Nestled just a short distance from the heart of Cluj-Napoca, RODIZIO - Strada Nordului invites you into a vibrant world of authentic Brazilian churrasco alongside a refined menu inspired by Italian flavors. This unique restaurant masterfully blends richly spiced grilled meats with delicate, flavorful pizzas and fresh seafood, promising a dining experience that excites the senses and warms the soul.
The star of the menu is undoubtedly the rodízio — a traditional Brazilian all-you-can-eat feast of perfectly seasoned and grilled meats, carved tableside with passion and precision. Reviewers rave about the tender, juicy cuts that melt effortlessly on the palate, showcasing the expertise of a chef deeply rooted in authentic Brazilian culinary craft. For those seeking something lighter or with a Mediterranean flair, the Pinsa pizzas are a highlight; particularly the Pinsa Salame Mozzarella with its vibrant tomato sauce, creamy mozzarella, and savory salami, or the Pinsa Tonno E Cipolla, combining tender tuna and sweet onions over a crisp, airy crust. Each pizza bursts with fresh, balanced flavors that reflect Italy’s artisanal pizza-making traditions.
Seafood lovers will appreciate offerings like the Somon Grill, paired with green beans and a luscious pink sauce, or the Dorada La Cuptor, a baked delight that captures the delicate sweetness of the fish. For a bit of crunchy indulgence, the Calamari Prajiti—crispy fried calamari—is a must-try appetizer.
The atmosphere at RODIZIO is equally noteworthy, seamlessly blending a cozy yet sophisticated vibe with stunning views that elevate the dining experience. Guests highlight the lively ambiance, enhanced on special evenings by live DJ sets and shows, making it a perfect spot for both relaxed meals and celebratory gatherings. The staff's genuine warmth and attentiveness further enhance the welcoming atmosphere, ensuring every visit feels personal and special.
One of the most enchanting aspects of RODIZIO is its distinctly international charm. With an Italian chef at the helm and authentic Brazilian culinary roots, the restaurant serves a multicultural experience rarely found in the city. While the location is a little off the beaten path—accessible via a slightly bumpy road—the journey is well worth it, transporting diners into a flavorful escape from the everyday.
Whether you're drawn by the smoky allure of the churrasco, the delicate artistry of pinsa pizza, or the fresh zest of grilled fish, RODIZIO - Strada Nordului delivers a sensory journey framed by genuine hospitality and a vibrant, festive spirit. This is not just a meal, but a heartfelt celebration of tastes that leaves an unforgettable impression.

This is a hidden gem 10m away from the city! Food is delicious and I believe is the only place where the chef doesn't speak Romanian! Because he's a genuine Italian! Love the food, the view and the atmosphere!

We went here for an event. The food was really good but the portions a bit on the small side. Atmosphere was nice, there was a dj and a show and overall the place looks really good. The staff and owners are really friendly. One small downside is the location as it is a bit far and the road a bit bumpy, but worth a visit.

Im in love with this place, and as a Brazilian I believe my review has a little cherry on top feeling The bedroom was super comfortable and spacious, it was very clean and everything worked pretty well. The food was delicious, unfortunately I couldn’t really try a rodízio but the lunch and dinner were and the staff was super nice to accommodate what I needed. I met Solange and Patricia (others too that I couldn’t get the names) and they were so lovely and helpful I stayed just two days for an event but it was enough time to enjoy the food, the view and the pool. Only feedback for better - the swimming pool could be cleaner Looking forward to coming back

Delicious food — truly authentic Brazilian flavors. The standout is the churrasco — a must-try if you want the real Brazilian experience.

Interesting concept, I had the 2nd menu with buffet and the extra 6 types of meat for 95 Ron. The buffet was ok, not sure how fresh was the food on there but everything was cold. After this the meat started to come and everything changed, every time the meat was perfectly cooked and tasty. The wine selection is very good, the view is stunning. The only minus for me were the flies in the room, quite couple of them and in combination with an open buffet is not something you want to see.
