Eating in Tartu: La Dolce Vita

First Impressions

In this restaurant you get the feeling of a traditional Italian restaurant. The atmosphere is of any restaurant in Florence, Rome or any other Italian city. The television in the corner shows Italian channels, most often the weather forecasts reminding you of the everlasting sun in Italy that you are not experiencing during the dark, long winter months in Estonia. The ceiling arches, checkered tablecloths, Serrano hams and Italian ice cream display are just screaming: "l'Italia, l'Italia, l'Italia"! The service is variable, sometimes the waiters are attentive, and sometimes not, which is quite normal in Estonia. 

The Food

The menu is authentic including antipasti, first courses, seconds courses and classic desserts. A finishing touch of authenticity is brought by the fact that the menu is written also in Italian. The pizzas are baked in an authentic wood-fired oven and it makes all the difference. The pizza menu is extensive, lasting several pages with white and red pizzas and calzones. The daily pasta and pizza cost 4.5 euros. The price range of the pizzas varies between 7-12 euros. Main courses are 10-20 euros.

Bokkila ordered:

Pizza Iberica - This is a heavenly red pizza with mozzarella, cured beef, Brie cheese and rucola. What a new and delicious outtake on a pizza! 5/5.

Ravioli caprino e pere - A light and creamy fresh goat cheese and pear ravioli. The ravioli is hand made and cooked to a perfect al dente. Every ingredient goes well together, complimenting each other. Best pasta in Tartu. 5/5
