Following the official address (Lysenko street, 1) we made a detour. You’d better get straight to the Golden Gates Zoloti Vorota (the same metro station if you go by the metro) – you’ll see the terrace of the restaurant right away on the square (as it is on the photo). It is full of people all the time, so reservation... More

Nice and comfortable interior, with a good Italian cuisine. Chef is Italian, so you could be no doubt in quality and authenticity of food. Service is good, staff friendly and helpful. A table can be ordered before, but even if you have not already done this, staff will help youl find a place. More

The offerings here are deliciuos and can be creative, too. Imagine homemade spinach fettuccine with asparagus, cherry tomatoes, and anchoives; prawns with avacado puree; an array of perfectly grilled vegetables - to list a few of my favorites. I also enjoy hearing other diners' conversations in a range of languages, as well as having English in the menu. The service... More

I have been coming to Pantagruel regularly since it opened in 1995 until I moved out of Ukraine in 2000. Even then, every change I got to visit Kyiv I payed my token visit to Pantagruel. This last trip came after a 5 year break and as I approached the restaurant I was half expecting to be disappointed: after all,... More

They need a choice of reasonably priced... More

This restaurant offers home made Italian food in the heart of Kiev. Very good cuisine especially the pastas, one of the best selected wine lists I've ever seen, reasonable (though on the high end) prices. Usually it is wide to make a reservation beforehand. More

The restaurant is indeed a must-visit for any Italian-food admirer who cares not how hefty is the bill he gets at the end of the meal. Favoured by many local and expat food-lovers, this basement osteria will surprise with extensive wine-list (3 vintages of Tignanello alone they carried at that point), elaborately thought-thru menu, freshest ingredients and the service of...

It's not fancy, a bit underground, but it's amazing!!!! The food is superb! The chef is Italian and he always create something different! The food is always very fresh, it is very, very tasty. You can never get a table there if you don't reserve. It is mandatory always, any time, any day. They are not making it up, they... More

Great food and wine. Don't forget to make a reservation. More
