ENGLISH BELOW, I will first share the review in my native language :) LITHUANIAN Restoraną radom visiškai atsitiktinai, bet nusprendėm pabandyt. Visiškai nesitikėjom, kad būsim atradę geriausią restoraną per visą atostogų laikotarpį. Taverna di Dracula savininkai yra šeimyna iš Rumunijos. Pats skaniausias maistas kokį ragavom per visas atostogas Italijoje. Pasirodo, Rumuniškas maistas pagamintas iš širdies, yra daug gardesnis nei tipiškas Itališkas maistas. Niekad nesitikėjom, kad Italijoje pats skaniausias maistas bus Ruminiškame restorane!! :D Buvo toks jausmas kad gamino mama, o ne tipiško restorano darbuotojai. Savininkas Mihai yra nepakartojamas gaspadorius su kuriuo gali draugiškai kalbėt valandų valandas jeigu tik nėra užsiėmęs kitais stalais. Jo žmona, kuri darbuojasi virtuvėje yra tikras auksas. Tikrai superiniai virtuvės įgūdžiai. Restoranas remia neturtingus, dažnai ruošia maista nemokamai tiems, kuriems jo trūksta. Daug minėtas Italų laikraščiuose ir populiaruose maisto tinklapiuose. Lankėmės Tivoli tik vieną dieną iš 10 d. kurias buvom Italijoje, bet šita patirtis tikrai buvo pati maloniausia ir tai dėka šiam restoranui. Jei nebūtų reikėję pasigaut autobuso, butūme praleidę čia visą dieną. Tarp Rumuniškos degtinės ir brendžio, taip pat ir Rumuniško alaus ragavimo, draugiškai bendravom su savininku Mihai. Jis jums duos daug patarimų kur lankytis, ką valgyti ir ką pamatyti Tivoli mieste (ir kituose miestuose/šalyse). Mano telefonas buvo numiręs po šimtų nuotraukų tą dieną, bet restorane galima lengvai pasikraut prie stalo. Pas juos restorano viduje yra net ola kurią galimą apžiūrėt! Jei kada nors lankysitės Italijoje, būtinai aplankykit Tivoli miestą bent 2-3 dienoms kad viską pamatytumėt, bet apart to PRIVALOT apsilankyt šiame restorane, NEPASIGAILĖSIT!!! :) ENGLISH We found this restaurant completely accidentally and decided to stop by for fun and adventure. What we did not expect is that it will be the best restaurant experience we had in Italy. Taverna di Dracula is a family-run Romanian restaurant with better food than anything else we had during our vacation, turns out that Romanian food made from heart blows typical Italian food out of the water. We did not expect that in Italy, best food will be found in a Romanian restaurant!! :D It felt like mother's cooking at home instead of some quick-serve-and-forget restaurant which is typical for Italy. Mihai, who runs the place is an incredible host that you can have a friendly conversation with for hours when he's not busy working the tables and his wife is an absolute gem when it comes to cooking skills. They are extremely charitable restaurant that give to the poor and have been described in numerous Italian magazines and websites. Their reputation is more than deserved and even for what it is now, in my opinion is still underrated. We visited Tivoli just once during our 10 day trip and honestly it was the best day we had just thanks to this restaurant. If we didn't have to leave for the bus, we would have stayed for hours more and even slept there to come back to this place. Having a chat between shots of Romanian palinka, brandy and trying Romanian beers was the best experience I could ask for. Mihai will be glad to give you tips for good places to go all over the world, foods to try and will share tips on staying in Tivoli. I even got to charge my phone at the table as it died from taking too many photos of this beautiful place. They even have a cave inside the restaurant that you can check out! If you ever go to Italy, make sure you visit Tivoli for at least 2-3 days (necessary to visit everything that is worth visiting) and PLEASE, go to this restaurant. You will NOT regret it!!

I'm sorry but the 4.8 stars on this place literally feel like a scam. Firstly upon entrance the first thing I felt was this horrible, make your stomach turn, disgusting smell, I don't know what it was but it made me want to throw up. Same reason we wanted to sit outside, but the waiter kept convincing us to stay inside cause "it was going to rain". Regardless, we sat outside. He then kept being persistent that this is authentic Romanian food, and when my friend said that he's tried that food in Romania, he rudely responded with "Well how do you know that that was the best one?" And if we disregard his behavior, the poor, poor bruschetta you are seeing is whopping 3€, and most things on the menu are way overpriced. Only cool thing there is the cave, also the only place in there that does not smell. If you want to visit a nice place, take my word and go to fanpocometepare, a street food place right down the street, where you'll actually get good food, beautiful energy and a lot of kindness.

Amazing bar with a unique concept. My friend and I came later than my other friends, but we were welcomed by the owner and told to check out any of the wines. My friends tried to push me to get a rosé, but I was not super fond of it, so I ended up getting one of their medium bodied reds that were super smooth and so easy on my pallet. I had a glass of that and ordered some of their frites. While waiting I checked out the "dungeon" which was super cool and unique! I found out from the owner that they are one of two or three Romanian bars in Italy and they are ranked number two. Without a friend I wouldve never known about this spot. Because we were the only patrons in there the owner chated with us and made us feel super welcome! Definitely recommend this spot as a great and unique place to check out while in Tivoli--you will not find anything else like this!!

Absolutely an amazing experience: like traveling to a little Romania pocketed in a quaint Italian village. The cave was cool and the food was made with care and passion. The owner was absolutely a delight. He was so excited to share his culture with my group, and he kept bringing us unexpected treats like delicious bread, Romanian digestive liquor, homemade sour cherry alcohol, and plates of fresh cherries. He shared with us stories of his culture, and played a video of Romanian life on the restaurant TV. Everyone was smiling and laughing and having a great time. The owner has quite the life story too—just ask him about it and he will tell you such interesting things. If you’re in Tivoli, set aside time to visit this place! (Don’t skimp on time though, as the food is cooked to order, and the experience is more than just eating and dashing).

The restaurant is located on a charming, narrow street in Tivoli and is hard to miss as it catches everyone's eye. The atmosphere is welcoming, and the owner greeted us with a smile and good cheer. The interior features traditional Romanian decor and, of course, as the name suggests, with Dracula-themed decorations. The food is traditional Romanian, but most importantly, it is tasty, flavorful, and well-seasoned. The portions were generous and served quickly. The owner, a very friendly man, served us personally and even offered us a glass of palinka on the house. We left happier than when we arrived, thanks to the owner's hospitality and perhaps a bit from the drink :)). Rested and with full stomachs, we continued our walk through beautiful Tivoli. We will definitely return and highly recommend the restaurant.

Take a break from the pizza and Carbonara!!! If you are looking for a great meal in a great location with great service, look no further! The food is here is fantastic! I had an appetizer of polenta, sour cream, goat cheese (if I remember correctly) and a fried egg on top. It was great! Dinner was cabbage rolls with duck and finished with homemade cake. The only thing better than the food was the owner. Very nice and ingratiating. Fully explained the entire menu in order to help me get the best meal. Everything is cooked fresh as you order. Some items so fresh that you will have to wait for 30+ minutes to have it served. I say that as a compliment! If all of that isn’t enough, it’s a neat building also. All Dracula themed as an homage to the Romanian roots of the owners. The cave is a must see.
