👍👍 Great Cafe serving traditional northern Albanian food. It's worth finding, don't be put off by the industrial street on the approach. Large serves, tasty food and really good value and service. Puts the tourist strip cafes to shame. People often mention good,

    We decided not to go to popular restaurants, but to find something that is away from the main street and found this restaurant. The food here is delicious and the people are very friendly. They don't speak English and don't have a menu, but that doesn't stop you from ordering and enjoying your meal. Prices are also lower than in popular cafes and restaurants. It's quiet and comfortable here. Now I will be coming back here regularly.

    Very nice and small restaurant but with very very good hospitality. It was everything perfect. Food, hospitality, service was on top. They offered us even fruits and sweets (Revani) in the end. Thank you so much Gjovalin and Kristina

    The map is slightly off. It is actually about 10m south of Erblin Bar, ground floor of the apartment complex. Good thing that I decided to check around, worth the find. The grill meat was really good, should have ordered more.

    We arrived in this restaurant because it was close to our accommodation. What a surprise when we realized we just found the best place to eat in Tirana. Albanian food served here is astonishing, people working here are really nice and warm welcoming. On top of that the prices are really attractive, the neighbourhood is calm, I highly recommend this place

    We found this place through google maps and we wanted to try albanian food. It was extremely good food. The people were very friendly, even though they could not speak english very well, with some hand gestures we could manage to communicate. Super friendly people, super good food for a very good price. 10/10 would recommend

    The couple is very friendly. The woman was passing by with a huge plate of freshly baked Börek (self made pie) when I asked for a piece they brought me 4 pieces and when I wasn’t able to finish it, she packed it for me to take away. We couldn’t communicate by spoken language but body language was analyzed very well. It’s a very cute place.

    I’ve eaten at all the top rated places in Tirana and this was the best. Not a word of English spoken, not sure what was on the mixed grill, but tasted fantastic, the pie was also great. Well worth the walk. Great hosts, great prices and lovely food.

👍👍 🌇 Artigiano is a very beautiful and atmospheric place. There is plenty of space inside and on the summer terrace. There are a lot of beautiful plants in the courtyard of the cafe. 🍕 Menu is varied, here you will find appetizers, salads, soups, and pastas, but we came specifically for pizza. Pizza...
