About Essenza
The essence of flavour, without distraction
Essenza is Mauro Panebianco’s first signature restaurant in Moscow. The project is built around the idea of essence — respect for ingredients, flavour and craft. Every detail, from the menu to the interior, is designed to feel natural, warm and quietly refined.
The culinary experience
Mediterranean character, interpreted in Moscow
The kitchen follows three principles: clarity, balance and attention to detail. Seasonal produce, precise technique and familiar Mediterranean references come together in dishes that are expressive yet never overworked.
“The product should remain recognisable. Our task is to reveal its character.”
Atmosphere
A calm space for long conversations
