto prepared right at your table in a Grana Padano cheese wheel (1350 UAH).
The wine list is a particular pride of the establishment. Vino e Cucina has received two Wine Spectator glasses for seven consecutive years. Behind this collection stands a team of seven sommeliers who help find exactly the right taste and regularly organize tastings and wine events.
