Best meal of our entire month- long trip! I can't say enough about the food and the service. I had the pork, which was crunchy on the outside and tender in the middle, and my friend had one of the pizzas, which she said was really tasty. She had the Caprese salad and I had the Halloumi salad. We loved them! Our waiter, even with big groups, was excellent. I wish I was staying another night just to return.
Really enjoyed the atmosphere. Very friendly staff, food was great. They assemble the tiramisu in front of you which is an experience itself. Also the minestrone is great. Loved it!
For a surprise it was an excellent surprise: very good Italian ingredients, very good service and cozy atmosphere. The best Italian restaurant in Bucharest so far. I waited to go there a second time before writing my review and without any doubt it is an excellent restaurant!
We sat outside (only table we could get - booking is recommended) and it was a chilly day, but blankets provided and a heater by the table kept us cosy. Menu is a standard Italian fare , but what sets this restaurant apart is the quality of the food and the quality of the service. Both were great, the food was delicious and the service friendly and informal.
A nice place with amazing food. We had pizza, grilled octopus and lasagna, all very good. For dessert, I highly recommend the Tiramisu, they prepare it in front of you :) The staff is kind, helpful and polite. Even with the place fully booked, the waiter was always available, and the drinks arrived quickly. The place has a small garden, with a lot of shade, very pleasant in the summer (I recommend making a reservation outside).
