Mario's has always ranked as one of the top Italian restaurants in Moscow, but some foodies say the resident Italian chef has turned it into the best restaurant in town. Using ingredients flown in twice a week from Italy, the kitchen creates consistently wonderful pasta dishes, such as a splendid tagliatelle with cream, mushrooms, and fresh truffles. The carpaccio never fails. The meat and fish dishes are also excellent. The restaurant has one of the best (and most private) summer gardens in town, favored by many a Russian star and nouveau riche millionaire, bodyguards in tow.
