Mozzarella

Mozzarella sits on Moskovyan Street in the heart of Kentron, right behind the National Gallery — a minute's walk from Republic Square metro. The dining room has a mural of Celentano and wicker lampshades, giving it a classic Italian feel that suits both a quick coffee stop and a full sit-down meal. Breakfast runs 10:00–13:00 with options like the Big Italian Breakfast (4900֏) or oatmeal with berries (1500–1800֏ depending on milk). The rest of the menu covers antipasti such as burrata and tomatoes (4900֏) or fritto misto (3500֏), salads like pear-gorgonzola (2900֏), and soups including mushroom cappuccino (1900֏). Ravioli comes filled with chicken or ricotta-truffle (3200֏ each), while fresh pasta ranges from alfredo (2900֏) to pesto burrata (4500֏). Neapolitan pizzas start at Margherita (2900֏) and go up to the Burrata Bomba versions with pesto or bolognese (5500–5900֏). Main courses include chicken involtini with polenta (3500֏), veal tenderloin with mashed potato (4900֏), and barbecue ribs with fries (4800֏). For dessert, the Viva Italia — shaped like Italy — costs 2900֏, alongside tiramisu (2500֏) and San Sebastián cake (2100֏). With an average check around 11000 AMD, it works for a breakfast break after museum visits or a longer pizza-and-pasta dinner in the center.
