La Prima Vanalinn. Tallinn, Estonia

This authentic Italian restaurant in the heart of Tallinn’s Old Town is a spot where tasteful, warm atmosphere and hospitality merge into a unique gastronomic experience. The restaurant is highly acclaimed by both guests and critics: it is ranked as the best local Italian restaurant and pizzeria on Tripadvisor and has received official recognition from the Italian government — the Ospitalità Italiana certification — as the first restaurant in the Baltic States to earn this distinction.

The restaurant opened in 2013 as a family business with traditional pizza as the basis of the menu. Today, it is one of the most beloved Italian venues among residents and visitors of Tallinn. In the evenings, it is especially lively as the music plays and the dim lights shine to signature cocktails and cheerful conversations among friends and families.

The interior of La Prima Vanalinn has many references to Italy: bright accents, cozy furniture and the main decoration of the hall — a calamondino tree with a round table for large groups. The restaurant is perfect for a family lunch, a meeting with friends or a romantic dinner. For little guests, toys are provided so that they don’t get bored while waiting for their order.

The restaurant menu is based on the best traditions of Italian cuisine and includes pasta, pizza, meat and cheese appetizers, dishes for two and, of course, real Italian desserts. For cooking, they use products that are delivered directly from Italy as well as products from trusted local producers.

Particular attention should be paid to the original presentation of some dishes. For example, for pasta with black truffle, the chef brings out a large head of cheese and melts it with live fire before serving, making it a spectacular and incredibly delicious show.

We recommend trying:
– pasta with black truffle,
– pizza with burrata,
– a set of appetizers for two,
– meat plate with prosciutto.

The pride of the restaurant is the wine list created in collaboration with leading wineries in Italy. Here, you will find rare wines that are difficult to find in any other in place.
