The Concept is great but the execution of the dishes did not meet up to expectations. the Chef needs to review the dishes...I had the special oriental rice dish /. rice was not cooked throughly (so the dish in effect failed).shrimp and meat overcooked; a...great dish if it was prepared correctly; Cesar salad...the dressing is too strong...no flavor of the truffle;; asparagus risotto; excellent. could be presented with a little more fear I RECOMMEND THIS RESTAUERANT; It could have been an off night but I could imagine how good this food experience could be; there was no truffle flavor/. a hint but not enough for me/. use truffle oil in sautéing the rice...etc. much to say go to this place service was top/ good waiterMore

The restaurant is located in a popular leisure area lined with restaurants called Kalaja e Tiranes (Tirana Castle). We normally avoid tourist traps and this is a perfect example of why. The restaurant majors on meals containing truffle and being slightly different, we thought we...would give it a try. We chose black truffle, mushroom and mashed potato stuffed chicken and a vegetarian and truffle risotto accompanied with a salad. We also wanted to sample our first Albanian wine of our holiday. We duly ordered but the waiter brought us a more expensive salad than we asked for and a more expensive wine which wasn't even on the wine list. At 5,000 Lek this was the most expensive meal of our trip. The salad was small. Both main meals were small portions too. The risotto was quite dry and it contained sliced olives which made it quite salty. The chicken meal was okay but we have had much better dining on our trip and the up selling was disappointing.More

Wow. You have to make this one of your stops when in Tirana. I love truffle so am biased but the food was absolutely delicious. Incredibly fresh, wonderful to look at and so delicious. The service was very good with attentive and knowledgeable staff who...went the extra mile to make our evening one to remember. Next time I plan to have the Burrata, the only thing missing from our meal. Thankyou to all the staff and we wish you all the bestMore

Truly an amazing experience. Both the food and service were excellent, especially the Risotto is a recommendation which stood out for me. Paired with an excellent bottle of wine, it was the perfect finishing night of our vacation in Tirana!

The restaurant was nice, but the weather was so hot, and you can hardly breathe. There are few tables inside and it smells. Despite the atmosphere, the service was good, and the food was nice.

The Truffle Shop is an amazing experience! The staff is awesome and the food is absolutely delicious. The quantity of food is more than enough and the price is very reasonable especially for such high quality food. We visited first two days ago and had...to return tonight for another wonderful meal! The next time we are in town we will return! We wish that this was closer to our home… We recommend the Truffle Shop to anyone who enjoys 5 star quality food.More

We had one night in Tirana between visiting Sarande and going up to Greece. Finding Tartuf turned out to be an amazing meal and experience. All of their dishes are fresh tasting, great portions and reasonably priced. The truffle dishes were such a unique menu...compared to most places nearby. Finally, our waiter was excellent - over the top kind, knowledgeable and a great conversation. Couldn't be any happier with our decision to come here.More

Best lunch we had in Albania! I had the burrata with tartufo for starter and then the spaghetti aglio olio e tartufo and it was delicious! Really nice place also, situated in a super cozy food/souvenir area in an old setting. Recommend!

From the service, to the location and most importantly the incredible food made our experience in Tirana even more special. I had the truffle carbonara and honestly this is the best dish I have ever had. The mango shrimp risotto my fiancé had, 10/10 again....If I could physically eat everything on the menu I would try it all. Recommendation would be garlic bread to be introduced and maybe truffle chips as a side. Highly recommend this restaurant!More

The beef and asparagus truffle risotto is the gold standard for risotto lovers. As one of my favorite dishes, I usually order risotto at every restaurant I go to. This really was the best I’ve had.

Has great food, and the truffle is made locally and served generously on each plate. Service is friendly and patient and remains one of my favorite spots in Tirana.
