I found the place randomly and honestly it was the best choice. They attended us very quickly and the food was delicious.We ordered octopus, shrimps with mushrooms, mussels and tagliatelle with seafood and we loved each dish. 100% recommended!
A beautiful and charming little restaurant tucked away in a side street of Tirana. The owner is very attentive and pays attention to every detail. The food was carefully selected, fresh, and I will definitely come back again during my stay! :) all the best from the women from Leipzig (Germany)
Best Fish restaurant in town!!!Food out of this world, service amazing & ambiente just perfect!I felt in love with this place, the waiters and the owner!Will be back very soon!
The food was so delicious that we came back the second day. Very fast and attentive service, English speaking staff. We can recommend the fish soup, mussels, prawn ravioli (the sauce is amazing!) and octopus. The pistachio cheesecake and panna cotta are delicious desserts to end an amazing meal.
Everything is beyond 5stars! Especially serviceFelt Albanian people were so kind in generalThank you so much!Just be careful you need to bring a cash for payment
What a discovery! The walk there made us wonder what was in store, but we were warmly welcomed on arrival, given excellent advice on wine and the menu, and served delicious fresh and very interesting fish dishes at an extremely reasonable price! We will return…
We loved every bit of our meal From the starter, to the main dish to the complimentary sorbet we got from the owner. Service and food were both great. If we come back to Tirana, definitely will visit again!
I stand corrected, this was the best restaurant I’ve experienced in Tirana. The exceptional and kind hospitality blew me away offering me wifi, checking in if I had everything etc. The seafood soup was the best I’ve had for a very long time and shrimp/mushroom casserole was so delicious with the olive oil bread. I’m blown away by the genuine kindness and sincerity of the staff. My staple go to. Cash only.
