The saddest pizza I've ever tried. Dry piece of bread: no sauce at all. Somewhat named Focaccia is not even close: no oil, no tomato, no herbs. If the owner is indeed Italian, which is hard to believe for me, vergognaveti!!!

It's a nice, cozy, intimate, family-friendly place. We've been there a few times, and it's a great choice for a quick, hearty lunch. Pastas and pizzas are delicious, inexpensive, and the portions are large.

Great place, delicious food.Homemade Italian cafe.We ordered pizza with four cheeses, Italian, Caesar salads.The pizzas are cooked in a wood-burning oven, which is an advantage.The waiter Julia is an excellent professional, very attentive and polite.The Italian cafe is also visited by many guests from Italy.The only disadvantage is the toilet...It smells really bad..small sink, no paper towels...but in general, the impressions were good.

It's a nice place, I'll definitely come back.
Coffee , pizza , waitress left a good impression )
On the downside , I can only mention the cheap dishes (in many places in Rome , the same story with her , so it 's not surprising ) 😉

It's delicious, the prices are reasonable. The food is not formulaic. It was very reminiscent of family cafes in Italy. There is not much space, if a large company is a plus, you can occupy the entire institution. The service is fast.

The place has deteriorated over the year. We started saving on groceries. We ordered Caesar, but we got a plate of cabbage, where there are 3 pieces of chicken, a couple of crackers and almost no sauce. Complete disappointment.
The pizza is delicious, but the tomatoes in it are the worst. Well, if it's not the season, then why not replace tomatoes with natural tomatoes, in their own juice, in canned food.
The aperol is served in strange glasses, not glasses. There is no ice. Another question about the champagne they add there. Judging by the headache, after one aperol, it looks like a Soviet one.
Bottom line: I don't want to come here anymore.
The receipt was issued for 100 rubles. In my opinion, the price does not match the quality. From the word at all.

A great cozy Italian restaurant where the owner himself can meet you and take you to the table. Friendly, relaxed and fast service. The interior features original Italian photos, posters and pennants. Delicious pizza from the oven and snacks. Chic homemade limoncello in frozen glasses. Before Christmas, you can buy a real panettone (Christmas pie). Of the minor disadvantages, sweet mulled wine without spices, but in general it is delicious.

Nice Italian small restaurant.
We had a Greek salad and a special pizza. The salad portion is large.
Everything is very tasty.

It's hard to believe that the owner is Italian, although he is. Maybe the pizza won't disappoint, but unfortunately I took the risotto. They served dry, almost raw rice in a bowl of poor table pilaf with crumbs of tomatoes and champignons, it was impossible to eat. Aperol Spritz smelled of chemicals and cut his esophagus with chemicals. In front of me, the Italian refused to drink the espresso served, and the owner went to make him another coffee himself. I strongly do not recommend it, it is not Italian cuisine.

A beautiful piece of Italy in the center of Minsk. Delicious pasta, pizza, Caesar salad is just a dream. A friendly waitress.Sometimes there are Italian hosts here, hearing Italian speech, it seems that you are sitting somewhere in Italy. The most important thing is adequate prices for dishes.

The advantages that attracted this place are the location in the city center, reviews of the place, the presence of Italians dining here.
Cons - this is not Italian cuisine, perhaps gastronomic losers eat and cook here, or they cook their own separately.
I took the same dishes for 2 of them:
Tomato soup with cream is just tomato paste diluted with water, salted, to which cream was added;
Pizza Kopola is a disgusting thick, bland, tasteless dough, on which several pieces of cherry and olives with ham were thrown on top.
In Moscow, ready-made frozen pizza tastes better, to be honest.
The wine tastes good, but behind my back, the wine supplier discussed with someone from the cafe owners the supply of white wine, traveling an incomprehensible route across 5 borders, at 68 euro cents per bottle, at the price of a glass - when recalculated - 2,100 Russian rubles per bottle.
After eating, my stomach felt uncomfortable and hurt.
It's a strange place, it's definitely not gastronomic delights here + you obviously won't be pleased with the price / quality ratio.
I do not recommend it.

Once again, walking around the city in the evening, we went to this restaurant. I can't say anything about the kitchen, but the coffee is always on top. Cozy atmosphere, pleasant music. The service has also never caused any complaints. You are always welcome here. Plus the city center is very convenient.

A place of peace! First of all, I would like to mention the institution itself: very nice, small, cozy for quiet quiet gatherings. The waitresses are just cuties, we have not seen such a positive thing in any institution in Minsk, a lot of positivity and smiles, regardless of the gender and age of the client. The pizza is great, the tiramisu is good, the limoncello is divine, and the coffee from the "shaman" Julia is just aerobatics. We will be in Minsk and we will definitely look at you again (and more than once). I recommend. Thank you. P.S. and how nice it was decorated on March 8, nothing special (mimosa and yellow tulips), but it gave the place a special charm.

Very good! The pizza is delicious! It is popular with local foreigners. There are several small tables outside, a small hall inside. A good waitress (I don't know her name). I helped with the choice. The bill is quite acceptable. I recommend. There are no empty seats in the evening, please note!

The wine is normal, the waitress is a nice and friendly girl. Caesar salad, as in any institution where they do not know the sauce recipe (it tasted like sauce from a store), tartufo pasta was at first even close to unfamiliar with salt, after getting to know it, I concluded that it was not in itself. Apart from cream, some microstages of mushrooms, pasta and truffle oil, there is nothing there, it is clear that they did not even try to make it really tasty. It's disappointing, although I've heard that there's a good pizza there, but probably it doesn't concern the rest of the menu.

