Itameshi

«Itameshi» is located in Saint Petersburg, at 6 Tashkentskaya Street, building 2, structure 1. The restaurant's cuisine combines Italian, Asian, and signature approaches — a combination that shows up in literally everything: from the way dishes are presented to the details of the interior. Guest tags here are frozen in transparent resin along with hibiscus petals, and the plates are decorated with patterns that echo the venue's overall aesthetic. The dishes carry notes of truffle and yuzu, balsamic vinegar and kaffir lime — a mix of Italian and Asian aromas that creates unexpected flavor combinations. «Itameshi» is Alexey Alekseev's third restaurant in Petersburg, and it stands noticeably apart from the restaurateur's two previous projects, «Inner» and «Futurist». It has its own distinctive style here: blending Italian and Asian culinary traditions produces dishes that are hard to attribute to any single cuisine in its pure form. The place will suit those looking for unconventional flavor pairings who aren't afraid of experiments on the plate — truffle notes sit alongside the citrusy freshness of yuzu, while a classic Italian base gets Asian accents in the form of kaffir lime and other characteristic ingredients.
