Farina
It starts with flour
White hands, a wooden board, a cloud of flour. This is where our pasta is born — not in a factory.

Pasta fresca,fatta trafratelli.
A small bistro with too few tables and too much flavour — tucked behind the passage linking Council Square to Piața Enescu. Two brothers, pasta made by hand, and a glass of prosecco that goes with everything.

Oggi da Dei Frati
Come a casa
We cook and serve as a family — you eat, you drink and feel right at home.
Nothing complicated. No hidden recipes. No secret ingredients. Just a will to work and good music in the background. — from our Facebook page
I fratelli
They traded code for flour.

2015 · Piața Enescu
Two brothers, one bistro
Two brothers with careers in IT decided one day to open a bistro. They named it after a well-known Italian winery and hid it behind a passage, right where Council Square meets Piața Enescu.
Division of labour
“Vlad cooks and Alex looks after Vlad.”
That, in short, is the Dei Frati org chart. The Grana Padano wheel, the clouds of flour, the lunchtime pasta — and honestly, it has worked for ten years.
2019 · Dei Frati Magnolia
Same story, with parking
We opened a second Dei Frati in the Magnolia Food Court in Răcădău — still us, but with parking and delivery. Since 2025, on lazy days, we also send our pasta home via Glovo.
2025 · ten years
First losers, then first
At the 2022 Horeca Awards we were the “first losers” — runners-up. In 2025 they saw how much we had aged in ten years and named us “Best Mediterranean restaurant”.
Il rito della pasta
From a cloud of flour to your plate.
Farina

White hands, a wooden board, a cloud of flour. This is where our pasta is born — not in a factory.

Impasto
Dough, by hand
Kneaded until it turns to silk, then left to rest. Green with spinach when it comes to our “evergreen” pasta.
→
Taglio
Cut on the spot
Tagliatelle, tagliolini, ravioli, gnocchi — cut by knife or fed through the machine, nest by nest.
→
La ruota
The Grana Padano wheel
Hot pasta is tossed right inside the wheel of parmesan until it picks up the very best of it.

In tavola
At the table
It reaches you with a glass of prosecco alongside. The rest is up to you.

The chalkboard by the door: whatever didn’t fit on the menu. Sometimes carbonara, sometimes fresh oysters. You only get to read it if you stop by.

Probably the best original Italian homemade pasta in town.
All the food was very good, from the starter to the dessert.
A Transylvanian ballad of two corporate guys with a zest for life.
Il vicolo
Too few tables, too much flavour.
Walk through the passage off Council Square onto a little lane of apricot façades and ivy, a few steps from the Black Church. Outside, a small terrace that’s always full; inside, the blue wall, an open kitchen and Italian music.
House advice: book. Even on a Monday.
Getting here
Prenotazione — prego!

Same story, with parking and delivery.
Since 2019 you’ll also find us in the Magnolia Food Court in Răcădău — the same pasta, without the parking hunt. And on lazy days we bring it to your door via Glovo.
