The ambience was nice but the food was ok. Took mom for Mother’s Day she wanted lamb chops. The lamb chops were bland as well as mash potatoes which tasted like they were from the box. The lobster stuffed ravioli was ok nothing over the top. The grilled octopus on top of grilled veggies was pretty good. No need for me to go back.

The service was 100+ stars and the food was absolutely delicious!! A band played live music, which made the night so much more special! We were celebrating a birthday and they sang Happy Birthday and brought out ice cream. It was such a sweet detail! Even though the place was packed, the girl was so attentive with the details and the order, and never rushed us with the order or the bill. Another plus was the option for 2 menus- Romanian (my favorite) and Italian..so you are guaranteed to ALWAYS find something for every picky eater in your group! Will definitely return!!! Thank you for a special night! Camelia

I can’t say enough good things about this family run restaurant. The food, the service, the ambiance all GREAT!! The Italian food is excellent but you are really missing out if you do not request the Romanian menu and try the food from there. The food taste as if your grandmother made it homemade. Excellent place and if you are not trying, you are missing out on a winner!!!

First time guest at this Hollywood Blvd. restaurant. Not a favorite of this area for dining ,but looking for new dining spots. Outdoor and indoor dining available. Not a very Italian inspired menu with the exception of Red Snapper Livernase. which we ordered. Just average at best and served with bitter spinach ? Greek salad to start was overrun with onions .Prices moderate .Romanian menu offered as well and might be their specialty. Probably not returning for another try.

The best part about our experience was making friends with the other tables. It seemed that we all were not having the best time so this brought us together. The restaurant seemed very unorganized. Maybe it’s related to the labor shortage. The food was great. What topped off our evening was getting an email from OpenTable saying we were a no show for our reservation. Also, I would suggest policing the patio tables on the sidewalk against people stopping to sit and have a smoke.

What a wonderful restaurant and had Excellent entertainment on Saturday night. Great local place for a date or entertaining clients. Ambiance is great, food, service, etc all amazing. They have both Italian and Romanian menu and this time I ventured into the Romanian food and it was as delicious as the Italian. Both menus are delicious and I highly recommend trying Romanian, my friends and I loved and this will be a regular spot for me when I’m in area. It’s a 10!!!

One of the best if not the best Hollywood’s restaurant in my opinion. The food is absolutely delicious and the options are many. There are two menus available, one Italian, and one Romanian. There is something for everybody. You will not leave neither hungry nor dissatisfied . Sarmalele sunt exact ca la mama acasa😊, and Papanasi is my favourite desert. Both, Lara and Ty are very gracious and accommodating hosts. The wait staff is extremely attentive, pleasant and professional . The bar tender will absolutely wow you with his mixing skills. The act of preparing your drink is nothing short of magic. The live music on the weekends is very entertaining ( you can invite your lady for a dance if you like) and Tuesdays are a popular Karaoke day. I absolutely recommend this place!

We had requested a quiet table for Valentine's Day. We were seated in a patio booth and it was excellent, once they turned down the volume on the lounge singer. Food was terrific, service good and the prices were reasonable.

What a wonderful restaurant! We had been here a couple of times before and the food is always excellent. I had the veal parm and my wife had the lasagna. Both had huge portions that we had enough for lunch the next day. Our dinner guests chose from the Romanian menu and said it was delicious. They were already talking about coming back. The service is attentive, always refilling the water glasses. For dessert, we asked for recommendations and got a type of Romanian donut with two types of dips. What a great way to end the meal. We highly recommend this restautant and can't wait to return!
