Service was so bad they actually acted like they didnt want us to eat there. The server just kept saying they changed to the dinner menu at 4:00. We sat down at 3:50 and was handed a lunch menu, it didnt say if it was one or the other. We were ready to order and he wouldnt tell us the difference, we just asked if what we had was the correct menu. After going back and forth he said no and gave us what looked like the exact same menu with a 20% price increase. Now I understand dinner prices, versus lunch, however, if we sat down and were handed one menu and were not informed that should be on them. End the end, we didnt mind so much the price increase; we didnt like how it was handled, he was just waiting for us to just say we didnt want it anymore. "Give us the dinner menu!" There was just one other couple in the restaurant. Wont be visiting again.

We liked the "Sinatra, Rat Pack" look. Old Style rounded booths, beautiful rock wall. Live Entertainment (Female Singer, with a sound guy running the music for her). She sang lite classics and spicy spanish/italian music which was her forte (the latter). Bartender was slow to start but slowly won us back with the details he provided while we were at the bar. Ordered simple appetizer (Calamari) it was done to perfection (light not over cooked; no rubberbands) with a real light red sauce for it. Anyway for our simple appetizers he rolled out the napkins on the bar for us (nice presentation) we got an Olive Tapenade (Olive dipping oil with Olives mixed in) with just a few pieces of bread. So a lot of primping for a couple of drinks and 1 app. They were very nice, definitely going back. $41 Not bad for 3 drinks and an app ($50 with tip).

We went there a couple of days back and as expected, the food was excellent, ambiance was great and the pricing was fair for what we ordered. I paid with my CC for the whole bill which was roughly $60, the waiter took my card at the back to charge it, came with the receipt for the bill, signed and off we went. The problem begun next day when I realised that on my account was being placed a charge of $800 the same evening, immediately after the $60 bill. The only time I left my card unattended was only with that waiter, that particular evening. Thank god, BofA for blocking the card and returning my $$, but the bad experience will stay... Too bad that we leave Romania for a better life in US and we manage to get robed by our own "paesanos"... Draw the conclusions yourself.

I took my mom here for the first time last week to celebrate her birthday. Drinks were perfectly infused (sour apple martini is less sweet than regular apple martini). Romanian appetizers surprisingly delicious. My first time eating Romanian food and it was not disappointing. The service was impeccable. The main course is not your typical American food, so if youre not sure, ask for the Italian menu as it is spectacular from what others told me. Definitely a great place for dinner or celebration. The entertainment was great; not your typical cheesy kind of singing. A definite must when in Hollywood circle.

Was there Saturday night for dinner. Sat outside. The service was outstanding, the wait staff and manager could not have been nicer. We opted for the Romanian menu. The manager came over and explained the items and made suggestions. Started off with the pickled veggies and roasted peppers. Very good. I had the minced pork and cabbage, buddies had the lamb and the goulash. All three were amazing and the portions were huge. Dessert was a donut like cake with cream and cherry sauce. I am not a dessert guy, but could not stop eating it. I highly recommend this restaurant.

The food is good, but not the service. Party of four, we ordered one chicken parmigiana and three veal parmigiana. Was no big deal when we notice that were served two veal and two chicken. As they didnt came back to check if everything was ok, my friend ate it anyway. But when the check came and we complained that what they were charging was not what they served, they made a scandal. Too much rudeness, insinuating out loud that I was lying. They charge automatic tips, so I guess they dont care if you like the service or not.

Food was ok, had Lobster Fra Diavolo, service was abysmal , was charged a service charge that was 18 bucks! The tip was 6 bucks. Actually triple the tip, isnt it illegal to do that in south florida? Whatever positive experience I may have had at the restaurant and the lobster in the fra diavolo tasted like shoe leather btw, was negated by the 18 % gratuity , The waiter @ no point even bothered to check o us while we were eating had to flag him down and I have to pay him 18%? Cmon now.

After walking down the strip I was hungry and decided to stop in at 9:50pm. A very disinterested female server told me the kitchen is no longer taking orders....40 min before the restaurant closes. Ridiculous. I walked around the corner to Mama Mia and was greeted with a smile by a very nice bartender who helped me pick out my dinner and had an awesome experience. If you are thinking about dining here I recommend going around the corner to Mama Mia.

Food was good. The server was so rude. Never asked us how our food was. We sat there done for 30 mins before he came back to box our food. Then another 15 to get the check. When I looked at the check for us 3 he had put a 20% gratuity on the check. He said it was a mistake but Im sure he was trying to scam us. Im a waiter and I also know that charging anyone gratuity is illegal. So check your bill. Wont eat there again.

I loved everything about it! Food is great, but service especially!! Our server was super kind and really attentive for us to have the best experience possible. They mostly have male servers but our one was a girl, and she did an amazing job, being quick, super caring and polite. This is a great place to visit in Hollywood if you are up for Italian/Romanian cousine. 10/10 would recommend!

stopped in for dinner and was seated at a table that still had food and glasses from last customers and was told someone would be there shortly to take care of it after 15 minutes and no service I decided to cut my losses and leave. I do not recommend. this place at all.

I read the reviews before I even thought about eating at this place. Let me be the first to say this on behalf of the negative comments. I DID NOT HAVE ONE BAD EXPERINCE! The place is clean and neat and the Food is AWSOME! I will be back again.
