Iva

«Iva» is located in the Valo apart-complex on Salova Street, within walking distance of Chernyshevskaya metro station. The menu features European, signature, and Italian dishes, with an average check per person of about 1,500 rubles. The restaurant's name (meaning "willow" in Russian) is echoed in the interior: an installation in the center of the ceiling recreates the drooping branches of a willow tree. The menu is compact and built around simple, comforting food. Starters include tartares and hummus, among them a spinach version, as well as a fish-based appetizer. «Iva» works equally well for breakfast or for a full European-style lunch or dinner with Italian touches.
