    (Translated by Google) One serving of papanas lasted for an hour. I guess it took longer for the threshing of the wheat and the milking of the cow. sour cream. Otherwise, the place is great, the fleas are not only from local cats, but also on TV. recommend (Original) O porție de papanași a durat o oră jumatate. Socotesc că a durat mai mult treieratul grâului și mulsul vacii pt. smântână. În rest, localul e super, purecii nu sunt doar de la pisicii din local, ci și la televizor. Recomand

    (Translated by Google) A few years ago we used to go to this little restaurant quite often, you chose it to be very close to our house. Good food, impeccable service, prices a little big, but offset by the size of the portions and the pleasant atmosphere. The last two experiences were all the more unpleasant as we had and guests from afar who probably left their country with a very bad impression about Craiova and Romania. It took exactly one hour and 19 minutes to bring us the cimnell, it was exactly when we decided to go somewhere else. The waiter's response to our vicissitudes was puzzling: what do you want, you came 10 people and you wanted everything else! I think you no longer need a comment! I have given 3 points in the memory of the past (Original) În urma cu câțiva ani obișnuiam sa mergem destul de des la acest mic restaurant, msi ales ca este și foarte aproape de casa noastră. Mâncare bună, servire ireproșabilă, preturi piate puțin cam mari, dar compensate de mărimea porțiilor și de atmosfera plăcută. Ultimele doua experiente au fost cu atât mai neplăcute cu cât am avut și oaspeți de departe, care probabil ca au plecat în tara lor cu o impresie foarte proasta despre Craiova și despre România. A durat exact o ora și 19 minute pana sa ne aducă cimnana, afica exact când ne hotărâsem sa ne ducem în alta parte. Răspunsul ospatarului la viciferarile noastre a fost naucitor: ce vreți, ați venit 10 persoane și ați vrut fiecare altceva! Cred ca nu mai trebuie niciun comentariu! Am dat totuși 3 puncte în amintirea vremurilor trecute

    They used to have a great kitchen a couple years ago, but lately their standard has been slipping. Staff isn't that reactive and the food comes imo late (even if it is not that busy). Pity.

  • 5/5 Stan M. 1 year ago on Google
    Good service, very nice staff. The food took quite a bit of time, however it was very freshly made and well worth the wait! Even the pickle inside the (fried and crispy!) chicken rolls I had was still fresh and crispy. And that all for a very reasonable price!

  • 5/5 Alex B. 1 year ago on Google
    I was in the city for short stay and decided to eat dinner at Sofia Bistro, was the best decizion. The food was delicious and the prices just right. If you are searching for a place to eat and read this review, i totally recommend this place. Make sure you Call them before, to reserve a table. P.S. This is not just my opinion, i have been with another 4 friends(very fussy) and they all love the food at Sofia Bistro.

    My last vista to Craiova was in 2014. We decided to go out to a restaurant, and my wife's relatives took us to this beautiful restaurant. The weather was great and the restaurant was very good. I ordered a stake and I was instantly extremely please, I could wait until my next visit to Craiova. My recent visit wasn't so good. I ordered a lasagna which is one of my favourite foods, and on my first taste, it was awful, far too much salt in it and I didn't want to ask for another meal as, we were there for over 2 hours before we got our food, no fault of the restaurant. I was surprised that after receiving our food, no one came a bit later to ask how was our food, as this is customery in the UK. A disappointing experience from my last one.

    (Translated by Google) I ordered 2 servings of papanas, one was ok, but the other portion smelled of rotten egg and baking soda or baking powder. I told them about it and when we paid, the plate that we didn't eat and sent back to the kitchen was passed on to us. I even paid for the portion of spoiled papanas I do not recommend!!! (Original) Am comandat 2 porții de papanași, una a fost ok, dar cealaltă porție mirosea a ou stricat si bicarbonat de sodiu sau praf de copt. Le-am spus despre asta iar cand am plătit ne-a trecut pe bon si farfuria pe care nu am mâncat-o si pe care am trimis-o înapoi la bucătărie Am plătit inclusiv porția de papanași stricați Nu recomand!!!

