One of the heroes of the British writer Danny king said: “I wonder if it’s just a coincidence, or is pizza in general a remedy for pessimism.” And let this expression has not yet become winged, at least no one bothers to try. If you want to improve the mood, use the experience of our gastro expert, which suggested that gastro protective the pizzeria “Mario”

Location the network of pizzerias “Mario” is not represented by one institution, but if you plan a walk around the city, we advise you to look into the one that is located on the street of Ivan Kocherha. Getting here is easy from any direction, as public transport is very close. If you go by car, the modern means of navigation will tell you where it is from Velyka Berdychivska Street should turn to Ivan Kocherha Street, but to be sure – focus on the bust of Pushkin. Parking for cars right in front of the window, which is also very convenient for car owners. We knowingly chose this place: if you came to visit who want to see the city, they definitely need to show the Old Boulevard and Chadoir’s Park. Anyone who is at least a little familiar with the history of his native city, stories enough for a long story: the installation of the bust of the poet Pushkin, how he appeared in Zhitomir Boulevard, the Park of the family Chadoirs. A real Italian pizza after a walk through the historic part of the city will be very useful.
The interior Of the modern and stylish space of the pizzeria “Mario” is adapted not only for family gatherings on weekends, but also for a business meeting or a business lunch on weekdays. Zoned space of modern city restaurants has long been no surprise, but the interior of pizzerias has certain features. Traditionally, the Italian pizzerias are extremely appreciated comfort. Another author of the immortal masterpiece “Faust”, German writer and philosopher Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, assured that the pizzerias more comfortable than in French restaurants. Traditionally, everything should be simple, without too glamorous furniture or entourage.
Classic interior of the pizzeria Functional furniture, pizza oven, paintings or murals on the walls. In “Mario” all this is, but the bright pictures on the walls should be said separately: Italian landscapes on the walls immerse guests in a democratic European atmosphere with a rich history, and bright colors pleasing to the eye and uplifting. Oven, which prepares pizza-must have institutions of this type, so that guests can see firsthand the process of birth of the dish. Lighting plays an important role in the interior, and the lamps in Mario are just an explosion of colorfulness. Lamps made in stained glass technique “Tiffany” have their own appeal: practical glass lampshades under the influence of rays give shades of different colors, but not too much. The interior, as part of the overall concept, is designed to cheer up and adjust guests to positive emotions. And although the size of the room is not so big, but thanks to rational planning there is everything you need for quality service. Add, as a final touch, the interior has a lot of live plants that remind you of warm regions in winter, and you will understand that you should forget about pessimism.
Cuisine Just say that the menu has a lot of interesting things. Menu – “designer” for Breakfast, children’s menu, salads, snacks, homemade pasta and lasagna, soups, main dishes, desserts and, of course, pizza. The range of warm drinks is from classic teas and coffee in the original fruit or herbal with honey. Our gastro expert chose a pizza “Quattro Formaggi”. Thin dough with crispy edges, four types of cheese (Gorgonzola, brie, dorblue and mozzarella) and fresh Basil – satisfying, tasty even for those who do not consume meat. There is a special offer for vegetarians – “Vegetoria”, which includes mushrooms and vegetables, but for cheese lovers it is still better “Quattro Formaggi” or Four-cheese pizza. If you have no restrictions on meat dishes, then specify the brand “Mario” – this recipe is more close to the classic pizza. For young visitors who love sweets, there are also many delicious. And even those who monitor the amount of calories consumed, are unlikely to give up the delicate vanilla cheesecake with chocolate syrup. Syrup to taste, but the chocolate is the best means of increasing endorphins. Warm up after a walk will help the original Basil-BlackBerry tea with lemon fresh and pepper. Your variations of dishes will certainly be different, but if you have not tried what our gastro expert chose, be sure to use the recommendations of a person who is an apologist for a healthy diet and calories consumed, but for “Mario” made an exception. The average check at the restaurant, 150 – 200 UAH, but Breakfast from 9.00 to 12.00 can be much cheaper – up to 50 UAH.
The service should be mentioned separately. You will be paid maximum attention to welcome to the threshold and will offer free space. The staff is young but diligent; among the waiters there are those who speak foreign languages. And although on demand you will bring the menu in English, the order in Polish you will also be able to accept. Usually customers are warned about the waiting time of the dish, its composition, and you can express your wishes, which will be taken into account when cooking. Service is good when it is unobtrusive and invisible, and in this place behind you no one will stand: in “Mario” you can call the waiter with the buttons that are on each table. Here, even with the naked eye you can see that the staff is trained and knows the content of the concept of “service culture”. Many in my life “tempered” in catering establishments and knows that this work is not the easiest, but gives some experience and the opportunity to acquire communication skills.
In the European restaurant working students, which comes to earn some money for a couple of hours, and if some of Zhitomir students will be willing to work at least, it is worth asking about the traineeship form.
Interesting things at “Mario” are glad to all guests, but worry about kids with special diligence. In addition to the children’s corner, coloring books and special chairs for the youngest guests, there is also a school for small pizzaiolo. This usually happens on weekends from 10: 00 to 12: 00, but pre-registration is required. If the cheerful company not less than from five children gathers, they will be provided with everything necessary for a master class which on one child costs 90 UAH. In a cheerful company pizza of own production and juice is tastier. If the staff has a small load, the children from three years can take part in the preparation of pizza, and for free. In addition, in the institutions of the network “Salad”, which includes the pizzeria” Mario”, a bonus program that you can activate using your mobile phone. This is very convenient because it does not require a plastic card. And the last, but not the least. Appreciate the time you spent with your family because all the happy moments pass too quickly. And let about sitting in a bright and cozy pizzeria “Mario” are only rosy memories.
