The first noticeable thing about Guramma Italiana, is, without doubts, its incredible location on Dniprovs'kyi descent, overlooking panorama of the Dnipro. The restaurant has 150 seats, located both inside the venue and on a terrace to enjoy the light breeze. Besides, live Italian music fills the restaurant’s halls on weekends. Another quirk of the place is staff — all waiters here are called Francesco, and waitresses are all Claudia. They give visitors a business card with their phone number for the quick access.

The cuisine at Guramma Italiana is authentic head to toe, starting from the ingredients like cheese, flour, and truffles that are brought straight from Italy to the customary open kitchen, where the chef’s team make a show out of preparing dishes. 
One more authentic element in the restaurant is a large oven, where the skillful staff makes the real Italian pizza. There are tips to try pizza with Scamorza cheese, prosciutto, and zucchini. Those who prefer spicy picks might be interested in a classic Diavola with the prime Piccante salami.
