The place is nice, the food was good but not out of the ordinary.The service was great though, the staff was very friendly and nice, the food arrived quickly and the music was great...old italian music, played at a low level.We found parking very easily and close to the restaurant, but we went pretty late, during the day i think is more difficult. We enjoyed the food but we did not like the papanasi, even though the presentation is wonderful, the taste is weird.We appreciated the imagination and the desire to change the receipe in order to make it special, but the texture is just...mushy and tasteless.They were well baked but still felt like they weren't.And also, not sweet enough.Plus, in my opinion they don't work with jam and icecream, probably if you make it sweeter and add sour cream instead of icecream they would taste better.I liked the chicken liver foam though, it worked great with the sweet onion and the schnitzel with potatoes were also tasty. Overall we liked it, it's a quiet, neighbourhood restaurant, in a quiet area of the city.The terrace is pretty small and the tables are very close to eachother, so if you want to sit outside it's best to book a table and do not expect privacy.I didn't mind that but i had to mention it.The prices are fair.We plan to come back and taste the other...

From the moment we stepped into the restaurant, we were warmly welcomed with genuine hospitality – it truly felt like arriving at a friend’s home.
The service and guidance were excellent: when we had questions about the dishes, everything was explained to us patiently and knowledgeably. The filet was cooked to perfection – tender and full of flavor. The mashed potatoes were creamy and very well seasoned. The homemade pasta and the accompanying sauce were an absolute highlight – authentically Italian and prepared with great care and love.
We were pleasantly surprised and, in hindsight, truly happy to have stumbled upon this wonderful Italian restaurant by chance while browsing online. Even though we visited at lunchtime, we could easily imagine how cozy and atmospheric it must be in the evening.
We especially want to highlight the excellent value for money. During our stay in Bucharest, we had the chance to visit many restaurants, which gave us a solid basis for comparison – and Cipollini was definitely one of the best experiences!
We can recommend Restaurant Cipollini 100% – a true delight on every...
Read moreI recently celebrated my mother’s 60th birthday at Cipollini and it was unforgettable, thanks to our amazing waitress, Ramona. She was incredibly helpful, warm, and went above and beyond to make the evening special, even surprising my mom with a dessert and a heartfelt birthday wish.

Highly recommended, amazing food, great atmosphere, and exceptional service from Ramona! We’ll...
