We had a party with about 30 people and they could arrange it without problems. We had typical Italian foods, antipasto, pizza, mixed grill and tiramisu. Everything tasted good and there was food much more than enogh.

Very good food, lots of choices. Fairly good service. We waited a while until we were able to order dessert. I highly recommend it. It’s a little out of the way but worth looking for it.

Not everyday you find a place where pizza is original, pasta is home made, and mussels are fresh. And the owner recommends wines. Italian or otherwise. And good looking staff.

They "splash" me in facebook. Advisor, 20 % cheaper. OK. Look for delivery. It works. I wrote address delivery, in site appear like proximity but i can't open the map. Ok. I pay with Visa with delivery free. Next, phone call. A lady: you are...not in proximity, you have to pay another 14 ron. Look for cancel order if you don't want. This don't exist.Lady: I can't help you! One pizza with extra souce 63+14 ron. "Definitively isn't the place where the customer have right ! When he have not, look at previous phrase..."

I discovered La Cena restaurant due to a disco DJ evening organized there once a month, and it was a super fun night, very entertaining, a lot of dancing on the 80’s and 90’s music, great food and service, and good wine. During the week...it has a very relaxed and cosy atmosphere, with the bar and trattoria downstairs and the restaurant on the 1st floor. The owner is almost always there welcoming the clients, and the staff is very professional and friendly. The place is perfect for private events as well. From spring till autumn the large terrace in front of the restaurant is a great place to relax and spend quality time with friends or family. I highly recommend the place!More

Nice location. Clean comfortable outside space with nice Italian music. One of the best pizza I ever had. Beats hands down Pizzicato from back home at 1/4 of the price. Service can use some improvement as in all Romanian restaurants. A Smile and “how do...you like your meal “ will be a good start.More

Nice location, especially the terrace. Service was ok but hectic and late, mixing the orders of the party. Some of the food was nice, some inexpressive. The definitely don’t know to cook asparagus.

I visited this restaurant for the first time at the suggestion of some friends. I was pleasantly surprised by the taste that reminds me very much of Italy. Both main dishes, desserts, drinks. Very friendly staff, clean restaurant, fast service. Prices a bit above average,...but given the area, it's understandable. As a recommendation, portions are small reported to the price. I ate the soup, the paste, a slice of focaccia, dessert. Honestly ... I did not get enough. Good food quality, small portions.More

We went to dine after a theater representation in a small group of friends one night during working days. Restaurant wasn't crowded, nice staff in delightful atmosphere (nice music). Dishes were tasty and came quick. I will for sure repeat the experience.

The food, the wines, the desserts are top class. The place is underestimated because most people treat it like a neighbourhood restaurant, which it is not. The owner, who is present at most times, could guide you thru the menu, food, wines and desserts of...which he is a fan. Best Italian rose in town and I speak from expereince. There is a wonderful terrace - spring, summer, fall - we used it last week. Service, in my experience was wonderful. If you like good Italian food and wine, by all means go there. You will not be disapointed. I was not.More
