    Wow! Just wow! Its one of the best restaurants in Romania!! Everything what we ordered were delicious and looked amazing. We were 4 adults and a kid and we visited this place twice in two days for dinner and then lunch. I highly recommend the restaurant. Also the staff is very friendly and helpful, atmosphere and interior - stylish and well designed.

    Pretty solid restaurant option, especially since it's so close to hotels and the citadel. I had the homemade cheeseburger and the pork tenderloin, both of which weren't mind blowing, but definitely a good option. Members of my party also had pizza and salads, all of which were excellent and delicious. Overall, I would recommend this place to eat, but due to issues like my pork tenderloin absolutely relying on the gravy to taste good due to its dryness and the overall not so unique nature of the meals, I can only give this place 4 stars. Would recommend visiting, however for a really awesome meal some other restaurants in the area may be a better pick.

    What a nice surprise! A great dining experience right around the corner from my hotel. Very large selection of meals including pizza, pub fare, home cooking and a few elegant delights. Great preparation and attentive staff. Good service and definitely good value for great food. I didn’t even bother looking for another restaurant on this trip. It was so good, I went the second night with a colleague. Good sized portions too!!

    One of the better restaurants in Alba Iulia, conveniently situated in a central location next to the citadel. The atmosphere is really great and the restaurant itself is very clean and luxurious. The seating is comfortable and they also have a terrace that's open throughout most months of the year. As this is somewhat of a diner, you'll also have the chance to watch live sports if there's anything on at the moment. The service was absolutely perfect, with our waiter being very friendly and also knowledgeable about the dishes and the drinks that we can pair together with our food. The food was delicious, every dish that we served was tasty, the portions were large enough and the waiting time wasn't too long.

    Sensational food. Perfectly seasoned and cooked, harmonious flavours, you name it. Had the tomato soup and the sea bream w mashed peas. My friend had the chicken breast with mushroom sauce and mashed pumpkin, also loved it. Music could be better, but that is only a minor issue, with the food being so satisfying. Keep up the good work!

    Great place to eat! The menu is big and full of amazing dishes. The food was extremely delicious and looked fantastic. We had the tomato soup, the bruschetta and pasta quatro formaggi. Everything was delicious. Service was very nice, too. I can only recommend.

    only had pizzas- they were ok...the kids margherita a bit uncooked and crispy with fries - the fries were fresh not the frozen kind but quite greasy; very kind employees and good customer service

    The food was really good and also the service. Considering the standards the restaurants wants to have, I would change the music. Loud club music from radio does not fit this place in my oppinion

    Quite good food and drinks. Disappointing antipasti (for the price). However, waitress brought another pizza which we didn’t order. I explained that we ordered one pizza, not two. She apologized and took the pizza, but another waitress came back angry holding that pizza and said that we ordered the pizza. All of us said politely that we didn’t and she kept arguing and telling us that we are wrong. Eventually she just left without a word with that pizza. Very bizarre situation, first time I ever saw customer service approach like this.

    Long waiting time, pizza Dante had a lot of oil, didn't like it. We ordered chicken breast and you could feel in the taste of the meat that the chicken meat was cheap. The regular clients were served much much faster.

    Tasty food, impeccable service and pleasant ambient music that accompanies you in the dining experience. Having a special guest, we feasted on: Creamy Baked Tomato Soup with Basil, Duck Breast with Bitter Cherry Sauce and Baked Lamb Casserole. Everything was excellent! Congratulations! I recommend with all confidence!

    I recently had the pleasure of dining at Dante, and I must say, it was an unforgettable experience. From the moment I stepped foot into the restaurant, I was captivated by its elegant ambiance and welcoming atmosphere. Dante truly embodies the essence of fine dining, and their tartar dish left me in awe. The moment I laid my eyes on the tartar, I knew I was in for a treat. The presentation was impeccable, with a colorful array of fresh ingredients beautifully arranged on the plate. The taste was even more extraordinary. Each bite was bursting with flavor, and the textures were perfectly balanced. The chef's attention to detail was evident in every aspect of the dish, from the freshness of the ingredients to the harmonious blend of spices. It was an absolute delight for the senses. However, what truly sets Dante apart is its exceptional staff. From the moment I entered the restaurant, I was greeted by friendly and attentive servers who went above and beyond to ensure a memorable dining experience. Their knowledge of the menu was impressive, and they were more than happy to provide recommendations and answer any questions I had. The level of professionalism and warmth they displayed throughout the evening was truly remarkable. The waitstaff at Dante demonstrated genuine passion for their craft, and it was evident in the way they interacted with guests. Their attention to detail was second to none, as they constantly checked in to ensure everything was to my liking. Moreover, their timing was impeccable, ensuring that each course was served at the perfect moment. The ambiance of the restaurant itself was also worth mentioning. The interior exuded elegance and sophistication, creating a perfect setting for a memorable dining experience. The attention to detail in the design, coupled with soft lighting and comfortable seating, added to the overall charm and made me feel like a valued guest. In addition to the exceptional tartar dish and impeccable service, Dante also boasts an impressive selection of wines and cocktails to complement the meal. The sommelier's expertise in pairing wines with the menu further elevated the dining experience and showcased the restaurant's commitment to excellence. I would highly recommend Dante to anyone seeking a culinary adventure. Whether you're a fan of tartar or simply appreciate exceptional service, this restaurant is a must-visit. The combination of exquisite flavors, attentive staff, and elegant ambiance creates a truly unforgettable dining experience. Dante has undoubtedly secured a spot on my list of favorite restaurants, and I cannot wait to return for another extraordinary meal.

