Arcobaleno

name
A presumably Italian restaurant Arcobaleno (which in Italian means “a rainbow”) feels like a domain of the Queen of Hearts from Alice in Wonderland: very red, very glossy (literally) and purposefully disproportional. Read_on (No Comments)

Barbaresco

The central restaurant in a double-decker trio housed in the former imperial stables, this particular venue specializes in simple, but high-end Italian food and takes it's name from the wine produced in the Piedmont region in the north of Italy. Read_on (No Comments)

Caffe Italia

Caffe Italia
The cheerful and charming décor, with checked tablecloths, sunny yellow walls and Uffizi catalogues on the bookshelves, already puts this café above the standard casual Italian bistro. Read_on (No Comments)

Capuletti

Da Albertone

Da Albertone
For good pizzas and other Italian food go ahead to Da Albertone, which is tucked away at walking distance from the Hermitage. The restaurant definitely offers more than your average pizzeria and the service is also worth mentioning. Read_on (No Comments)

A classy and hip little place where local businessmen and gastrophiles come regularly to feast on excellent Italian food and good wines. Read_on (No Comments)

Limoncello

Limoncello
This place is all about simple things - in fact the place is so simple in terms of food and presentation, it could well pass as a cafe rather than a 'trattoria' as it says on the door. Read_on (No Comments)

Macaroni

Macaroni
At Macaroni, they are unafraid to serve the pasta al dente and they do have quite delicious food. Their tagliatelle with prawns and ham sauce is highly recommended, as is the salmon steak on its bed of spinach. Read_on (1 Comment)

Makaronniki

Makaronniki
A rooftop restaurant atop a business centre adjacent to Zenit's current stadium, Makaronniki gets 11 out of 10 for style points with their summer terrace, complete with hammocks, bright blue wooden gazebos, chaise lounges and even a sandbox for the kids. Read_on (No Comments)

Mama Roma

Mama Roma
Mama Roma has a central location and reasonably priced pizzas and pasta - but what about the food you ask? Yes, sadly it's pretty poor, especially the pizzas - ours was soggier than a wet biscuit. Read_on (No Comments)

Marcelli's

Marcelli's
Simply styled to reflect the stereotypes of Italy (jars of condiments and olives here, an Italian meat and cheese case there), it’s the tables full of noisy dinners that really make up the unpretentious atmosphere. Read_on (No Comments)

Mozzarellabar

Mozzarellabar
This sprawling, fresh and airy restaurant with views to the canal makes a nice venue for a speedy and unpretentious Italian lunch or dinner. Read_on (No Comments)

Polenta

Polenta
Although the menu follows the restaurant's name with 5 types of polenta, we'd recommend trying the risotto. Key words here are the staples of the Italian kitchen: fresh, simple and natural. Read_on (No Comments)

Probka/ Il grappolo

Probka/ Il grappolo
This absorbing wine restaurant with a modern interior is worth making the effort for. The stylish interior is striking and they have wine from 10 countries to choose from, in quarter, half or whole bottles. Read_on (1 Comment)

Svelto

name
This chain of cafes offering "easy Italian food" lanquished for years in the mediocre but conveniently located category. Read_on (No Comments)

Testo

Testo
Pizza and pasta are what they do here in this novelty little basement bar, named after the Russian word for dough. They make their own pasta, changing the menu daily and serve up the pizza with tasty Italian style thin crusts and freshly grated parmesan. Read_on (No Comments)

XII

XII
Part of a European chain of Italian restaurants, the palatial atmosphere of the St. Petersburg outpost of XII belies the fact that it has some of the best pizza in the city—and it’s half-off if you order it to go. Read_on (No Comments)
