Great find for dinner We had just arrived in Cluj and after a walk around the town we decided to have dinner at Casa Veche. What a great decision! Andre, our server was fabulous. He was patient with us asking questions and he had great suggestions. The cabbage rolls were phenomenal and a large portion. One friend had snitzel, another healthy portion. She loved it! My husband ordered sausage or meatballs for the table. Fantastic! Again, Andre was amazing, if you get him as a server you are lucky! You can go wrong stopping here.

Lovely place to dining in after a busy day walking around with the kids, the member of the staff Sandu was amazing and food gorgeous, one portion is that big you can feed 2 people no problem. Definitely we will come back!
