We went out to Asconi for the first time after Janet's going away party. It was daylight, so we got to see things - and it was hot, too! The place is beautiful and they are in the process of making it moreso. We were taken on tour by one of the owners before having a tasting and lunch.
Andreas and I agree that Buddha Bar has one of the best meat plates in Chisinau. It's wonderful. The rest of the food - not so much. It's passable. They do make an excellent cucumber lemonade, though!
Andreas really likes C House's Italian plate (directly below). I love their bruschetta (above). Both use very fresh ingredients and wonderful presentation. The rest of the food is good too!
