The story
On Malaya Nikitskaya, in a quiet corner of central Moscow, Mina brings a distinctly Italian sensibility to the table. The restaurant is part of the Probka group, a family of establishments that includes popular spots in Moscow, St. Petersburg, Yerevan, and Berlin. At Mina, the focus is on straightforward, well-executed Italian cooking served throughout the day.
The restaurant is open from morning until late evening, with a dedicated breakfast service on weekdays and weekends. Guests can also order their favourite dishes for takeaway, making it a versatile choice for both a relaxed meal and a quick, quality dinner at home.
Mina’s wine list earned it a Wine Spectator Award of Excellence in 2022, a recognition that speaks to the care taken in curating a selection that complements the Italian menu. The restaurant offers gift sets – including chocolate truffles Dolce Vita and Bordeaux wines by the magnum – as well as gift cards, making it a thoughtful stop for those looking to bring a taste of Mina home.
While the atmosphere and specific dishes are not detailed in the available material, the consistent presence of the Probka group’s founder, Aram Mnatsakanov, hints at a commitment to hospitality that has made these restaurants local favourites. For anyone seeking Italian cuisine in Moscow, Mina offers a reliable, award-winning option on a classic city street.
