With five different locations around Moscow, Rucola café has become popular with the average Muscovite who doesn’t work as a top manager in a fancy multi-national company. “Italian cuisine for fair money” is the motto of Ruccola. Here, a teacher or a student can feast on Parma ham with baked pear and honey sauce, seafood risotto, pizza Napolitana or basil panna cotta without breaking the bank. The café also combines two trends – love for Mediterranean food and local produce – into the guiding philosophy in the kitchen. In the summer months, the cafes also boast a pleasant summer terrace for Italian-style al fresco dining.
