IL Ristorante, an Italian cuisine restaurant, is located on the first floor of the Stella di Mosca hotel, with a convenient entrance from Bolshaya Nikitskaya Street. Executive Chef Manuel Pisu focuses on high-quality seasonal ingredients, offering a modern interpretation of classic Italian dishes. Among the menu’s highlights are tagliatelle Bolognese with Parmesan mousse, sea bass with shellfish and lemon sauce, octopus Luciana-style, and the emblematic Piedmontese dish, vitello tonnato – tender veal in a sauce made with bluefin tuna, capers, and anchovies.
Manuel Pisu was born in Sardinia. He began his gastronomic journey as a child, working part-time in the family bakery. After completing his education in Cagliari, he gained his initial experience in luxury Porto Cervo hotels. Later, he graduated from École Ritz Escoffier, the legendary culinary and pastry arts school in Paris. Manuel then moved to Monte Carlo, where he worked alongside the renowned three-star Michelin Chef Mauro Colagreco. Today the Executive Chef of Stella di Mosca Hotel sees his future in Russia.
Manuel Pisu’s work pays tribute to Italian gastronomic traditions and the cuisine of his native Sardinia, but reassembles the traditional ingredients and flavors of his childhood to create bold, innovative dishes for IL Ristorante’s menu.
