Thank you very much, dear Romanian Friends, for giving support and free food for Ukrainian refugees, moved temporarily from the war in Ukraine. Thank you, dear!

I only had the Strawberry Banana shake and gelato. High price for a "decent" culinary experience. For Romanian standard, the price well exceeds what was delivered. Quick service and very nice staff, Emilia was very kind and respectful, which makes this worth 4 stars instead of 3. The atmosphere was kind of loud and busy as there is no separation from the rest of the mall. The following was not the café's fault, however I was approached by a man asking for money in the midst of sitting here.

This place has best burgers in town, hands down. Funny enough, they advertise themselves as an italian style restaurant with focus on home made pasta, soups, etc. Which are all good, but not sensational. The burgers however are a stand out and without peer in the city. Highly recommended!
