Trattoria della nonna Sculeni

An Italian trattoria that Chișinău locals keep coming back to — some guests have already clocked ten visits. Pappardelle with turkey and truffle, potato waffles with poached egg, Finnish salmon lohikeitto soup — the menu surprises with unexpected combinations, and the tiramisu and San Sebastián cheesecake get reordered before the plate is even cleared. People choose this place for anniversaries and milestone birthdays, and the team delivers evenings worth talking about. Works equally well for a relaxed lunch with a kid or a romantic dinner for two.
