Mrizi i Zanave it is owned by two brothers who worked in Italy and came back to their birthplace to fund this family farm and restaurant. All products are grown or manufactured within 2 kilometers. Excellent food and service. Highly recommended with necessary advance booking. If you can it’s 1:30 hour ride from Tirana, I swear it’s worth it. Before you go take a look at their website.
