OUR HISTORY
With A Rich Tradition
The history of Russian Samovar starts well before the restaurant itself. Originally Jilly’s Canteen, and owned by friend of Frank Sinatra, Jilly Rizzo, Samovar was the go to hot spot for Sinatra and The Rat Pack. In homage to Sinatra, Johnny Carson, and the good old boys, we decided to maintain the original red banquettes from back in those days. We also preserved the original bar as featured in The Manchurian Candidate and even unearthed original artwork from the talented people who frequented Jilly’s before we were fortunate enough to acquire this landmark location.

Branzino and county styled lamb were excellent. Service was very attentive. The ambiance was even better once the live piano music began.

Fantastic place for fine dining on the northwest edge of the theater district...In my case, I had a Georgian savory spiced cheesy bread as a starter (Khachapuri), and then delightfully spiced, grilled lamb lollypops (Karski) which were fantastic, wrapping things up with a lovely apple strudel...

Are you looking for a restaurant to go to before or after a Broadway show? Russian Samovar is located right in the theater district in Manhattan, NY, and has live music. Full bar, incredible food, ambiance, and service. Indoor dining only. Don't forget to order a vodka flight and hot tea.
