About Mashenka
Is Mashenka worth booking in Moscow right now? The basics are direct: Mashenka is an Italian trattoria in Moscow with a smart casual dress code and a price of $70 per person. Beyond that, the strongest grounded way to judge the restaurant is by its listed signature dishes rather than by claims about format, service, design, drinks, or awards.
The signature dishes point to a more distinctive meal than the trattoria label alone might suggest: crab cabbage rolls with potato mousseline, crayfish sausages with mashed potatoes and bisque sauce, potato doughnuts with red caviar, gray shchi from the oven, hazel-grouse pâté with apple braga, Borodinsky tiramisu, medovik with beeswax ice cream. If those dishes sound appealing, Mashenka has a clearer case than if you are simply looking for a generic Italian meal in Moscow.
