    Everything about this place is special, food is some of the nicest I've eaten, the setting is lovely, service is excellent and a perfect place for a relaxing evening. They call themselves The Home and I think that's quite fitting, you can tell they care about what they do. Highly recommend it!

    It didn't look open from the front, but persevere through the front door and into the courtyard. Beautiful setting for a cafe/restaurant, part casual, part refined. The menu was hard to decipher, but the manager came and explained the dishes. We had 2 delicious salads (one was called 'ironman' so we'd never have guessed from the menu alone). Food was great, price reasonable. 1,800 lek for 2 people (the bread basket was free).

    Wow! This was hands down the best salmon avocado bun I’ve ever had! The atmosphere was great, super relaxing, and right next to the market! A great place for Sunday brunch!

    Wonderful, modern upscale restaurant near market. Very tasty food with good selections. Both beef, pork & seafood. Wine prices a little high. But we highly recommend.

    Cozy place, very nice owner. We took the tasting menu so tried a lot of different things! Firstly I want to say, that usually the portions in the tasting menu are much smaller. In this case it looked like every course was a full size meal! So prepare you stomachs and come hungry if you want to take it) Meals are generally very tasty. I can’t say that it’s anything extra special, but we enjoyed it :) One meal however was just excellent and highly recommended!! Lamb, which can be seen on picture 7. Deserts were waaay too sweet for our taste.

    A place reserved for special occasions. Don't go there to eat dinner or drink to get your fill as prices are high and portions are small. This place is best for special occasions, dates and such as food and service are slow and you have time to chat and get to know others. The food was very delicious and cooked in unique ways.

    I ordered Iron Man Salad as I was just thinking I needed some spinach in my life. It was delicious. But my husband got the paella and this was so good I ordered that as well and got him to eat the other half of my salad. Great food, lovely restaurant, good service.

    Brisket was cooked great; though seasoning could have been a tad better. Overall, great experience for lunch in a nice atmosphere near busy square.

    The Home 2.0 brings a modern flair to traditional dishes. This hidden gem located in the heart of the Pazari i Ri, contains a carefully curated space, from fireplace stove to red brick walls to the white napkins, everything to guarantee an impeccable eat out. The whole dining experience is aesthetic and every dish is a true work of art: worldly but unpretentious. We recommend The degustation menus: “Discover Albania with me” for its innovative recreations of national traditional Albanian recipes or “Around the world in 8 dishes” for a culinary trip for your senses.

    Third time to visit here in 6 months as my travels have brought me back to Tirana. Decided to try the octopus with Pave or as the call them Fil potatoes. The octopus was tender the potatoes spot on other then needing a little salt in my opinion. We also had the paella. It had fish and shrimp with mussels. Half the mussels did not open but the flavor was good not what you find in Spain but still flavorful. We ordered a bottle of white Portuguese however the wine prices are a bit high in my opinion. So for today all white wines that were available where 3000 lek. Our wine cost more then our meal! Would I come again for the food. Yes absolutely. For the wine no! Stick to beer or water.

    In the middle of Tirana, the perfect place to eat the most delicious food, cooked with passion and love, by chef Francesco. You can find there “The Home” - sweet Home.

    The Home 2 offers a mixed dining experience. The staff deserves praise for their welcoming nature, yet they seem to lack comprehensive knowledge about the menu, which hinders their ability to offer tailored suggestions. The ambiance in the restaurant is generally pleasant, but the second dining room could benefit from some additional touches to avoid a sense of emptiness. In terms of food, the salad with pears is a highlight, showcasing a well-prepared and flavorful option. However, the starter, which consists of bread with butter and jam, might be improved by including cheese for those who prefer a savory beginning. Unfortunately, the main courses, particularly the meat dishes, were disappointing. Despite trying two different options from the menu, neither met our expectations in terms of flavor or quality. This aspect of the meal was notably underwhelming. The wine selection, specifically the red wine, was acceptable but not exceptional, especially considering its price point at 400 leke per glass. In conclusion, while The Home 2 has some positive aspects, particularly in service and certain menu items, there are significant areas for improvement, especially in the culinary offerings and atmosphere of the dining area.

    The atmosphere is very nice, the owner has done a a good job at getting a cozy chic kind of vibe, though I have to say my table was a bit on the wobbly side. The staff was friendly and attentive.The IPA beer was very good. We went for lunch and I would say that the prices are foreigner prices set with tourists in mind. A bit on the expensive side. However, the food offerings are also sophisticated, so the price may be worth it. The spinach salad was great. I also tried the Paella which was with quail instead of seafood since they didn't have quality seafood at the time. Although flavorful, I learned that quail was not my favorite. P.s. We returned for brunch. It was a very Sunday option for breakfast!

    Great food, nice and professional service. The red wine was from the south of Albany and I do recommend it. I liked watching the people inside the place and outside in the busy market quarter. Come and enjoy this lovely part of Albany. Thanks Markus

    (Translated by Google) Unfortunately, the institution was closed when we arrived 😔 The owner should indicate the actual working days (Original) К сожалению заведение было закрыто, когда мы пришли 😔 Владельцу стоит указывать актуальные дни работы
