Trattoria Il Calcio Herăstrău is a go-to destination for families in Bucharest looking to enjoy authentic Italian cuisine in one of the city’s most scenic locations. It’s not just about the food — it’s about the experience of dining by the lake, surrounded by nature and calm.

The menu covers all the Italian essentials: fresh pasta, wood-fired pizza, seafood, risotto, and classic desserts. Ingredients are carefully selected, and the preparation reflects a genuine passion for Italian flavors. Even younger guests will find familiar dishes they’ll love — flavorful, approachable, and satisfying.

What truly sets this location apart is the setting: located right on the edge of Lake Herăstrău, on Șoseaua Nordului 7-9, the restaurant’s large terrace floats practically on water. With over 200 seats and cooling mist systems, it’s perfect for hot summer days and long, relaxed meals.

For families, the real bonus is the on-site playground, conveniently located just beside the terrace. Equipped with slides, swings, and climbing features, it allows children to stay active and entertained while parents enjoy a peaceful lunch or dinner. The layout makes it easy for adults to supervise without leaving their table.
