July 10, 2020 Rosalyn Ihle

Find out what Italian restaurants to try in Odessa. With just over a million people, Odessa is Ukraine’s fourth-largest city. Set in the country’s south along the Black Sea coast, Odessa was founded in the late 18th century as a Russian naval fortress. For many years in the mid-19th century, it was a free port, becoming home to a multinational populace. In 1905, it was the site of a major Russian Revolution uprising by crew members of the Battleship Potemkin. The nice old town area has a beautiful opera house, and the city has many great beaches.

Traveler's Coffee

Reviewed By lauren f

The coffee and food are good, the atmosphere is really nice.DON'T BOTHER GOING. They have a terrible reservation system in which most of the tables are empty but "reserved". I spent a month in Odessa walking past it several times every day. The majority of the time the majority of the tables are empty, but with a reserved sign on them. I was able to get in twice and stayed for at least an hour each time. The number of empty tables was 2/3'rds to half (empty). In that time, I watched the staff turn away many potential clients, but the number of empty tables didn't change. Nor did they rotate (filled then empty). The empty tables just stayed empty. The majority of times I tried to get a table, I was also turned away. At least a half dozen times. The excuse being "they are reserved". This is a TERRIBLE policy. The owners should be told that this policy is causing them a loss of revenue. It should be first come first serve (with a potential reservation system on the weekends and after working hours). The management needs to rethink this. There are many other nice cafes in Odessa who actually want your business, so don't waste your time even stopping by.Hi Lauren!We do appreciate that you didn't hesitate and took your time to leave a feedback.We apologize that you experienced negative emotions, but be sure, that your comment is noticed by our management and we will do our best to solve the situation!Hope to see you again soon one time!

Searching for a quiet place in crowded touristic Odessa we found this great restaurant. Only 15 mn away from the city center, this cozy unique restaurant is located. Original interior with lots of books, cozy paces fot two, and big sofas for big companies. Lovely terrasse with citrus trees and a small stage for live sets. Great kitchen with variety of food: typical Odessa seafood cuisine, original salads and second dishes, pizza, pasta and extremely tasty deserts! We tried different types of pizza, salmon pasta, "forshmak" - everything was really good. Great choice of alcoholic and non alcoholic drinks ( lemonade with raspberry and maple syrup, different shorts produced in-house). Highly recommend for those who want to enjoy lovely time away from crowdy center, with extremely good food.Hello and thank you for your kind review. We are glad you found us and look forward to welcoming you back again soon where you can enjoy some more delicious home-cooked dishes from our new menu! With kind regards

We were for a dinner unfortunately we ate one dish for another, this because the staff did not speak English.The dishes were very salty and we were not satisfied at all, as the service did nothing to apologize, for example by offering something or making a discount on the bill.

We visited this restaurant twice. For the first time we stopped for something easy. The food was reasonable and not beyond. The dessert is not good.We decided to give them another chance. We went there after two days. We sat at the table for over half an hour and no waiter came over to us. In the end we decided to abandon the place.Do not recommend at all.Hello!

Odessa is not known for warm service in restaurants and while getting quality food is not a problem like in this restaurant, it also stands out with really great service. Pasta was amazing, so was pizza (we took another one for sharing afterwards). And for 6 people dine&wine we paid approx 1250 UAH. Which is cheap for such qualityDear elbalive, Thank you for the review. Saremo felici che le è piaciuto da noi! Looking forward to welcoming you back in Pasta&Pizza!
