Uran
Great food, great service…..a little bit out of the way. Well worth the detour
Alkeda
Delicious traditional foods, kudos to the Chef! A great variety of flavors served in a very professional way! Very caring and attentive staff! The setting is romantic for couples and spacious and warm for a family event as ours! We celebrated my father’s 80th birthday and were very pleased with the whole family celebration experience!
Radmila
We really enjoyed this place for Saturday family lunch and my husbands Birthday celebration. It's a bit away from Tirana, which is nice for us as its not too crowded here like most places on the weekend. The staff was very attentive and dedicated, and traditional food with a twist did not disappoint. And you will find there an amazing wine collection! Highly recommend it!
Linda
We discovered on google map this place and we were not wrong going there for lunch.the food and service was excellent . Jordi first show us the winery , wine equipment which were located in the basement and the wine bottles which they were displayed beautifully. We ordered the food and it was on time and Jordi was very knowledgeable about the wine and the food preparation. The cantina was located in the hill and the landscape was amazing! .

A rare find in the area. A modern place with own production of merlot wine. Place opened from around 2020 onwards and employs chef from Italy. Menu is very Tuscany style and dishes are perfect! Very few/no Albanian spirit to the place, but respect that. Selection of starters, pasta and main dishes is perfect. One of the best tagliata ever! Can’t miss with this place!
