The Meschino family opened a pizzeria on the food-centric Vilnius Gatvė in 1996 and, over the years, it has evolved into this smart, formal spot. Two small dining rooms are elegantly decked out with mirrors, chandeliers and linen-clad tables; in summer though, head for the flower-decked terrace. The chef may be Lithuanian, but you’d never know, as he follows the Italian principles of good ingredients, simple preparation and maximum flavour. The homemade pastas are a highlight – such as red maltagliati with lamb ragout, boletus and cream sauce – and interesting Italian wines accompany.
