Piccolino Kyiv

Piccolino sits on Olesia Honchara St, a twenty-five-minute walk from St. Sophia’s Cathedral. The restaurant focuses on Italian and Mediterranean classics and holds a Wine Spectator Excellence Award.

While many central Italian spots in Kyiv use heavy décor, Piccolino runs smart and favors the wine list over the room’s trim. This is the place to choose when you want to bypass the frantic energy of Khreshchatyk Street; it provides a dedicated dining room rather than a transit point. If you want a focus on the bottle, this works better than the busier tables located closer to the Golden Gate.
