    The atmosphere is similar to an Italian restaurant .🇮🇹 The pizza 🍕 was tasty but not fantastic. You could feel that the ingredients are local. Service was fine but could be improved. There was a single waiter for 6 tables.

    Even though that had a slow start -- ten minutes I exchanged eyes with the waiters without any success of getting a menu -- Ramona did an excellent service and the food was everything you would expect from Il Calcio chain of restaurants, which is always good. They still got some training to do, Mr. Manager, where are you?

    Very good dishes, I had the tomahawk steak. It was quite expensive but, what can i say... it was a special dinner at a special location. You don’t eat this kind of food every day. Good wine selection also! Keep up the good work!

    The usual you'd expect from a Il Calcio trattoria: excellent service, food, atmosphere. Definitely worth visiting for a nice, cosy, tasty dinner.

    I would have rated 5 stars for food and service. But as many times in this part of Romania, the dishonesty of people disappointed me. When I received the bill I asked the waiter if the tip had been included. The answer was "no" and so, I gave him 40 lei tip. Home, checking the bill I was amazed to see that 40 lei tip was the last item on the bill. I was cheted of 40 lei! Be careful before paying the tip and check the bill! As of me, I will never enter any Il Calcio in this country!

    The food is exquisite and extremely tasty. The portions are rather big and the menu is very diverse. Helpful staff and amazing atmosphere. Overall a great experience, both gastronomically-wise and visually-wise, thanks to the beautiful interior.

    Very nice and calm place with Italian food. It wasn't busy maybe because it was monday. The food was well cooked but my risotto was a too salty for my taste. As a minus I give the difficult communication because the waiter knew english quite poorly.

    Nice place ! Great food ! Great experience! Pizza 🍕 was excellent and the portions were huge ! The only thing to improve it will be some ketchup to be available

  • 1/5 Angi F. 1 year ago on Google
    Beautiful place with tasty food. Unfortunately there could be more food on the plate. We ordered 500 Gramm of sea food and got way less. I would understand that for a lower price but for 70 lei there could be more. You would need 3 plates like that one to get full. I also ordered some ribs and got something else. The excuse was that that they didn’t have ribs anymore. So they decided for me what to eat. They also didn’t have any burgers or stakes at the moment.

  • 2/5 Serban 4 months ago on Google
    The food is amazing. One of the best pizza and pasta we've eaten. What was not so good was the service. The waiter (Alin), had an arrogant attitude from the start, not friendly at all! To top all up, he ADDED THE TIP on the bill without asking or even telling us. When confronted, he said that the tip is NOT optional 😄 we took it up with the manager, but I didn't receive my money back (paid by card before seeing the added tip). So tourists, beware of this. Pay attention to the bill and read the items listed before paying.

  • 4/5 Alexandra C. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) I gave note 4 (more than I should) for food. All the respect for the cook, the food was extraordinary, but the service was below expectations. I stayed with the empty plates in front for a long time, this in the conditions in which the waiter saw this, but prefer to talk to another waiter (I mention that it was not crowded), finally came and discarded, when I asked for a menu because we wanted to order dessert, but he refused to bring us one, because he does not have all the desserts on the menu, I insisted on bringing us the menu again, but the answer it was the same and started to tell us what desserts were available ... This is the first time a waiter refuses to bring me a menu. These are the reasons why I gave the score 4 out of 5. Again, the food was WOW! (Original) Am dat nota 4( mai mult decat ar fi trebui), pentru mancare. Tot respectul pentru bucatar, mâncarea a fost extraordinara, insa servirea a fost sub asteptari. Am stat cu farfuriile goale in fata mult timp, asta in conditiile in care ospatarul a vazut acest lucru, insa a prefera sa mai stea de vorba cu un alt ospatar (mentionez ca nu era deloc aglomerat), intr-un final a venit si a debarasat, moment in care i-am solicitat un meniu deoarece voiam sa comandam si desert, insa acesta a refuzat sa ne aduca unul, pe motiv ca nu are toate deserturile din meniu, am insistat totusi sa ne aduca inca o data meniul, dar raspunsul a fost acelasi si a inceput sa ne insire ce deserturi au disponibile... Este prima data cand un ospatar refuza sa imi aduca un meniu. Cam astea sunt motivele pentru care am acordat nota 4 din 5. Repet, mâncarea a fost WOW!
