🇷🇺 Moscow Restaurant Review | Italian Bistro | Tutta la Vita

Recently, my friends and I discovered an Italian bistro located near the Tretyakov Gallery that’s open 24/7. The bistro has three floors and a retro-style decor. It’s a great spot for both dining and having a drink, especially if you’re planning to visit the gallery. They offer menus in both English and Russian, so non-Russian-speaking tourists can relax. 🎨 I recommend sitting by the window. While there’s no particular view, the seating area is bright and well-lit, with lots of decorative elements that make for great photos. We chose a window seat on the first floor, perfect for a cozy afternoon tea. The waiter told us there was a 90-minute limit, which we thought was plenty of time for a meal. The service was quick, and our waiter was really charming. 😊 Dishes: 1️⃣ Bread Basket: Two slices each of rye bread, wheat bread, and garlic fennel bread. They were a bit hard and sour, probably more to Russian taste. My friend and I thought they were just okay. 2️⃣ Tomato and Meat Sauce Pasta: The meat sauce was abundant, almost double the pasta, with a rich tomato flavor. It was delicious. 3️⃣ Creamy Chicken and Mushroom Fettuccine: The wide pasta was coated in cheese, incredibly satisfying with every bite. 4️⃣ Beef Liver with Mushrooms: Recommended by our waiter, this dish was excellent. The liver was sliced thick, and the sauce wasn’t salty, offering a rich texture. 5️⃣ Earl Grey Tea: The bergamot aroma was prominent, and it paired well with small cakes. 6️⃣ Ice Cream: We ordered lemon and strawberry basil flavors. The sorbet was tangy and sweet, perfect for cutting through the richness of the meal. Price: 💰 Average cost: 1500-2000 ₽ 🚇 Close to the Третьяковская, Новокузнецкая, and Полянка metro stations. Just cross the street to the left after exiting the metro, and you’ll see it—it’s very close. #Russia #Moscow #MoscowLife #MoscowTravel #MoscowCuisine #MoscowExploration #ItalianRestaurant #TretyakovGallery
