“Don't bother- 50 minutes for a soup!”

Easily the slowest customer service I've experienced in the city. 6 ladies sitting around on their phones. I ordered Borsch which was never processed, 4 requests later and 50 minutes later it arrived. It was nice but not amazing. I had to ask for the cheque 4 times as the ladies were all on calls on their phones or in videos. Very poor reflection of the city which otherwise has been amazing.

Don't bother coming here!

Despite the name and billing as an Italian restaurant, it is reportedly owned by a Georgian family and has two menus, one Italian and one Georgian - you apparently have to know about the latter and ask for it. The group I was with ordered from both and the food was overall good. There were some good Georgian wines on offer. The service on the other hand was some of the worst I have experienced; when we tried to order, after the first item the waiter would bolt off before taking the rest of our order and not show up again for 10-15 min. It took forever to even get drinks. Having been to several restaurants in Dushanbe, this may be a local thing rather than specifically this restaurant though…

My family and myself are in love with that place. Though, it's not among the cheapest restaurants but emotions you gain there are worth of any money. The place is well designed, the staff is client oriented, the meal is delicious. Recommend especially for the romantic evenings.

It has two sections: Georgian and Italian cuisine. We chose the Georgian and it was great! The food was excellent and the wine was good. Service was attentive and decor was pleasing.
