This is one of my favourite places in town. The food is amazing and i can't say enough wonderful things about the owner Sabina. She makes every dish with pure love and you can taste it! Service and atmosphere is great too. I can't count how many times i've eaten here.

It was our first night in Samara and the first restaurant we stopped by to "check out" the menu. With two vegetarians daughters in the family, we knew it would be a good choice, but not so sure for the other "meat" eater son. Two hours later, we were sitting in the restaurant, enjoying our evening and just finishing up... More

Tried the place on our last night in Samara, and boy, wish we had discovered it earlier! Everything was just perfect, ingredients were literally picked from the garden, service was really friendly, and food tasted just great, and that includes the coffee which was freshly brewed (off course), if you're in the area it's a must.

We love vegetarian food and went here with high expectations given the good reviews on Trip advisor. The restaurant has a great atmosphere and was very clean. The service was laid back but the fellow was almost too casual and came across a bit indifferent initially - he became more engaged as the meal went on. The owner/chef was great... More

This restaurant has the best italian food in Samara. The quality and flavour is amazing. Sabina and Valentina took care of us during out stay and we ate there almost every night. The kids kept begging for it every night. Every dish I tried there is excellent. We especially liked the evening that they had a magician doing tricks for... More

We discovered Ahora Si in the middle of our trip to Samara - and then ate there again 2 more times during our stay. As other reviewers have said, the food is fantastic (and you don't have to be a vegetarian to enjoy it!), the service very personal, and the food is prepared with a lot of love and care.... More

Have to agree with another across the west reviewer, 'on par with the best pasta in NYC' .. The love of life and good food is apparent in every meal. Invited to a 'cooking lesson' on squash ravioli. Watching the chef pick the fresh herbs from the garden while preparing the meal was icing on the cake.

We went several times and their bruschetta are to die for. The food is a little pricy but excellent quality. Most things are home made.

I've worked in professional kitchens for years, and this was some of the best food I've ever tasted. Eggplant Parmigiana, Squash Ravioli, and a Linguine in an avocado cream sauce; all were off the charts. Even with wine, meals are relatively inexpensive. Most ingredients are grown in the restaurant garden and cooked slowly throughout the day, making for full flavor... More

We spent 4 days in Samara and generally enjoyed most of places we went to, but were blown away by Ahora Si. We came here for our last meal looking for something light and healthy. Everything was freshly made and delicious. I ordered pumpkin ravioli and was blown away by the taste. Coming from Canada I was surprised they have... More
