Mari Vanna is a richly detailed storybook restaurant space inspired by a cozy St. Petersburg apartment from the last century. Velvet armchairs, lace curtains, vintage porcelain, and Soviet era nostalgia meet timeless elegance to create a warm and cinematic atmosphere. The layout is intimate yet flexible, featuring multiple dining rooms filled with curated antiques, floral wallpaper, chandeliers, and family photo walls. From the warmly lit front room with city facing windows to the bar and back room with banquette seating, every corner feels lived in and full of character. We offer traditional Eastern European cuisine to complement your evening, with a prix fixe menu available upon request. Our kitchen draws inspiration from across the former Soviet Union, including Russian, Ukrainian, Georgian, and Central Asian flavors, all prepared with care and soul. Mari Vanna is ideal for gatherings that call for both atmosphere and authenticity. From fashion dinners and filmed interviews to press launches, live jazz nights, and curated private tastings, the space offers natural warmth, excellent acoustics, and a nostalgic backdrop that looks and feels beautiful. Events can be fully seated or flow style, with standing space and lounge zones. We offer chef driven menus, curated drink pairings, and event coordination upon request. Whether you’re celebrating, filming, or connecting, the space brings people together with charm and soul.
