Reviews
What a gorgeous restaurant and lovely staff. Christina was the friendliest staff we encountered throughout our whole trip. She was so accommodating and so sweet. The view was also amazing. I would definitely recommend going to this restaurant.
The service is exceptional — very friendly, cheerful, welcoming, and accommodating. The food and the drinks are great, and the atmosphere around sunset time is amazing. You also get the full view of Gorica from the restaurant. 100% recommended when in Berat.
Fantastic Albanian food! The young waiter speaks English extremely well, as well as Italiano, Shqip and a bit of Español. He's a lot of fun. I ordered the stuffed eggplant which was exceptional, the cornbread pie which was wonderful and a green salad (so lovely to have a salad of lettuce - one tires of tomato and cucumber after a while!). The house red was very good (from a vineyard 30km from here). They ask for a review, but I am happy to give one anyway. This place is genuinely great and I recommend it!
We ducked into this restaurant to get out of the cold and for a bottle of wine. The wine we chose was from a local winery Cobo and was very good. They gave us some cheese, olives and crackers. We had great conversation with the owner and another table. Fun evening.
