La Celletta

St Petersburg


La Celletta has gained a strong local following for its beautifully executed risottos, pastas and desserts (including a rich tiramisu) – all served up at excellent prices (reservations advised). The pizza, however, is the star of the show.

The Italian team behind the casual, bright-yellow eatery turns out perfectly pillowy crusts, topped with juicy cherry tomatoes, plump porcini mushrooms and thin-sliced prosciutto (as well as mystifying Russian favourites like potatoes and boiled eggs). Don't overlook the gelato counter near the entrance.
