Tallinn / Dining / Italian


 

Not only is Bocca blessed with tasteful interior designer Pille Lausmäe, who won an award for his decor in this restaurant, but it also has a skillful chef taking care of an impressive variety of appetisers, pastas and main courses. This quite expensive— by Tallinn standards—place would be a good option to impress a business partner.

 

Hidden in Katariina passage, one of the most beautiful little streets of Tallinn, Controvento is an icon of high-quality Italian cuisine in a romantic atmosphere. The extensive menu includes delicious lamb chops with thyme in black olive sauce. Reservations are recommended.

 

This Italian-run establishment, divided into a more formal restaurant and an easygoing café, fills the niche of quality Italian restaurant with modest prices and trendy interior. The oven-baked pizzas are a real bargain, given their quality. Tourists and young locals make up most of the clientele.

 

The lights may seem a bit too bright in this small Italian, but the modestly portioned and reasonably priced food is delicious. A number of small tables available in addition to family-size tables make this a good post for solo dining.
