Basement bar, Value-for-money food, Great seafood risottos.
Cozily hidden away in a basement near Kazan Street, once you pass through Testo’s understated entrance, you will enter a quaint modern whitewashed interior with low hanging lights. Meaning dough in Russian, Testo offers the most value-for-money among the many St Petersburg Italian restaurants. It sits in the city’s historic quarter, a stone’s throw away from St Isaac’s Cathedral. Stop by for an espresso or some of the cheap house wines.