    Our best restaurant experience in Craiova, not Iberico that waitress said that if you want to eat something, you have to wait more than hour , next place we walk to was Bulevard, we came incide and waitress look at us like why you come, we waiting 15 minutes, and start looking a different place to eat seafood. We choose Sofia bistro , and it was the best choice for restaurant in our vacation in Craiova. Start from the homely, polite and speak English stuff, the place have no smoking zone even outside, we ordered seafood mix for the couple and it was perfect, delicious plate ! The prices very good independed of the others restaurants in Craiova. Big like for this place and hightly recommended.

  • 5/5 Cristina Eliza V. 5 years ago on Google
    It is very pleasant place and the food was great, the staff was friendly and helpful, if you have a car is a problem because the restaurant doesn't have a parking area, and you have to find a parking place in the street. The prices are ok , the waiters are very friendly . It is a romantic place if you want to take a romantic dinner.

  • 2/5 Ariel Y. 5 years ago on Google
    Ugh. So bad. Avoid - cross the street to Craft and have a good lunch, instead. I'l just say they have a 20-page menu, and you know that means trouble. Huge selection of unrelated foods, and the quality suffers for it. The weird mushroom-in-powdered-soup on overly-salted mamaliga was atrocious. So unappealing, the cook should be forced to eat it and cry. Beetroot salad was pretty basic. Although the pork chops were cooked fine, the strange sweet tomato sauce (which I suspect was just their pizza base) was just wrong. Also, no seating inside when we visited, meant smoking all around us as we ate. Very large honey lemonade, though, which gets them an extra star.

    (Translated by Google) The first and last experience in Sofia was not a pleasant one. The service was ok (although we were alone in the whole restaurant), but the food left much to be desired. In addition, I received the papaya made in snitel oil, they smelled awful and tasted horrible. In the end they did not reach the payment note, but it was terrible what happened. (Original) Prima si ultima experienta la Sofia nu a fost una prea placuta. Servirea a fost ok (desi eram singuri in tot restaurantul), insa mancarea a lasat mult de dorit. In plus, am primit papanasii facuti in uleiul de la snitel, miroseau ingrozitor si aveau un gust oribil. In final nu au ajuns pe nota de plata, dar a fost teribil ce s-a intamplat.

    (Translated by Google) Bistro ... "originally of Parisian name, a small restaurant where simple meals are served at moderate prices, in a modest space. Typical are the French cuisine preparations ...". This is the definition of a Wikipedia bistro.Sofia Bistro fits good in the bistro category, it remains to your appreciation if the prices here are modest (see the pictures with prices), but I can say that the bistro is small, beautifully arranged, clean and functional bathroom, remains to be added to the menu and the Parisian dishes. I ate a tasty pizza with fast tuna (approx. 15 min), with a super good countertop, and with many fresh ingredients in the composition. Good for the kitchen .. maybe Tavern Sofia, pizza is good. (Original) Bistro..."la origine denumire pariziană, un mic restaurant în care sunt servite mese simple la prețuri moderate,într-un spațiu modest.Tipice sunt preparatele bucătăriei franceze...".Aceasta este definiția unui bistro Wikipedia.Sofia Bistro se încadrează bine în categoria bistro,rămâne la aprecierea voastră dacă prețurile de aici sunt modeste(vezi pozele cu preturi),dar pot să afirm că bistroul este mic,frumos aranjat,baie curată și funcțională,rămâne de adăugat în menu și preparatele pariziene. Am mâncat o gustoasă pizza cu ton adusă repede(cca.15 min),cu un blat super bun, și cu multe ingrediente proaspete în compoziție.Bravo pentru bucătărie.. poate Taverna Sofia,pizza este bună.
