This is a very cute and very clean small Eastern European rest we chose the platter which had polenta, a type of sausage, a stuffed cabbage roll, and chicken paprikash. All were very good and very tender and fresh. The only disappointment was the apple strudel which I felt the apples were definitely overcooked very close to an applesauce consistency with a few chunks of apples and the day was ruined when it was seemingly heated in a microwave prior to being served .The prices were very reasonable. And the staff was very friendly I would definitely go back when I was in the mood for that type of food
Great food even if in small portions!!!
The food is OK to good, but the service is indifferent at best, as in, the staff clearly is annoyed that you decided to have dinner at this particular establishment this evening.
Dishes were brought to our table separately rather than all at once. Given that the we were the only table and there was plenty of wait staff sitting around doing nothing, this method of serving of dishes was puzzling and annoying.
Our server never checked on us after our meals were brought out.
No one in the restaurant asked us if we enjoyed our meal.
There was an issue with the credit card reader on their computer terminal, so one of our party left to get cash at an ATM. After we paid with cash, no one thanked us for going to the trouble to pay with cash or apologized for this inconvenient situation.
No one thanked us for dining with them as we were leaving.
WTF?
Another restaurant in North Naples/ Bonita Springs that should be avoided unless you're desperate, starving, and/or looking for indifferent service.
I have never had such poor service. We were waited on by the owner. She described her homemade pasta. We ordered a drink. Ordered from the menu and that was the last of her service. I went to the counter to find one of the waiters eating at the counter and asked if our waitress would please come to our table. We had not been asked if our dinner was OK or if we would like another drink. A different waiter came. I asked who our waiter was and she pointed her out. I said "oh she has been visiting at that table over there since taking our order" Turns out she is the owner.
From then on the owner was rude and abrupt
We had hoped to find a small inviting restaurant. Sorry but if the owner waits on you and doesn't know you, tough luck getting good service or an apology for poor service
Rudeness seems to be her virtue.

Dined many times at this lovely restaurant. Invited friends for dinner on 12/30/14 and came back on 1/6/15 for a lovely Lenten dinner on Christmas Eve 1/6/15 (Orthodox; Julian Calendar). Our guests had a grouper and my husband and I had a mititei. For the Christmas Eve dinner, I had vegetarian cabbage rolls and my husband had a salmon. In both instances, the same as many times before, we could not have asked for anything more. The food was great, atmosphere and service equally as good. Quantity of food, quality of food and pricing are structured so that you can indeed enjoy your meal.
Please, don't forget to try Daniela's home made bread! She makes it from scratch on a daily basis. It is the same as your grandmother used to make.
This is one place that I recommend to anyone visiting or living in Naples. Most people that go into the restaurant will meet the owners Cori and Dani, and once you meet them you will see that they truly do care about the their food an that you enjoy it. Everything there is made from scratch by the chef, and the flavor in the food is amazing. I have tried most of the menu there now, and no matter what I have tried I have not had one complaint. Two things that I recommend that everyone try are the eggplant dip with the homemade bread and the Csirke Paprikás, which is a Hungarian stew with chicken and homemade pasta. This is a great dish to introduce anyone to who wants to experience traditional Hungarian and Romanian food.
