Fodor's Review:
Whitewashed walls and wood-panel ceilings inside this popular restaurant named for Georgian artist Niko Pirosmani re-create the aura of an artist's studio. Copies of Pirosmani's naive art decorate the walls. Try to sit by the window in the main hall or on the balcony so you can enjoy beautiful views of New Maiden's Convent, across the pond from the restaurant. The menu reads like a Georgian cookbook. The specialties are shashlyk po-mirzaansky (shish kebab with mushrooms) and adzhakhuri (pork cutlet and potatoes, with pomegranate seeds). The kitchen also serves delightful khinkali, Georgian meat dumplings. Order a bottle of Georgian wine to accompany your meal.

Worst Russian Meal
Posted by Coffee01 from Boston, MA on 10/7/07
Traveling for a week in Moscow and St. Petersburg, the only bad meal we had was at U Pirosmani. A pork cutlet under melted cheese was all gristle and cost over $30, without sides. A chicken dish in a tasty cream sauce had virutally no meat on the bones and cost about $20. Though the atmosphere was appealing, it was obvious they were trying to fob off sub-standard food on the tourists. And when he was over, they said they temporarily couldn't accept credit cards. We were lucky to have had just enough rubles in our wallet. According to prominent photos, Bill Clinton ate at this restaurant in 1995. Apparently, he had a better meal than we did.