Caesar salad is really a bunch of leaves, and a couple of pieces of chicken.The waitress is very active, like a dragonfly flying, this is not the level of the restaurant.She asked, "What's not finished?" Funny, like at my mom's house.

A great place, I recommend it to everyone! The food is very tasty, the hosts and staff are wonderful, the first time we got there a year ago by accident, we were pleasantly surprised by the atmosphere of a real Italian home restaurant! We return there every trip to Minsk! A small, cozy Italian restaurant with delicious food, honest cocktails

The worst service and mediocre pizza is about this place. I'll start with how we were greeted: we went into the hall, the waitress was on the side ... after standing for 5 minutes like a fool asked if the tables were free on the street, she did not hear, but instead of asking again, she twisted a discontentedly squeamish face, repeating her question, she heard an affirmative answer. We sat down at a table, brought us the menu again with a face like I owed something, a couple of minutes later the waitress came for the order, I replied, they say, "pizza is ready, no drinks," okai called the name, instead of asking "is that all?" I heard "and? What else?!" again with a kind of passive aggression, okay, I wanted to leave already, but right there it's not pizza but gastronomic orgasms judging by the reviews, let's sit.... Then they came up again, I was able to remember 2 drinks 3 times, left, we finish the last pieces, asked for the bill immediately with a card, another pizza in my hand, but they already took the tray and, most importantly, the lining on the table!!! At least they didn't snatch the glass out of my hands! They brought the terminal, but the payment from the phone does not go through, they found the card, but asked that the next time they warned the guests, they asked in a recommendation tone, but they heard: "everyone knows this anyway!". I was a little shocked, is this place only for regular customers? With this approach, there will be no new ones !

Unfortunately, my friend and I visited this place, which did not impress either of us with the cuisine or the service.
We ordered 2 pastas, a friend - carbonara, I don't remember the name of my own.
The pastas were brought along with small portions of grated parmesan, we thought that this was a feature of serving pasta, and the cheese should be added ourselves, but as it turned out, it was a separate dish for 1.5 rubles, which we considered later in the receipt and which we did not order. When asked by the waitress (the name Yana is indicated on the badge) how it turned out to be with us, and why we were not warned about it, she said "well, you ate it" and "it was the manager who set the rule to serve uncooked cheese to guests." We did not hear any apologies or even that this situation could have happened by accident.
We didn't want to cause scandals and showdowns, so we just left after paying 1.5 rubles for this unfortunate cheese.
The behavior of the waitress from the very beginning of the visit was a little strange, although we communicated kindly and with a smile)
The kitchen is 50/50, but I wouldn't go back to this place anymore.

It is impossible to describe in words) how delicious it is, maybe it is the best bird in Minsk, a masterpiece! I think that the main merit in this is the Italian pizzeria owner, who brought his unique Neapolitan dough recipes. Enjoy it if you are not afraid for your figure. You get used to good things quickly. But sometimes you can pamper yourself)

Among the advantages: delicious pizza Don Carlini and Lasagna. It was as if he really found himself on a narrow European street. An adequate price tag.
Of the cons: when we came for breakfast, not everything was available.
In any case, if you like to eat delicious food, I recommend visiting this place.

The place is wonderful for its atmosphere and taste of dishes. A small, family-type establishment where the cook serves the dishes himself. There are few staff here, so you need to be ready to wait for your order to be accepted if you are caught in rush hour. Please wait a bit, the food is really worth it. We really liked the olives and olives, they were great. The pizza was delicious, salads, cocktails - without comments or complaints. Of the disadvantages of the institution, I would single out a small, not the most equipped and well-maintained toilet. You will not find a modern interior and fresh renovation or unique service here, but all this is fully compensated by the kindness and caring staff, as well as the taste of the dishes

We looked in last night, there were empty, untidy empty tables in the hall. The waitress saw us and rolled her eyes and defiantly left. Returning 5 minutes later, she rolled her eyes again, threw the menu on the bar and told someone in the kitchen to "go work yourself" and continued to do her own thing, ignoring our question whether we could sit down at an empty table.
I do not recommend this place, given the large concentration of restaurants around - it is better to choose a more friendly place where people want to work and earn money!

I ate this kind of pizza only in Italy, incomparably with the usual chain pizzas. No wonder the host is Italian and the guests mostly are too. Such a secluded and pleasant place "for your own". I highly recommend it

Pizza is hardly the main treat for children. Once a week we order pizza from some network. There was free time and a good reason - we came to il Grotino for pizza. Complete delight . A small cozy restaurant. Delicious pizzas - straight from the oven. Attentive waiter . And then the owner came over. The kids are just asking when we're going to go again!

A great family cafe with a homely atmosphere. A set of purely Italian dishes. Great pizza, They praise ice cream. As I understand it, 90% of the products come from Italy. I can't tell by the average price tag -everything tastes and colors as desired .

The pizza is delicious. The risotto was brought not what they ordered, they took it away to redo, but in fact they just added mushrooms on top. A strange taste, either from cheese or something else. In general, it did not go down. Tuna salad is a huge portion, it was enough to eat with a vengeance)) A very friendly waitress, unfortunately, did not remember her name. She is beyond praise 👍

Delicious dough, which means the pizza is delicious. Excellent wine selection. Lemonchela is just a bomb! And the service is beyond praise, such a waiter as Juliana is an example for everyone to follow, she is really glad to every guest, she will not deprive anyone of attention, and if you have already been there, then you will be accepted as a close guest))))
