This restaurant is a true delight! The food is amazing, with a menu that’s regularly updated to keep things fresh and exciting. The staff is super attentive and professional, making every visit a pleasure. The garden is simply wonderful, offering a perfect setting for a relaxed meal. Yes, it’s on the pricier side, but absolutely worth it for the quality, service, and ambiance. Highly recommended!

The stuff was very nice, providing high level service! Food serving was really pretty and pleasant and the atmosphere overall was incredible – it felt very tranquil and away from the city noise. I only ate pizza margarita and the taste was not much impressive for me. One thing that bothered me a bit is being served by a russian speaking waiter. Altough all my friends and I speak excellent russian, I have my opinion about it, which, however, didn’t ruin the evening at all.

Very beautiful place with orange walls and cozy backyard to seat and enjoy Yerevan evening. The music was good, atmosphere was friendly and warm. Be sure to order the tiramisu which is the recommendation of this restaurant. Prices are fine and affordable compare to the other restaurants in Saryan. Perfect dating place) I'm going to return for a meal order.

We stopped here after a long journey, the assortment was not very wide, but the dishes were delicious. What should you expect from an Italian restaurant in Armenia?) Slightly large portions, it would be more pleasant to have a snack than to have a full lunch or dinner. Prices are slightly higher than in the city.

Good afternoon! I want to express my great gratitude for such a place in Yerevan, we came to have lunch with you, of course, on the recommendation and were absolutely delighted! All the dishes are at the highest level, so the next visit to Yerevan will not be complete without visiting you! Special thanks to the girl who served us that day, unfortunately they did not ask her name (we were with you on 13.04 in the lunch area). Apricots with mascarpone have fallen into my heart, I will dream about them until my next visit. You are wonderful! Shat shnorakalutsiun! 🫶🏼

This is the best restaurant we have visited in Yerevan! The atmosphere, the interior, the service and of course the food! We highly recommend it to lovers and not only of Italian cuisine with hints of the east.. our recommendation is a cocktail resembling lemon sorbet (unfortunately I don't remember the name) - delicious and original

We were a family at lunch. We booked in advance. A table in the courtyard in an open place (very cozy and intimate!). The service is at a good level. The food is delicious, especially artichokes with parmesan cheese and ravioli with eggplant and chickpeas. Desserts were especially noted: stewed apricots, bizet and Mina cake, a real delight from all three!!! The restaurant is not budget friendly.

It's like Italy. Magical pasta, delicious pizza and simply delicious desserts. I really liked the interior. And we had a great time. Of the minor drawbacks, I would like to note the slightly sluggish service and not very tasty cocktails (but this was explained to us by the restaurant's own concept for their preparation)

Not impressed. Or it didn't reach us. A certain table is not reserved, but when the room is empty, they are seated at a specific table without the right to choose. But I am glad that the hostess is not alone, all the girls speak Russian fluently, they are quite friendly. The courtyard is very nice, cozy, and clean. Umbrellas and sprayers are pleasing. I love white tablecloths, but the impression and tactile feeling are spoiled by papers fixed on top of the tablecloth. The table, by the way, was not able to fit all our dishes. That's why the pizza was on the shelf, which was an extra barrier during the dialogue, and they didn't put the lamp on the table at all when they were on all the other tables. By the time we left, only 2-3 tables were occupied. And why it was necessary to choose this particular small table, where there is an aisle on three sides, is a mystery. The dishes are not wow. Literally, none of the things ordered could be said to be "delicious." Just neutral. And indeed, very inexpressive tastes, muted and overly refined. But this is Italy. Colorful, juicy, vibrant, and even somewhat assertive and exuberant. The prices are above average. For what? Well, maybe for the quality of the ingredients, but what's the point if it just wasn't delicious. By the way, we didn't see the service. The waiter is extremely taciturn and emotionless. God be with him, but four times to pass by a table where dirty dishes literally interfere with a meal.. Except for a beautiful picture on a date where the sommelier will help you choose the wine. But the atmosphere is extremely restrained and somehow even inanimate. There is definitely potential, I wish you success!

Maybe I had high expectations from the restaurant, but Aram Mnatsakanov opened it after all. What did you like? It's a very atmospheric courtyard, and having dinner on the street at the very end of October is 5 stars at once. I liked the selection of Armenian wines, the chosen wine turned out to be interesting, my friend took a cocktail. We ordered together, but first they brought me wine, and after a while a cocktail, although according to the rules of etiquette, drinks are brought at the same time. I understand that it takes longer to prepare a cocktail than to bring a drink, but still, one should not sit with a drink while the other looks at it. And we also didn't have any cloth napkins. Otherwise, there are no complaints about the service, friendly staff. As a compliment, they brought awesome whipped butter and thin crusty bread (I don't know the name). I had cauliflower for a starter, too soft, overcooked, without structure. Average. A friend took a caprese. Classic, delicious. I had ravioli with cheese as the main course, and my friend had pasta with truffle. The truffles were served heartily, not just truffle oil or pasta. For lovers of this fragrant mushroom, you can definitely recommend it. Tiramisu was recommended for dessert. Quite ordinary, not the most airy cream, excessive sweetness, which was slightly shaded by coffee. Summary - an atmospheric, cozy place, we had a great time, but there were no revelations or special delight from the food. The restaurant positions itself as Lebanese-Italian, the menu has dishes from both cuisines, I expected that there would be some kind of mix, a new interpretation - notes of Lebanese cuisine will be added to the Italian dish, and vice versa. As it is, the standard kitchen is not in perfect condition. I wish the institution prosperity! I really liked the courtyard! Because of him, I recommend visiting the restaurant first!!!

