    The restaurant offers special service because of the engagement of the wait staff; the food is excellent and delicious; wine list has local wines which may be well paired with selected meals (we tried the local Kallmet grape and it is a good pairing with the lamb and potatoes dish); the restaurant has a modern and bright ambiance; the menu includes a wide and varied selection; I recommend asking for your waiter’s suggestions or ordering specials. Gluten free options can easily be accommodated but may need to be clarified / elaborated (not the same as dairy). Prices are reasonable. Highly recommend.

    A very good experience with reasonable prices and quality food. Excellent service. As for most places during summer, it's best to visit on weekdays.

    For my last night in Tirana I went with a local to this nice restaurant with a mix of local specialities and Mediterranean dishes. I had the lamb and my friend tried the salmon pasta, both dishes were tasty! I only had the impression the lamb was a bit dry, more than expected. I have also tried a local pie, unfortunately I can remember the name but it was filled with cheese (I'd recommend to try). Service was great and fast, staff friendly and caring! :)

    An excellent restaurant. I returned afre a few years and loved it again. Excellent service, attentive to customers and every detail. Food quality always great, based on traditional cuisine. A nice selection of traditional dishes with a modern touch. Excellent wines. Atmosphere great and very relaxing, not at all noisy.

    Perfect place to eat. The new renovation of the place add elegance to the perfect service. The food was fresh and the pizza 🍕 is one of the best in Tirana. The menu had plenty of choices for seafood like payella and pasta but we loved the traditional option. Highly recommended

  • 3/5 Roxie O. 4 years ago on Google
    We ordered some food from here a couple of days ago. Among them, linguine with seafood, risotto with seafood and fried sausage in a hot bowl. Well.. the linguine and the sausage were okay (even though we didn't expect the sausage the way it was). I mean, don't get me wrong, it was good. It just had like egg or a sauce. I don't know really know what we ate to be honest. The risotto was actually the worst. That was not risotto, just some long bob rice with some seafood thrown on top. My sister has ordered from them before and their food used to be delicious, so I don't know what really happened.

    The first time I had the seafood soup. Salads were great and huge portion. The 2nd time I also enjoyed Octopus carpacchio, Mediterranean pizza, and grilled mushrooms. Pannacotta is the best I have had. Beautiful ambiance, and attentive service.

    Well, what can I say? We have walked past this place at least 100 times and finally decided to try it. We were absolutely blown away! Everything in Juvenilja from the ambience, service, pricing, and food was simply superb. We will certainly be back for more.

    Mix of Italian and traditional Albanian cousine, the portions are generous and the food delicious. The place itself is also traditional bit from a previous era but the meals compensate for it. The piglet ribs with beans are delicious!

    Pizzas are great here as they have been in the past decades. A great place to have pizzas in town. Also check out the daily dishes recommended by the waiter. I got a combination of meat with porcini, medium, and it was tasty. Focaccias are good and a variety of salads to choose from the menu. Friendly atmosphere and great service. It has always been good at this restaurant in Tirana.

    Staff started ranting at me when I asked to pay by credit card. They had the machine and advertised that they took card, but didn't feel my 700 lek meal justified it, and were very vocal about this.

  • 5/5 Walter N. 3 years ago on Google
    The location of the restaurant is great - in the heart of Tirana, yet very peaceful, relaxing, and calm atmosphere far enough from the noisy streets. The food is great, especially the avocado salad, mixed fried seafood, mixed grill (which is perfect size for 3 people), and desserts.The staff speak very good English and are friendly. We'll definitely go there more often, be it for coffee, lunch, or dinner.

    My must-go restaurant every time I am in Tirana. Very good service and nice food in downtown Tirana. Menu italian oriented with albanian contaminations. Prices on the average.

  • 1/5 Marco Bersano B. 1 year ago on Google
    Risotto was terrible, pure salt, not edible. We both left it just after few bites. This could not be the problem, no worries, could be an accident in the kitchen, can happen, we understand. I would NEVER, really NEVER write a negative review just for that. But the final depressing scene, with the waiter yelling for a tip, with disrespectful and inappropriate tone in the middle of a crowded restaurant, and when our food was clearly untouched.. there he really crossed the line... He finally insulted me. Unbelievable! So our opinion is: 1) bad food but that's definitely not the point, 2) unprofessional and irritating behaviour (that's the point.. really unforgivable). This is the first time we get disappointed after one month of Albanian delicious cuisine and always super friendly and accurate service everywhere.

