Osteria by Mandy's

«Osteria by Mandy's» is an intimate Italian restaurant on Chistoprudny Boulevard, 12s6. The menu features European and Italian cuisine: pizza, pasta and wine occupy a prominent place in it, so you can easily drop in for a glass of wine with an appetizer or for a full meal. The interior is designed with a light, almost homey casualness in mind. The floor is tiled, the ceiling has exposed utilities, which gives the space a touch of industrial feel. At the same time, the chairs at the tables are mismatched, and the white walls feature laconic graphic drawings. Checkered tablecloths add a Provençal mood to the interior, softening the space's urban character. This combination of textured details — exposed pipes, simple tiles and textile tablecloths — creates a contrast between brutality and the coziness of a café somewhere in the south of France or in the Italian countryside. Its location on Chistoprudny Boulevard makes the restaurant a convenient spot for those strolling around this area of central Moscow who want to grab some Italian food along the way without unnecessary pretentiousness.
