Mari Vanna NYC is the 5th restaurant in a magical story of a woman’s love for food, friends, and hospitality turned into an international franchise. Nestled in the quiet of 20th st in the heart of Flatiron, the quaint eatery has been a neighborhood staple for 15 years.

It is filled with antique furniture, lace drapery, cozy armchairs, Soviet nick-nacks, crystal chandeliers, and floral china. Our team will treat you with a menu full of home-style dishes from Russian, Ukrainian,and Georgian cuisines, accompanied by house-infused flavored vodkas and signature cocktails.

Whether you are looking for a home-away-from-home or a place of culinary and cultural discovery – come as guests and leave as family! Mari Vanna is truly a unique experience, so do not forget to ask your hosts for our stories of presidents, princes, and spies, our opulent Caviar offerings, or Key Member Events and Music Nights.

    The food was delicious! We had a variety of appetizers, entrees, and desserts. Our waitress, Nelly, was very knowledgeable about the dishes, gave great recommendations, and had a welcoming energy. Plus, the decor was homey and the bathroom was clean. I would definitely go back!
