It is always best to book a table in advance, especially if you plan eating on Friday and Saturday nights. Some restaurants have begun adding in the service charge so check your bill. Tipping is optional and usually about 10% is seen as normal.
Pizzeria Napule is quite simply the best Italian Pizza and Italian food restaurant you will find in Kiev (Kyiv). The restaurant speciality is the thin crust Neapolitan pizza which (my Italian friend tells me) is "just like mamma used to make". Pizza Napule was the first Ukrainian pizzeria to receive Associazione Verace Pizza Napoletana certificate confirming that their pizza is authentically Neapolitan. And the chef-pizzaiolo who was born in Naples controls the quality of pizzas (dough and ingredients) every day.

Musafir Middle Eastern Restaurant
Best Georgian restaurant in Kiev (Kyiv). If you have never eaten Georgian food or drank Georgian wine then you are definitely in for a treat. The food here is delicious, fresh and tasty. And for sure you must try some Georgian wine. There is an extensive wine list but the attentive staff will be only to pleased to guide you to the right choice. It is situated in a central location not far from Taras Shevchenko national University of Kyiv. This is an authentic Georgian restaurant, friendly staff and great service. Prices are a little higher than the average for Kyiv, but you will not be disappointed.
Restaurant Smorodina is situated on the left bank away from the main tourist route which is on the right bank. Great location on an embankment by the riverside. The quality of the food is excellent and cooking takes place in an open kitchen so you can see your food being prepared. Nice relaxed atmosphere, attentive service and a perfect place to enjoy a romantic meal or a table with friends. Very nice terrace with a park view facing the river where smoking is allowed. Slightly expensive by local standards but very affordable compared to Western prices and worth paying the extra for.
Best Turkish food in Kiev (Kyiv).
Kebab Dash is a halal restaurant serving the best traditional Turkish dishes in Kyiv. The meat dishes are cooked on an open fire, tender tasty aromatic chunks of deliciousness. There are lots of tasty dishes to choose from but we especially recommend Tavuk sis & Kuzu sis. This is a good place for lunch or evening meal. Great value super Turkish restaurant.
Located in the centre of Kiev (Kyiv) but a little bit hidden away. Nearest metro station is Olimpiiska.
