Casa Nostra

Casa Nostra sits on Karen Demirchyan street in Kentron and runs an Italian menu built around pizza, pasta and a long wine list. Starters include meat and cheese platters, bruschetta, burrata with tomato tartare and marinated olives, while salads range from roast beef and grilled avocado to Caesar and shrimp with arugula. Soups cover seafood, tomato with burrata and a mushroom cream with truffle paste. Pizza options go from Margherita (3500֏) and Diavola to a mushroom pizza with fresh truffle (12000֏). Pasta includes spinach-ricotta ravioli with truffle, rabbit ragu ravioli, mushroom tagliatelle with truffle and linguine with clams and mussels, alongside mushroom or vegetable risotto. Mains lean toward seafood and meat: saltimbocca, sea bass acqua pazza, dorado, tuna, salmon with smoked pepper risotto and a truffle-sauce filet rossini, priced 7000–13700֏. Desserts include cannoli, tiramisù, salame and pavlova esotica. The drink list runs from espresso and fresh juices to signature cocktails, Italian aperitivi, whisky, tequila and an extensive wine selection spanning Italian, French, Armenian and New Zealand bottles, plus Champagne and spumante. With a check around 11000֏, it suits diners after a full Italian dinner with wine pairing options rather than a quick bite.
