Controvento

Controvento, or 'against the wind' (remember the old proverb?), is surely Tallinn's most prominent Italian restaurant. Tucked away in the charming Katariina passage in the Old Town, it has been delighting locals, expats and tourists for years with its traditional Mediterrean cuisine, done as only the Italians know how. Your favourite pizza and pasta dishes go down a treat with a bottle from their extensive wine list, and the setting - wooden ceilings and floors, in a medieval house adorned with stained glassed windows - is hard to beat. Make sure you reserve ahead then, if you fancy a taste of the Dolce Vita.

love the risotto and filetto tartufato! go there everytime!

Great pizza!

Controvento is the best Italian restaurant in Tallinn by far. The atmosphere is lovely, largely due to the impressive building the restaurant is housed in. The menu is beautiful, and the prices are very reasonable for that quality of food. If you are going on a Friday or a Saturday, I´d recommend you book a table in advance, as it does get really busy.

the best place in tallinn to eat simply good food, good atmophere and good service! my first time was in 96 and of course since then a lot has changed but the restoran is always the same,welcoming and very warm especially during the cold winter.
one place to recommend to all my friends from italy and from london!!
the owner is a great person but one only thing i would love to suggest: please put some italian staff on the floor it may make it even more original but for the rest dont change anything!!
well done to the best in estonia!!
