Dante Café & Dine

I liked my lunch at Dantes so much—sitting by the fortress perimeter on the outside terrace enjoying the food, atmosphere, and service—I came back for dinner the next day 💎 yum

One of the better restaurants in Alba Iulia, conveniently situated in a central location next to the citadel. The atmosphere is really great and the restaurant itself is very clean and luxurious. The seating is comfortable and they also have a terrace that's open throughout most months of the year. As this is somewhat of a diner, you'll also have the chance to watch live sports if there's anything on at the moment. The service was absolutely perfect, with our waiter being very friendly and also knowledgeable about the dishes and the drinks that we can pair together with our food. The food was delicious, every dish that we served was tasty, the portions were large enough and the waiting time wasn't too long.

We had lunch and breakfast and on both occasions we enjoyed our food. Big enough portions, very tasty, beautiful plating and most of all food was served pretty fast. Staff were also nice and attentive. Highly recommended it.

We stopped by for a quick dinner from the nearby Cetate Hotel. Our table was in a pleasant outdoor area, and the staff was very accommodating, providing fast and polite service. The quality of the food was quite good, mostly featuring characteristics of Italian cuisine. The lamb was particularly delicious, and the beef was also above average. It’s perfect for business meetings but also a great choice for friends or couples.

Wow! Just wow! Its one of the best restaurants in Romania!! Everything what we ordered were delicious and looked amazing. We were 4 adults and a kid and we visited this place twice in two days for dinner and then lunch. I highly recommend the restaurant. Also the staff is very friendly and helpful, atmosphere and interior - stylish and well designed.

What a nice surprise! A great dining experience right around the corner from my hotel. Very large selection of meals including pizza, pub fare, home cooking and a few elegant delights. Great preparation and attentive staff. Good service and definitely good value for great food. I didn’t even bother looking for another restaurant on this trip. It was so good, I went the second night with a colleague. Good sized portions too!!

Food delicious! Staff prompt, smiling, accommodating! Atmosphere? Not sure what that means for each person exactly, but I didn't appreciate the loud argument between a customer and a defensive lady waiter (her voice was loud, too), on a beautiful Saturday afternoon.

Tucked just steps from the Citadel, this cozy, stylish spot impressed us immediately. The beef cheeks were superb—tender, richly flavored, and beautifully plated. Drinks were outstanding—refreshing and expertly crafted. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, and the staff friendly and attentive. Perfect for a relaxed evening or a special night out. Highly recommended!
