Loved it again - we visit each time we’re in the City. This was an anniversary, and the food was even more amazing than ever. Lovely salads, scallopini, three pastas on one plate, Chianti and Champagne. Dessert took the entire experience over the top - tartuffo !! Would recommend this place to anyone who enjoys REAL Italian food.

I recently dined at Sveta and it was an incredible experience from start to finish. The food was absolutely delicious—every dish was packed with flavor, and the drinks were just as impressive. The ambiance was beautiful, with a cozy yet elegant vibe that made the evening feel special. The staff were also fantastic, polite, and attentive without being overbearing. Overall, it was a perfect dining experience, and I can’t wait to come back! Highly recommend!
