Truly an unexpected find. Though not quite rivaling the best Italian cuisine in town, for a restaurant that's in a giant cinema house, Basilik is surprisingly high-quality. Soups, pastas and other mains are served by friendly staff in a nicer-than-average dining room. Crowds ebb and flow according to the film schedule. [...]

Infused with the powerful fragrance of garlic and decked out with unmistakably Italian mementoes, this small café leaves no room for doubt that there’s the hand of a native at work here.

Rumour has it that quality has been down as of late, we'll let you be the judge.

The cuisine is equally fresh and the service was not disappointing.

A little bit far from Old Town, this restaurant/pizzeria has got those particular touches that certainly reflect the input of a native, certainly not a rare thing in Tallinn.

The prices are decent and you can even take home some authentic wines and food products from the attached delicatessen.
