Right in the center of Almaty, on Kabanbay Batyr St 83, an Italian restaurant awaits its guests. As soon as you enter the restaurant, you notice that you are not only in a very attractively designed restaurant, but that you are also being looked after by the service-oriented staff, as the first greeting takes place right at the entrance.
Almaty was the capital of the then young independent Kazakhstan until 1997. For various reasons, it was decided that Astana would become the capital of the ninth largest state in the world. Almaty remains a very important city and is considered the cultural center of Kazakhstan. It is therefore not surprising that there is also top international gastronomy here.
Friendly staff in a beautifully designed restaurant
Top gastronomy should not always be understood as the number of stars or toques, but rather what the operator serves up and offers. The Del Papa in Almaty is at the forefront because both the beautifully designed restaurant and the quality of the food and drinks score points. The price is in the upper middle class by local standards.
For Europeans this means that you get a very good price-performance ratio. In Almaty, the wage level is significantly higher than in the rest of the huge country, which is why prices in the catering industry tend to be significantly higher than, for example, in the plateau, where income levels are not exactly good compared to Europe.
The atmosphere at Del Papa is very cozy and could be described as a bit of a rustic restaurant. However, one can definitely consider critically that one or two decorative items would not have been needed after all, because the line between “beautiful” and “looks kitschy” is thin and a completely subjective matter.
The staff is friendly, helpful and service-oriented, although they hardly speak any English. But a simple basic knowledge of Russian or Kazakh is helpful, but not necessary. In gastronomy you can somehow communicate all over the world and in an international city like Almaty the staff is used to the fact that the guests can also lack foreign language skills. You find a way to get the great food.
Fresh and delicious food
Various salads, antipasti, vegetables, fish in a sauce, cheese and bodja were chosen as starters. The size of what was served alone would probably have been enough as a main course. The fresh food was tasty and of top quality.
The main courses we tried were a burger with homemade fries and a rocket beef pizza. Both dishes were freshly prepared and not only met expectations, but exceeded them. It should be noted that this restaurant obviously attaches great importance to “the eye eats with the eye”, because the presentation of both the starter and the main course was visually appealing. The mango cheesecake, which was chosen to round off the successful dinner, was also top.
When it comes to drinks, the offering has an Italian influence, which is not surprising since you are in a restaurant that specializes in Italian cuisine. By the way, the menu is exactly the golden mean in terms of size and is available in English, Kazakh and Russian. Of course, local drinks such as beers, wines and lemonades are also offered.
Good Italian dishes in Almaty
There is nothing to criticize about the cleanliness of the restaurant and the washrooms. Absolutely exemplary and one or two restaurateurs in Europe should follow an example. Just note that the unisex toilet is a little small and there may be very short waiting times.
As mentioned at the beginning, Del Papa Almaty is in the local upper middle class. In terms of price, it is also located here for locals, but for people with European wages, it has a very good price-performance ratio. All the dishes offered here made a fresh and attractive impression. In terms of taste, these were simply very good. The portion size is sometimes very large, but varies depending on the type of dish that is ordered.
Next time you visit Almaty, if you need lunch or dinner at an Italian restaurant, consider Del Papa. Since it is also very popular with the locals, you should reserve in advance by phone or online to be sure to get a seat in the outdoor dining area or inside.