    Very nice place with a lot of tables outside. Our waitress was very nice and funny (and patient when my partner hit the beer and it fell on the table 🫣). We were 3 people and each one of us ordered something else to taste different things and OMG, everything was delicious (2 meat dishes and carbonara)! The the desserts. You have to try upside down cheesecake - it ia sooo good. Really feels like heaven. When you're in Alba Iulia you have to stop here for food! P.S. I also ordered Apperol spritz, but as I like sour, the waitress proposed their sour version. So, people, follow their recommendations becuase my drink was amazing 🤩

  • 5/5 Tibi N. 1 year ago on Google
    A very good restaurant located near the citadel walls . The food was good and the staff is very friendly, and the location , from the outside terrace you can see the citadel, is what recommends this place. They also serve child menus ( small portions of pasta, pizza,mini burger ) and this is a big advantage if you travel with a toddler . Is a great place to stop and grab a bite.

  • 4/5 Carina S. 1 year ago on Google
    Pros: - the staff was really nice; - located in the center of the city, near the Citadel Alba-Carolina; - cozy and clean interior; - decent food; Cons: - the terrace is ordinary, nothing compared to the interior; - more attention to details as I received a broken plate and a dirty glass; - mixed commercial music;

  • 5/5 Katie H. 1 year ago on Google
    This restaurant is like heaven. Amazing food, professional servis with big heart for my 2 little kids, beautiful place next to Citadela and for me very important, they speak english and have menu in english language (we have very bad experience with other restaurant - czech in). The food on plate looks like an art. Recommandation with each finger, 10 points from 10 points. We have there lunch and dinner. And prices are very good. Nothing expensive.

  • 5/5 ALINA N. 1 year ago on Google
    We were blown away by the quality and the tasteful dishes we ordered. The goats cheese salad, risotto and pasta all very good! Staff was very friendly as well.

  • 5/5 Lyuben T. 1 year ago on Google
    Absolutely lovely staff that made us feel very welcome. Food came really quickly and was divine, portions were humongous. Thank you for the excellent service, it was the perfect end to a day of sight seeing!

  • 5/5 Cristi 2 years ago on Google
    The restaurant is situated outside the citadel, at the western entrance. The menu is international one, with pizza being somehow cheaper than the rest of the food. There are enough dishes to choose from. The service is ok. The pork neck with fries and garlic mayo and the Caesar salad were both tasty, a bit above mid sized portions. The drinks are OK for standard ones and more expensive for mixes like lemonade. Waited a bit much for the bill, 10 minutes. Cool place in Alba Iulia.

  • 4/5 Lucas Z. 2 years ago on Google
    Good coffee and sweets. Finally a good place in Romania for a coffee. They just need to work a little bit harder on service 😏

  • 5/5 Adrian Z. 2 years ago on Google
    Best memories are made around those tables. Good food, nice and cozy atmosphere, good location, discret staff. No 1 in town.

  • 5/5 Tiberiu P. 2 years ago on Google
    Very good food and nice location. The place is very well arranged, with pleasant staff and good food! Unfortunately, there is no wine by the glass selection, except the house wine, which is quite bad.

  • 5/5 Dan S. 2 years ago on Google
    This was our first visit to the restaurant and we are very glad we went. The restaurant is in a prime location, right outside the walls of the Alba Carolina citadel (which must be visited after having eaten at Dante Cafe). The food was absolutely delicious and I had one of the best beefsteaks ever. I was in heaven while eating it, so good it was! I highly recommend it for a special culinary experience.
