Once upon a time in Moscow & St. Petersburg, a mythical woman named Mari Vanna welcomed diners into her home with open arms, feeding them traditional Russian fare on her finest china and linens. All were welcome and those who frequent were graced with a key of their own to return whenever they wish to this cozy retreat. Now in present day New York City on a popular block between the Flatiron and Gramercy, Mari Vanna has taken up residency and awaits hungry New Yorkers, neighbors and tourists alike who are looking to eat, drink and be merry and finally understand what true Russian hospitality means.
The menu offers time honored Russian classics such as the flavorsome customary soup Borsch with Pampushka, Beets, Broth, Beef, Cabbage, Carrots and Potatoes served with Sour Cream in a beautiful tureen that holds enough for seconds or third. Mari Vanna is open for lunch, brunch and dinner 7 days a week.

Sasha the server was truly amazing. The staff was truly pleasant, especially Konstantine. I truly like coming to this restaurant as I am Russian as well, but it always reminds me of my grandmother’s cooking and a great time.

The food was excellent and so was the service. And i love the decor...except that the graffiti all over the walls was very off-putting. Cyrillic graffiti is still graffiti. We like Mari Vanna but will probably stick to the DC restaurant, where we live.

Fantastic night with wonderful staff! They made my son’s birthday very special singing Happy Birthday in Russian with tambourines. The restaurant was busy and raucous but it added to the festive vibe. We had a great time! Food was delicious and cozy - very homemade tasting.

Took my American friend out to try some Russian cuisine. This place is one of the best in NYC also the decor and music is a plus. Everything we ordered we liked. The place was busy. Our waiter was also busy and not as attentive, he also didn’t try to speak English even though my friend does not speak Russian, but overall I love the spot, been here many times and food never disappoints.

Great spot near Union square. They serve authentic Russian cuisine. The quality of the food is outstanding. Restaurant's staff is very friendly. If anybody wants to try Russian food MariVanna is the perfect spot for that. The drinks are unique too. I tried vodka infused with horseradish. Highly recommend it!

We enjoyed our meal here, tried a lot of foods we'd never had before. The martinis were delicious, loved the blinis with beef, borscht, dumplings, and stuffed cabbage leaves. Delicious honey cake too! There was a large party right next to us that got louder and more boisterous as the evening went on - which is to be expected. :) Just an FYI on the noise levels, it was hard to have a conversation by the end.

We had a lovely time at Mari Vanna. It is very cute restaurant with extremely interesting decor. The food was also extremely good: we tried the pelmeni and cheese pie as a starter. Duck and lamb chops for entrees. It was my daughter’s 13th birthday and the team sang happy birthday with a tambourine when brought out the cake which was a very special touch. Overall a very nice experience
