The biggest Italian cuisine restaurant in town is operated by Italian gastronomy and life-style enthusiasts caring to bring the special dolce vita atmosphere to you. The restaurant’s heart is a traditional wood fire oven, custom-made in Rimini. The pizzaiola worked 7 years in Italy, honing his verissimo pizza standards and a few special ones: black truffles, octopus and tiger prawn carpaccio. Entrecôte steaks, monkfish medallions, Mediterranean octopus are made on the wood fire grill. The chef Janis Sokolovskis ensures that your pasta is handmade every day on the spot. For dessert try their homemade gelato. Sommelier Reinis Sniedze, assembles and pairs your meal with niche wines from the Mediterranean area. They also boast a children’s play-room with professional supervision on weekends. Top it off with noble spirit and a cigar in the smoking lounge. Bellissimo!
