This is the local branch of a Romanian chain of Italian res-
taurants, but don't let that deter you. The food and service are excellent. The baked
lasagne, served with a side of fresh-baked pizza bread, might just be the best meal in
Severin. It's in the new part of town, along the E70 highway in the direction of Craiova,
about 2km from the centre of the old town.

in sleepy Severin. There's decent pizza and other nosh on hand, as well as a garden terrace
furnished with wrought-iron sofas and chairs covered in big white pillows. Around sunset
this place morphs into a full-fledged club-lounge.