  • 5/5 Adrianna T. 1 year ago on Google
    After struggling to find traditional Albanian food in Blloku, a waiter at a different restaurant suggested Juvenilja and it did not disappoint. One of us is vegan and the waiter was extremely accommodating and made sure that we both were taken care of. We had delicious fresh vegetables, local wine and Albanian traditional food - the focaccia was to die for. Highly recommend it!

    Absolutely stunning restaurant! I ate there twice during my visit to Tirana. Service outstanding, the seafood was extraordinary!

  • 3/5 James Stephen M. 9 months ago on Google
    Difficult to identify as the name is not clearly on the location (it is next to the sushi restaurant which is clearly signed). We were approached outside the establishment by a waiter which I don't always appreciate. It was maybe because the place was mostly empty. The interior is classy. The starter of bruschetta was missing the main ingredient but instead of telling me they just delivered it without an apology or alternative (imagine day a lawn cocktail without the prawns). I ordered a lamb selection which I found a bit dry and the sauce that came with it not great. Also side dish of potatoes not tasty. Overall disappointing attentive but incorrect service. House wine disappointing.

  • 5/5 Manu M. 8 months ago on Google
    Just very good, nice interior, perfect service in English too, reasonable prices. Really good quality of the meat dishes, fish and seafood looks amazing too. Pizza and good choice for kids as well. Many veggie options available.

The only flaw in my opinion is the staff (they are too much above you and want you to order more things, an attitude that I don't like) (Original) tutto buono e a buon prezzo. Zuppa di pesce super. Unica pecca secondo me il personale (ti stanno troppo sopra e vogliono farti ordinare più cose, atteggiamento che a me non piace)

But instead of tortellini we were brought some ravioli with pana that were hardly able to give in the form of tortellini. The beer was cold colored water ... They shook my hand ....

    This is a restaurant mostly visited by locals. It's amazing. The restaurant is very old. More authentic, which is in contrast with the area Bloku. The waiters are very professional and the food is brilliantly cooked. They are very enthusiastic about their fish and rightly so. We came here twice. Once had the seafood risotto. It waa very well cooked. The salads are nicely fresh.

    (Translated by Google) Excellent restaurant in Tirana. You can enjoy very well cooked and presented fish dishes. The restaurant satisfies even the most refined palates. The service is very good and attentive and deserves all your tip (which in all of Albania is almost a must). As on all the roads around the restaurant it is a bit difficult to park, so you should take a nice walk along the avenues that are always crowded with clubs and people and always lively. (Original) Ottimo ristorante a Tirana. Potrete gustare piatti a base di pesce molto ben cotti e presentati. Il ristorante soddisfa i palati anche più raffinati. Il servizio è molto buono e attento e merita tutta la vostra mancia (che in tutta l'Albania è quasi d'obbligo). Come un po' su tutte le strade nei dintorni al ristorante è un po' difficile parcheggiare, perciò vi conviene fare una bella passeggiata per i viali sempre affollati di locali e gente e sempre vivaci.

    Great service from a proper old school waiter - attentive and charismatic. He knew what he was doing. Food a little old school as well. We expected more regional and local choices.

    (Translated by Google) Number 10 5 stars. The pizzas and cakes are incredible. The quality is indisputable. Especially our seafood pie (pasta) is our recommendation. The fish varieties are also very successful, but the fish soup is extra extra nice, visually as well as flavor. They also have a wooden castle concept on the lake. It is also recommended. It is one of the best places to eat in Tirana .. Shume mire 😀 (Original) 10 numara 5 yıldız. Pizza ve pastaları inanilmaz. Kalitesi tartışılmaz. Özellikle deniz mahsullü pasta(makarna) önerimizdir. Balık çeşitleri de cok başarılı ancak balık çorbası ekstra ekstra güzel, görsel olarak da lezzet olarak da. Ayrıca göl kenarında ahşap şato konseptinde bir mekanları daha var. O da ayrıca tavsiye edilir. Tiran'da yemek yiyebileceğiniz en iyi mekanların başında geliyor.. Shume mire 😀
