  • Trattoria Romana, Mihai Viteazu, nr. 6 (Next to the 1st Gate of the Fortress), 0763616191, [2]. The restaurant is placed in a great location, near the Fortress, right next to the First Gate ('Poarta a-Ia a Cetăţii'). The atmosphere is cosy, and the owner - who is also the cook - specialized in Italian dishes. You can get here various seafood plates, grilled fish, great pasta but also international dishes such as stakes of rabbit stew.  edit
