Era opened in 2002 in the heart of Blloku and is still one of the most reliable evening tables in the city: Italian-Albanian, with very good wood-fired pizza, fresh pasta, grilled meats and seafood, and a wine list that covers most of the region. Open until late and friendly to walk-ins, which is rare for a popular Tirana restaurant.
A second outlet on Ismail Qemali street is just as good. Either way, expect a wait at peak times on summer evenings.
