Our story began long before
Dina Semenovna was a descendant of the first Greek settlers in Mariupol. She carried on her heritage through food, creating a place where people gathered like family. Her restaurant, Kalmius, became legendary—serving thousands of guests daily, known for its traditional Greek dishes and famous chebureks, which were sold by the tens of thousands. But war erased it, leaving behind only memories and a deep love for gastronomy.
Today, its traditions live on through Alexei, Dina’s grandson, and his family. Together, they created Alisa as a tribute to their family’s legacy, reimagined in a modern way. Here, guests will find carefully adapted Greek dishes, a thoughtfully curated wine selection, and an atmosphere that invites unhurried conversations.
