IL Patio

This Italian chain restaurant (find them at Nevsky Prospekt 30 as well) is a good stop off point for lunch, with its tasty wood-fired pizzas and impressive selection of Mediterrean mains and salads. One gimmick that sets it apart from similar establishments is their so-called 'Pastissimo station', where they prepare fresh pasta on the open fire right before your very eyes. You can even order pasta dishes according to your own recipe - so your childrens' dream of tasting chocolate-flavoured spaghetti might just come true! Friendly service, modern interiors and very reasonable prices ensure IL Patio's popularity.
