Mari Vanna is a Russian restaurant that serves amazing food in a cozy, authentic atmosphere, resembling an old-fashioned dining room of a great-grandmother. The menu offers a wide range of traditional Russian dishes, including borscht, mushroom soup, pirozhki, vareniki, chicken kiev, and medovik. Guests have noted that the quality of the food is comparable to what one would find in a good restaurant in Moscow. The decor enhances the ambiance, with a TV playing old Eastern European television shows, creating a nostalgic feel. The service is polite and attentive; the waiters are friendly and do not rush guests to leave. Although the music can be a bit loud, the atmosphere remains welcoming. Overall, Mari Vanna is a great choice for anyone interested in trying authentic Russian cuisine. Be sure to try the beef Rossini, the delicious bread served at each table, and the house-infused vodkas, which are amazing. Vegetarian options are available, such as the spectacular eggplant salad with breaded fried eggplant, tasty cherry tomatoes, and warmed cream cheese. The restaurant is known for accommodating last-minute reservations, making it a convenient option for visitors.
