Casa Nostra

Casa Nostra sits on Demirchyan Street in central Yerevan, doing Italian cooking at a level that draws both locals and visitors. The kitchen handles pizza with care—thin crust, proper toppings—and pastas that don't pretend to be something they're not. You'll see business lunches, couples, small groups rotating through; it's the kind of place people book ahead for. At 11,000 dram for two, you're paying mid-range Kentron prices for food that justifies it. Nearly 300 reviews averaging 4.7 speaks to consistency over hype. The space works for a weeknight dinner or weekend table.

Things to note: Booking ahead is smart on weekends; the space is compact and fills up quickly.
