Great spot to catch up with friends over a proper meal. Staff were friendly and our food arrived fast. Solid pick if you&#39;re in Manastur and hungry.

The chicken with mushroom stew and polenta was exactly what I needed on a chilly evening. Portion was generous, no complaints there. Service was quick even though the place was pretty busy on Sunday. My only small thing&mdash;the chairs are a bit hard, so I wouldn&#39;t stay for hours. But for a solid, no-fuss meal, it did the job.

The value lunch here is a solid deal&mdash;pizza and pasta were both good. Service was quick and friendly, which I appreciated. Just wish the seating was a bit more comfortable.

Been coming here for a while now, and the Neapolitan pizza keeps me hooked. Crust is always thin, soft, with that proper char. Price is fair for what you get, especially these days. Not the biggest fan of the wait sometimes, but the pizza makes up for it. Still my go-to spot when I need that fix. 🍕

The veal cutlet with green peppercorn sauce was solid&mdash;cooked just right. Took over an hour to come out though. I passed the time with a decent glass of red, so no complaints. Just don&#39;t come starving.

Been coming here for a while now. Portions are still big and the price is fair for being right in the center. I usually leave full, which is what matters. Not the cheapest place in town, but you get what you pay for. That&#39;s why I keep coming back.

Been coming here for a while now, mostly for the portions. Still get a decent amount of food for what you pay, which is why I keep going back. The tea selection is alright too, not fancy but does the job. Place gets busy around lunch, but it&#39;s fine if you&#39;re not in a rush.

Stopped by for a quick coffee and a croissant. Staff were friendly, pastry was decent. Nothing fancy, but it did the job.

Stopped by for a business dinner. The seasonal menu had some creative spins on local dishes&mdash;the venison was solid. Wine list is decent, well-picked. Service was professional but dragged a bit during the rush. Not cheap, but fair for the quality. Good spot if you&#39;re in central Cluj and want something reliable.

Solid spot for Romanian food downtown. Soup was the highlight, ribs decent too. Place gets packed, we booked ahead which helped. Staff kept up with the rush, no complaints there. Would come back if I&#39;m in the area again.

Steak came out just right, and the grilled veggies were a solid pick. Waiter knew his wine, matched it well with the dish.

The terrace view is stunning, no doubt. Salad with rucola and real Parmesan slivers was fresh, decent veggie options too. Flat white came out well-made.

The ribs were properly fall-off-the-bone good, and that boeuf salad starter hit the spot. Service was fast, which I appreciated. Just wish it wasn&rsquo;t such a trek from the center 😅

Decent spot for brunch. Portions were reasonable and the staff friendly. Interior&#39;s nice too, nothing fancy but comfortable.

The burrata and mortadella bruschetta was the standout &mdash; wish I&#39;d skipped the dumplings. Pricey, but the wine list pairs well with that starter.

Decent pizza, the crust was properly Neapolitan &mdash; soft and chewy. We sat in the garden, which was nice. Prices felt fair for what you get. Only thing is the service was a bit slow, but it wasn&#39;t a big deal. Pretty good spot overall for a casual meal.

The pizza was decent for the price. Soup came out a bit oily though. Fine for a quick bite if you&#39;re in the area.

Nice spot with a retro 50s feel and a decent courtyard. Food&#39;s solid for the price. My omelette was average though. Good enough if you&#39;re in the area.

Came here with a couple of friends on a quieter evening and the staff actually had time to chat a bit. That made the whole vibe way more relaxed. Food was solid, nothing crazy, but the service on a busy day is a whole different story. We waited pretty long once. Still, I&rsquo;d come back for the chill moments. 😊

Tried the cotto e funghi pizza&mdash;proper thin crust, decent toppings. Service was quick, no complaints there. Bit pricey for what it is, but you&#39;re paying for the spot in the center. Fine if you&#39;re in the area.

The goulash was spot on, rich and smoky, just the way I hoped. Also tried the paprika chicken, super tender. They had a few local beers on tap, went well with the food. Nothing fancy about the place, but it felt genuine. I&#39;d come back for that goulash again.

The price keeps creeping up, but that torched sushi still makes the all-you-can-eat worth it every time.

The pizza here is pretty good &mdash; one of the better ones I&#39;ve had in Cluj. Crust was just right, toppings tasted fresh. Just wish the place wasn&#39;t so crowded when we went.

The lady at the counter was lovely, and that Brandy mousse was a nice surprise. Quiet little place.

Solid coffee and decent cakes. Place is tiny though, maybe 10 seats. Got lucky with a spot by the window. Barista was friendly enough. Fine for a quick stop if you&#39;re in the area. Not somewhere to sit for hours.
