“Cricova was the best and the most excellent experience that I could have! I shouted the atmosphere and most of all the tasty Moldovan cuisine … the salad, mamaliga, the courtesy of the servers, the drinks and the amazing service! Moreover the traditional interior of the restaurant makes the experience absolutely unmatched! Absolutely worth a shot!!!”
