Before, St. Petersburgers needed to get an EU visa to go and have real Italian pizza. To remedy the situation, the power duo behind Il Milanese restaurant – Marco and Pippo – opened Il Milanese Pizzeria and brought in chef Marco Pennizi straight from Italy, who in turn brought with him his nonna's secret recipes! So if it's real Italian pizza you're after, then it's real Italian pizza you will get. And if Marco or Pippo are around, they'll personally see to it that you receive the kind of hospitality that Italians take so much pride in.
