Meanwhile, the Rigatoni with Pesto / Ригатони С Песто delights with fresh basil and perfectly al dente pasta, a lighter yet vibrant option. Families are well catered for, too, with comforting and kid-friendly options like Kids Pasta with Chicken / Детская Паста C Курицей and classic sides such as Chicken Nuggets and Mashed Potatoes ensuring everyone leaves happy.

Don’t forget to save room for dessert. The Honey Cake / Медовик enchants with its delicate layers infused with raw honey and silky sour cream frosting, while the Milk Cake / Молочная Девочка indulges the sweet tooth with creamy, dreamy richness.
