I come here regularly and I am always served great food, be it a "simple" pizza, a steak or seafood pasta. I recommend to make a reservation if you are planning on coming here on the weekend.

Not a cheap place, by any means. But quite authentic with an Italian chef. Many Italians in Baku eat there. And one night when I was there before Eurovision weekend the Italian delegation showed up. They seemed to like it.

As much as I know it is the oldest Italian restaurant in Baku and to my opinion is the best one. Excellent food, quality service, reasonable prices. Open buffet business lunch is very good. Last time have tried the sea bass cooked and served by the Italian chef himself. It was something unbelievable. Thank you Elio!

This is the best Italian restaurant in Baku. Food is very tasty and the service is also good. Inside the restaurant, too, like in Italy.

I went for a dinner in Scalini after few years and i found it top quality as i had let it. Service and food was of first class italian style. The place is warm and familiar. I can raccomand to play at a visit during you stay in Baku to taste apice of Italy in Azerbaijan.
