So glad a friend recommended this place. The food is outstanding. We had such a delicious dinner that we came back for lunch the last day, which was our last meal in Saint Petersburg. The staff was kind. Waitress recommended a perfect Georgian wine. Over the course of two meals we had mushroom soup (yum), Georgian salad, bread with the delicious cheese (addictive), chicken in a tomato sauce (divine), chicken in garlic cream sauce (tasty), lavash bread, stuffed mushrooms, veal, chicken kebab (delicious red sauce). Now we try to recreate the meals at home! Yes, it is true they added a 10% service charge, but I would have tipped them that much anyway. I don’t feel it is a rip off or a way to get at tourists and it doesn’t change my opinion of them. Thank you Rustivel for giving us great memories. We hope to visit you again one day!

When we entered the place, we seemed to be not welcomed because a waitor said nothing to us even he stared at us. But a waitress was pretty kind to us until we left the place after our dinner. We had sea bass, lamb kebab, and other food. All of them were tasty. White wine was great and the illy coffee and ice cream were delicious. Most of all, the price of the food was reasonable. I'd like to come and visit the place again....

Definitely this place is popular. The food is just great - the price is approximately 350-600 rubles. Fast service. A lot of Georgians authentic exquisite vines, not cheap - but it's a good quality. 500 rubles for khachapury - big round flat bread with salty fatty Georgian feta cheese inside - sounds expensive, but you can't stop to eat it, it's so delicious! I ordered Rustaveli Salad with eggplant and pomegranate seeds. The dish is unique, the taste is good.

Delicious. Beautiful mouthwatering photo menu making it easy to order as a foreigner. Service was kind and the design of the place is perfectly quaint. You can tell the owners have good taste in more than just food. If I move here, I'll be a regular.

Nice friendly vibe to this place. Extensive menu with all the Georgian favourites. Great place to recharge the batteries after a visit to the Hermitage.

Excellent, attentive service. Server spoke English and advised me on how to eat each dish. I ordered way too much food for one person, but it was all DELICIOUS. If you have a buddy to share it with, have the house wine, khatchapuri, and khinkali...you won't regret it!

Excellent food served by agreable and English speaking staff. The food is tasty and flavorful. We would have been full without a side dish. The juice was fresh as advertised. The menu is in English with pictures which is an excellent point. Bathrooms were clean as well. Overall a great place and I highly recommend it. Went there a 2nd time and it was great as well

Very tasty food, staff are very nice. The restaurant is located near the Hermitage museum, the Savior-on-the-blood cathedral and the bustling Nevsky avenue. Despite being close to the center, it is positioned in a quiet neighborhood. I felt welcome there, prices are reasonable and most importantly I enjoyed the food.
