There’s much more to Romanian food than steak, this friendly restaurant aims to prove. There’s polenta, for instance, and lots of it: mounded into a papa-bear portion and blanketed with sour cream and grated feta; stuffed with sour cream and feta and served with sausages and a fried egg; and as the sauce-sopping garnish for hearty dishes like spicy stuffed cabbage and juicy deep-fried Cornish hen. Nearly as sweet as the Romanian rosé we sampled were the papanasi, perhaps the world’s most imposing doughnuts—doused, for good measure, with sour cream and apricot preserves.

— Rob Patronite and Robin Raisfeld