The main trump card of Mina is a spacious veranda, which seems to be a portal to another world. Here, behind the passage between the houses, cozy ordinariness and sophistication coexist: while the restaurant's guests enjoy delicious dishes, just a stone's throw away, a simple family sits behind a wooden picket fence, having dinner with homemade food to the laughter of children and the clink of cups. This contrast only highlights the magic of the place.: you are both *here* and *there* — among the starry lights of Yerevan, comfortable chairs with deep seats and the smoky aroma of the barbecue that floats in the air, as if neighbors are sharing a piece of their warm meal. Desserts are worth coming back for.

It's a very cozy place, nice to sit in the inner garden, the pizza is great, the service is excellent. However, the level of breakfast does not correspond to the title of a super restorant, which "cannot be entered with personal protection": 1. oatmeal is the most ordinary, everything is done at home no worse and not even a single berry is decorated 2. similarly, scrambled eggs - two eggs and a piece of toast, not a single greenie, cucumber or something else. In total, a normal high-quality simple breakfast, but not 5 stars from a cool restaurant. I recommend visiting this place, but do not build high expectations.

Incredibly atmospheric place, very friendly staff, delicious cuisine. There are a lot of different halls: garden, living room, veranda, office of the Deputy. The whole team speaks equally well both in their native Armenian, but also in English and Russian. Such caring service is rarely found anywhere. Not only can they tell you everything about the dishes and wines, but they will also give you a tour of the orange house.

It's a strange place. Exorbitant pathos, accompanied by the same prices. And, strangest of all, some kind of mess instead of a menu. The chef, for some reason, launched a line of high Italian cuisine (you won't eat pizza there - there's none) and mixed this cuisine with Armenian cuisine. As a result, the menu intersects vitello tonato (by the way, average in taste) and Armenian kufta. Why, it's not clear!?!?! I don't recommend it, only if you want to have a messy meal at a high price...

Aram's establishments in Moscow are very popular. I did not miss the opportunity to visit the Yerevan Mine – they did not let me down, the service was attentive, the veranda was very beautiful, the cuisine was delicious, the price tag was Moscow. An acquaintance with Armenian white wine and cocktails based on Ararat also took place here.

Frankly undercooked cacho pepe (I often take it, and on one of the last visits it was really bad, the staff apologized, but that's it) 2. Serving tiramisu upside down))) without trying to change or flip anything at least)

Not bad, but we expected a lot more! A beautiful and instagrammable place, yes! The serving of some dishes is original, but there was nothing ordinary or over-the-top to taste. As for prices, they are significantly higher than the average for the city. We understand that there is an extra charge for the location and interior, but, unfortunately, the quality of the dishes and their presentation do not quite justify the cost. The service is also not up to par, in such a pricing policy it should be much better.

The expectations were too high. A restaurant with Italian cuisine and poor service. They brought out 3 cookies for 5 as a compliment.. They didn't warn me that they were allergic to lemon zest. They didn't apologize for it in any way. I had to wait 30 minutes for coffee. I had to eat dessert without a drink.

The place was unexpectedly upset. It looks like a nice, pleasant service. It's delicious in the kitchen, but nothing catches on. But....The hostess is to bring two people to a table where there is one chair, and where the second one should be, drips from above, hitting the table. And wait for us to sit down. Where to? On top of the table?

I love all Aram Mikhailovich's restons in St. Petersburg. We've been walking for 20 years. Always consistent quality and service. I didn't even think about where to go in Yerevan. A cozy courtyard! Good service and delicious!! Be sure to take pizza with ham and truffle cream, pasta with crab. For fans of healthy food, I recommend tabouleh salad and Sevan trout in herbs (a portion is suitable for two) For sweets, my favorite pizza with nutella. And Aram Mnatsakanov's cold signature prosecco.

We visited this institution in February 2025. The tomatoes that were served with the burrata were already tired, and the cocktail was not very good (whiskey sour is made without foam). The pizza was already cold. I think that for the price level that the restaurant has, everything should be much better.

IT'S NOT DELICIOUS... unfortunately. The pasta is dry, tasteless, there is no sauce or parmesan; Something like turkey schnitzel (I don't remember the name) - the waiter advised - it's like a 5-year-old child cooking, a lot of greasy batter, it looks worse on a plate than fast food.. Simplicity can be both good and interesting, but you need to be able to achieve it.. At the same time, the establishment has a whole swarm of useless workers, a busboy assistant) and the prices are correspondingly inflated. I'll never come here again and I won't recommend it to anyone.

Unfortunately or fortunately, I cannot assess the quality and taste characteristics of the dishes offered at Mina, because I respect myself enough not to linger in a place where the service and customer orientation are approximately at the bottom level. My friend and I came, we booked a table in advance in the courtyard - by the way, it's really very cozy and cute. We were seated at the first small table at the entrance, with several more tables available in more comfortable areas of the courtyard. The request to change the table was refused, referring to the reservation. While we were sitting and waiting for a solution to the issue of replacing the table, we were not offered either water (on a very hot day) or a stand for bags. All these nuances form an impression even before ordering the dishes, it is strange that the staff of this institution does not understand this. Considering the huge number of very decent restaurants in Yerevan, it is simply unacceptable to show such a low level of service.

We walked through the streets of Yerevan and quite by chance came to this restaurant. A nice receptionist offered to wait a couple of minutes and they would prepare a table for us, because it was a full landing. What we always evaluate in establishments: the quality , taste of food and service. And all this was beyond praise. A wonderful young man who served us. He was attentive and prompted with a choice! Surprisingly, there was no service fee in the receipt and of course we left a tip of more than 10%! Looking at the service in Yerevan, it is possible that the fact that it is included is mandatory - the waiters do not work efficiently. And for good service, it's always a good idea to tip more than 10%! We highly recommend you to visit!
