For a very visible restaurant on a tourist thoroughfare, you ought not to be surprised that it’s a little bit expensive in here. But the fact that they offer decent food is a pleasant surprise - they could get away with a lot worse. As such, this is a suitable standby for visitors who are milling around Old Town and don't mind paying a little extra for a convenient location and excellent people-watching potential.

Subtle frescoes and a chucked-together jumble of junk-shop furniture give this place a quirky yet cosy atmosphere. The food, of which there is a decent variety, is quite flavoursome, but may not fill up a hungry tum - unless you order the lasagne. A nice selection of wines are availa [...]

Bright, clean and design-mag rustic inside, and also taking advantage of one of Vilnius’s loveliest courtyards, this genuinely Italian restaurant has a lot going for it. But even without such style and location, we’d come for the food and wine. The polenta and ravioli are divine an [...]

Universiteto 4

Open:
11:00-23:00

It’s got a French sounding name, an Italian-themed menu and a location over the river where no one tends to go. The food is also a bit all over the place, with occasional disappointment lurking among mostly wonderful meals that are skilfully prepared and reasonably priced. The setting is pleasant, with a great view of the castle on the hill. Service is, erm… variable. Overall, worth a stroll over the bridge for a quiet, relaxed and pleasant dining experience.

Mon-Fri 11:00-19:00. Evenings and weekends only by appointment.
Located in Vilnius's shiny business appendage ('mini Wall St.' to some of the locals), and a great place to watch people 'do lunch' and dangle their ties in their soup. The interior is slick and warm: smeared with style but also very open an airy. A bit out of town but a good op [...]

Perfect for any Italians who may whish to zoom in, order an espresso, down it in ten seconds at the bar and then leave. But as a restaurant, it’s not great. When asked what is inside the ravioli, our waitress answered ‘nothing’. We ordered the nothing ravioli and discovered it con [...]

Crammed with rococo furniture bling and swishing curtains and other gosh-I’m-posh visual extravaganza. But somewhat more subtle and refined in the kitchen department. You can expect good, basic and tasty food prepared and presented with a subtle touch of style but little highfalutin nonsense. The in-house pasta is pretty good, meat dishes are nicely prepared and they’re not too posh to let you have chips with them. So it’s okay for Americans and children. Oh – and they have pizza. So it’s okay for Lithuanians, too. Service is excellent in all but very busy times, and even then you can sit comfortably and watch people shivering at the bus stop out the window while you wait.

St. Valentino
Come along with your book or your date (whichever is more interesting) and nestle into the back room for a cosy evening. Even once you’ve deciphered the multi-lingual menu you’ll notice there’s plenty to choose from. All the dishes are pretty straightforward and are made with [...]
