Ankyun

Top choice in Yerevan


Ask local foodies to nominate the best Italian food in town, and they inevitably choose this place. The chef uses seasonal ingredients to create pizzas, antipasti, pasta, grills and excellent versions of classic desserts such as tiramisu and panna cotta. The decor nods towards Tuscany, and the staff are both professional and friendly.
