You will want to hate it, this football-themed Italian trattoria with its strangely appealing murals of scenes from important matches in seasons past, but you can't. Offering very good trattoria food, decent pizzas and one of the best salad bars in Bucharest, you will come, love it, and come again. Prices are extraordinarily cheap and the queues outside at lunchtime speak volumes. Service (provided by bright young things in football shirts) can be slow but that's the only complaint we have.
