The menu is small and more suited to lunch than for dinner. The alcohol is too expensive. The restauirant itself is very small. We ordered in advance to have a table but there weren´t many people in it. You can´t say it wasn´t good but to compare with other restaurants in Kiev which we visited it was quite ordinary. Our...

This was already my fifth time to La Cantina, and that restaurant is just fabulous and has very good price policy. Food is great and not too expensive, but bit too expensive for locals. Wine selection is great and service is fantastic. Many places in Kiev are very loud, but this is like a calm paradise with excellent atmosphere. I... More

Having lived in Kyiv for almost two years, I discovered La Cantina only last autumn. This is not surprising, as the restaurant was opened just last summer. I go there again and again, with colleagues, friends, even alone, when I need a treat. The food is good, sometimes excellent, the service friendly, the prices right. Kyiv Post is available for...

Owner <-> Barman <-> Waiter? Something you don't see often in Kiev and it certainly shows in the service. Menu is simple yet there is still plenty of choice. I was bit worried when I asked for soup of the day and got choice of three, yet pleasantly surprised by cream of mushroom creation that was wholesome, aromatic and earthy.... More

This restaurant is quite small but very cosy and pleasant. It is situated on the Yaroslavi val street where there are lots of restaurants. The staff is very attentive and speak good English. Food arrives quickly, and tastes very good. Their speciality is meat or seafood that is grilled on a hot stone on your table. It is fun, and... More

Close your eyes for a second and forget that you're in Kiev. Then open up and you'd realize that you're really somewhere not in Kiev! Simple but very Italian interior, very fresh. Not a huge variety of choise but everything is selected with passion. Great wine list! More

Not so many choices for meals, yet the specialty one might need to test is a hot stone brought directly from the oven to your table and you may fry meat, poultry or shrimps and get it done as you wish within few minutes. Apron comes with the dish. Non-smoking restaurant is a plus in Kiev. More
