Our visit to this restaurant was a very pleasant encounter, though the food was inconsistent. Our starters were brushette with gorgonzola cheese which I found very tasty but the other starter of mixed grilled mushrooms left a lot 2 be desired. The majority of the mushrooms looked like the stems fron other mushrooms but were slimy and didn.t taste very... More

Used to frequent this place a lot when I lived in Bucharest, all the waiters are friendly and professional, service is pretty quick for such a large restaurant and the prices are very normal and well balanced, the quality of the food is excellent.

Great atmosphere and dessert but main courses are good but not great. The price was high for Romania and the staff were attentive but there are so many other options at better prices.

This restaurant is not exactly a chain but has many locations in the city. maybe that is the problem. The place was packed, no doubt by people who have no clue what is real, authentic pizza. Or perhaps they were smart and were ordering anything except the pizza. Well I was not smart I guess. The pizza was awful, the... More

Like many places...it depends on the staff! We went here for lunch on our first afternoon as it was opposite our hotel. We sat outside and received excellent service and very good food. However on another day we had dinner, food was not well cooked and lacked flavour and some very grumpy staff!

First of all watch out: this is a chain with different places! I am reporting on the Park Herestrau one. I have been there a number of times with friends. I normally don't like to go to italian restaurant abroad because normally they are sub-standard italian average. I have to admit this is an exception. The range of choice is... More

Did you know that Calcio is Italian for football? Nor did I. So the décor here is huge painted panels of perhaps long forgotten football occasions, which leaves me cold. The front of house welcoming was also cold and unsmiling. What is it with these young women who treat everyone as though they'd just crept out from under a stone?... More

Many options on the menu/ list. Good food, the same for the service. Decent prices. However it is a little too crowded for me, especially it there is a football/ soccer match on TV. Try to book before (during the weekend it's a must!).

Great food (and I mean real tasty italian food), friendly staff opened to different types of requirements, waiting time reasonable for a very crowded evening made it the perfect place for me and my colleagues to have dinner. Prices are above the average, but the quality of service make it worth.
