Super nice tiny Italian Restaurant. With it's atmosphere I would say the only place that actually uses the european concept of a family-run restaurant on Italian manner ( Trattoria)- simply tables on the street, nice food. Nothing fancy, yet very elegant. Located near very nice pedestrian street ( Valikhanov) and near the former House of Scientists ( Soviet times).

There is a life-hack here. If you go to Green Bazaar ( inside the main covered pavilion), you can find stalls with wonderful Korean food. Very authentic, very yummy.
You can just go along the tables and try food on the spot ( ladies are always offering to try their food on the site), or you can buy variety of salads in small portions and enjoy those at home.
