Il Forno · Arborilor
Italian restaurant on Arborilor, with praised pizza and contested service
Thin-crust pizza, the Margherita in particular, alongside homemade pasta
Worth it for the pizza and the atmosphere, if you catch a good evening. The reviews about service split sharply, and one reports a 220 lei seafood pizza with two shrimp.
Italian restaurant on Arborilor street, open daily from 10:00, until 22:00 on weekdays and until 1:00 on Friday and Saturday, with free parking. The good reviews praise the design, which one guest calls distinctive, the smell of freshly baked dough, the pizza with a thin, crisp crust, especially the Margherita and a new one with truffle, the homemade pasta, and a singer who appeared during the evening. The staff are described as passionate and happy to recommend a wine. The bad reviews are just as emphatic and target the same things: the service and the price-to-portion ratio. One one-star guest says the drinks came after the food, that they had to repeat requests seven or eight times, and that the seafood pizza, at 220 lei, had two shrimp, the waiter explaining that seafood is expensive. Another one-star guest reports rude waiting staff, and a three-star review describes a very tough ribeye and a table crowded with too many plates.

“Total disaster. Drinks come after the meal. You have to tell and remind the waiter 7–8 times for anything. The seafood pizza has nothing to do with what’s on the menu. There’s barely any seafood inside. You’re selling a pizza for 220 MDL and put in two shrimp. The waiter’s excuse: seafood is expensive, so they don’t add more. Definitely not recommended. For this price, you can …”
