Rustic place, has some traditional food but also classical chicken/pork steak/schnitzel. Prices from 15/17 lei up, garniture not included. The food was delicious, service was great but there weren't too many customers.

All from excellent above...food quality, variety, waiters, service all you can ask for. The location is nice with a generous Terrace and also places inside for the cold weather times. I always eat there when I go to Ramnicu Valcea. If you ever reach there don't miss it!

We stopped in Rm. Vâlcea to have dinner and this was a really good choice. We had a caprese salad which was ok, but with some additions to the original recipe, a tomato soup which was great. We also had the tagliatelle ai funghi, which could have used better mushrooms – these were good, but they were ordinary super-maket champignons – and the spinach with cheese made in the oven which was excellent and mixed really well with the pasta.
For desert we had a tiramisu, which was ok but did not impress me in any way, but the raspberry sauce ice cream was truly fantastic.

When I have a trip in the area, I stop to eat here. The food is pretty good, the sizes are big at the second plates. I can recommend the soups and the pasta; the meat is also tasty. The prices are ok.

I have visited the place on the second day of Christmas.
- The place is loud, me and my friends had difficulties understanding each other because of the music.
- Everything goes slow. There was just a single employee for about half of the restaurant.
- The food was average. Nothing of what we expected. Avoid quattro formaggi pizza and pasta!

Nice setting just outside the city center, traditional atmosphere with flags, wood and live music. A lot of choice, but beware: portions are pantagruelic, served in big round dishes, starting with a fantastic bowl of fresh bread! Mici, carnati and other staples are very tasty! Come, eat well and return home as satisfied as you could be.

Maybe the best pub in town! Great food! (but quite expensive) Music just a little too loud (it's a pub, not a nightclub). Ventilation needs improvement.

The restaurant is located in the center of the town and we came across it while looking for a place to eat. The trip advisor reviews looked positive so we gave it a go. The restaurant offers "italian dishes" and Romanian.
We've encountered small hurdles from beginning. The waitress seemed reluctant to approach the table.
We soon discovered that omelets were not available since they run out of eggs. I know this was lunch time but hey, it's written in the menu. She left, giving us time to look again at the menu and came back telling us, they found eggs.
We placed our order for the omelets, a margarita pizza, cabbage salad, soup and 2 focaccia.
It took the food a lot of time to come and by then we were very hungry.
The focaccia was not really a focaccia but a pizza dough with some herbs and olive, dry and pretty tasteless. We asked the waitress to have a look and get it back to the chef. She tried to tell us that what is written in the menu is reflected on the plate but eventually she took them back to the kitchen. They came back with added oil on top. Not a huge change.
By the end of the meal:
- the waitress was friendly and nice enough not to argue with us as I've encountered in other places. She was helpful.
- the food was poor to average. The salad was bland, the focaccia, not really a focaccia, the soup ok and the omelets acceptable. The pizza was well cooked, initially should have had a lot more items in it but we asked for it to be plain.
- the restaurant looks nice but the dishes are too expensive for their quality.
- while I can understand the chef's license to be creative when the dishes advertised are world recognized, the quality and appearance should reflect the original. Otherwise just change the name.
While this place might be good enough for some travelers or locals, it is a place where I do not want to go back and I cannot recommend. With a quite expensive, poor food the ambiance is not enough the make up for the negatives.
It didn't appear to be wheelchair friendly. The parking was limited on site but we didn't use it. There was no wifi offered.
