Pizza, pinsa and self-imported wine on Gediminas Avenue

RB Bistro is a small, much-loved bistro at Gedimino pr. 44a, on the city's grand central avenue in the New Town. It trades on a sense of passion and hospitality: the room is cosy, warm and intimate, and the service draws repeated praise for being friendly, professional and genuinely knowledgeable — especially when it comes to wine pairings. The menu mixes time-tested classics with more inventive dishes, built around fresh, local ingredients and served from breakfast right through to dinner.

The headline, though, is the pizza. Both the pizzas and the pinsas (the lighter, longer-fermented Roman-style flatbread) have earned a reputation as some of the best in the city, often described as juicy and exceptional. Alongside them sit a popular beef tartare, a well-regarded weekend brunch, and signature cocktails — plus the bistro's standout calling card, a curated, self-imported wine selection that you can drink in or buy to take away.

Good to know

RB Bistro works best as a sit-down experience — diners recommend eating in over takeout to get the room and the service at their best. A few note that prices feel high for the location, which is worth keeping in mind, though the quality of the pizza and the wine list generally justifies it. Its central Gediminas Avenue address makes it an easy stop while exploring the New Town; confirm current hours and the brunch schedule with the venue before visiting.
