The restaurant was amazing! Everything starting with booking table and a very pleasant greeting at the door was great. Service was outstanding, we had a waiter who remembered without writing it down the order for five people including all appetizers ! He was also very helpful with recommending us dishes and drinks , he went above and beyond describing dishes even though it was very busy ! The food was amazing as well , high quality food, fresh , and presentation is outstanding ! My personal favorite was herring with onions and potatoes .

We had a very nice dinner, a fairly unique experience, authentic Russian cousine. To look loop MomWe started with pirozhki, Russian dumpling, they three kinds and you have to pick one in each order. I suggest ordering one of each kind and splitting. The choices are cabbage, beef, and mushroom. Even those who did not think they would like cabbage, thought it was the best. Borscht and creamy mushroom mushroom soup were served at the same time as pirozhki, and they did go well together. We were also served Russian dark and white bread. We liked both. Chicken kiev and beef Stroganoff were the entries and I liked the beef better. Beware that if you cut chiken kiev it will explode with oil gushing out. The deserts were the weakest course. I was disappointed in Napoleon flavor and texture. Cherry vareniki has a better flavor, tart source was nice. The service was very good, and the general atmosphere was attractive and pleasant.
Note that entrance is hidden. You have to go down a narrow path to the back. We could not find it right away. Google navigation kept telling us we passed it both directions until we finally figured it out.

Best Russian restaurant in Boston. Fight me.
Everything we had were absolutely delicious. Originally in Brookline, they moved to Newton in 2006, and thriving ever since. Amazingly authentic and delicious Russian food I didn’t realize that I need!
Love the Borscht, exactly what I wanted and remembered. Rich tomato beefy broth with cabbage and carrots inside. The secret was in the broth, absolutely divine. Pirozhki was also amazing. You choose the different flavors they offer, we got cabbage and egg&scallions. Cabbage filling was flavorful, seasoned with dill, very fresh and vibrant. Egg&scallion filling was also delicious, but cabbage was the clear winner.
For main course, cabbage rolls were a must try. This was not like other cabbage rolls you would have had. The meat inside was well seasoned and tender, paired with a rich tomato sauce, full of tomato umami. Oxtail meat pie was also another perfection. Pie crust was buttery and flakey, not a single doughy spot. Tender oxtail meat filling paired perfectly with the mashed potatoes.
If you want a Russian meal to remember, this is the place.

Everything was fantastic and accurately made!
It’s a nice place so I’d recommend dressing up a bit. Food was so good, that I ate and forgot to photograph it )))
Must trys:
Varenyki, Pelmeni, Chicken Kyiv, Napoleon cake.
I recommend reserving a seat, but I didn’t have to wait.
I will come here my birthday.

Absolutely delicious and authentic experience at Café St. Petersburg in Newton! The vareniki with cherry were incredible — soft, juicy, and perfectly sweet, just like in Eastern Europe. You can really taste the love and tradition in every bite.
If you’re looking for authentic Russian and Eastern European food near Boston, this is the place to go. The atmosphere is cozy and elegant, the live music makes it feel like a celebration, and the staff are always warm and welcoming.
Highly recommend Café St. Petersburg for anyone who loves traditional Russian cuisine, Ukrainian food, homemade pelmeni, borscht, beef stroganoff, or dumplings with cherries. A true gem for anyone who wants a taste of real Slavic hospitality right here in Newton, MA!
Don’t miss their weekend events and live entertainment nights — amazing vibes every time!

If you’re looking for real Russian food in Newton, Café St. Petersburg is a must-visit! I tried the Pozharsky cutlets and they were absolutely incredible—crispy on the outside, juicy and flavorful inside, and paired perfectly with the sides. It’s one of those dishes that feels homemade yet elevated, truly authentic.
What made the evening even more special was the atmosphere. We came for dinner and ended up staying for one of their fun events with amazing live music—the vibe was energetic, welcoming, and so different from anywhere else in the area.
Café St. Petersburg is not just a restaurant, it’s a cultural experience. Between the warm service, the unique events, and the delicious menu, this is one of the best places for anyone craving authentic Russian cuisine in the Boston area. We’ll definitely be back!

We’ve been going to cafe SP for over 20 years. In fact I had my second date with my Russian husband (I’m American) at the original place in Brookline village. We’ve always been loyal bc the food was honey and my husband always needed his fix of Russian cuisine. I can’t say how impressed I’ve been by the new owners food!! It seems refreshed and the food is absolutely delicious. From the cranberry infused vodka, Borscht, Blini and finally to the syrnitki (sp?) dessert everything was yum!! Also they have music and great singers on Saturday nights. The waiters are so kind, professional and capable. Just know it’s not usually a quiet place. Russians like to party.

This is an excellent spot to try some Eastern European or mostly Russian food in the heart of newton.
Parking can be tricky with all that’s happening in the Langley lot and surroundings and it’s not so easy to find the entrance – the new management has done some work to make it easier to find but it could be easier if there was some more signs for first time visitors.
Once you are in – the ambiance is a but “cavern-like” but the service and food will more than make up for it.
We went back recently as we were told by friends that there is a new management and food and service has become better if anything.
It is all true – the same great food and really warm service…
The caviar starter and the chicken liver pate – which was served with honey and salt – were great and the drinks are tasty – and strong! (My wife asks for them to make it half strength every time!)
Mains were excellent – though the stroganoff was not quite as good as I’ve had before.
I don’t know how many times I would recommend a side dish specifically but the risotto side dish is a MUST try. They are also super generous with the bread which was all excellent.
Desserts are all generous portions and very good
We will be back again and this seems to be one of those management changes that don’t alter the soul of the place.

Eastern European food, especially good Eastern European food, is hard to come by. Café St. Petersburg has been on my list for a couple of years, and I’m glad I finally made the trip.
Everything from the service to the complimentary borodinsky bread (which I’ve now developed a love for) the entrées has been excellent.
The friendly staff are very happy to answer any questions about the menu, and they know what to recommend if you have any hesitations on what to order.
