"A beautiful cosy restaurant in the old town part of a very well equipped hotel. The food is just amazing. I love the ciorba dishes the bean soup with smoked pork is super tasty. Also I love the trout dish and the pork steak with chips. And the desert dumplings are mouth watering served with lushes of cream and blueberries jam. Called Papanasi. The restaurant is beautiful, the waiters are very friendly and super efficient and the chef deserves a Michelin star… Give it a few years he or she might get three. I work in food and I know a good thing when I taste it :) I highly recommend this restaurant to visitors and locals alike"

"We've had a stellar experience at this restaurant during our stay at the Aura Unirii hotel. The service and the food were really great and it was just an all-in-all excellent experience. The menu is varied enough to keep everyone happy, with a good selection of appetizers, soups, and main courses. The desserts were really tasty. The wine selection is superb, with wines from various countries being available. The service was great, our waiter was very careful with our order, always coming back to ask about the dishes and to pour wine when it was needed. A 3-course meal (appetizer, soup, main course, and dessert) and a wine bottle will set you back approximately 500 lei (€100)."

"Enjoyed a nice summer night with friends on the terrace. The food was good and tasty, but very annoying that there were many flies all over the terrace and sitting on our food, not so pleasant. I ate octopus on the grill with potatoes, a bit salty but tasty, and lava cake with ice cream for dessert. The service was ok-ish... , only one waitress for the entire terrace,not really paying attention to us,for sure she couldn't have done it, serving alone. Will return to try something else."

"The restaurant serves truly delicious food — we ordered a Margherita and a Capricciosa pizza, both perfectly made with fresh ingredients, thin crust, and great flavor. The service, however, was a bit slow, even though the place wasn’t busy. Still, overall I’d give it 5 stars — 5 for the food, 4 for the service."
