2 Kitarrat Arome Deti in Durrës, Albania

2 Kitarrat Arome Deti is a waterfront restaurant in Durrës, on the Currila/Taulantia side of the city’s seafront, and it remains an active dining venue in 2026. Current map and hotel listings place the restaurant at the 2 KITARRAT Boutique Hotel & SPA complex, while the restaurant’s managed Tripadvisor listing uses the address Rruga Currila, Durrës 2003. It is best suited to travelers who want a sea-facing table, a broad seafood-and-Italian menu, or an easy meal that can work for couples, families and mixed groups. The main tradeoff is that this is not a hushed, formal dining room: live music, a busy terrace and the lively waterfront setting are part of the experience, especially later in the day.

The location is a major reason to choose it. The restaurant sits by the water near the Currila end of Durrës, close to the Vollga waterfront and the Sfinksi seaside viewing area. That makes it practical after a walk along the promenade or a sightseeing circuit through central Durrës. The Amphitheatre of Durrës is also within the wider central area, so a meal here can fit naturally before or after visiting the historic core. The terrace is the obvious draw in fair weather, but a sea view should be treated as part of the setting rather than a guarantee for every table; if that matters, it is worth requesting waterfront seating when booking.

The current menu shows that 2 Kitarrat is more than a dinner-only seafood restaurant. A dedicated breakfast menu is listed from 07:00 to 13:00, with Albanian-leaning options such as petulla, trahana with white cheese, and an “Arome Deti” breakfast combining eggs, sausage, petulla and white cheese. More international choices, including pancakes, crêpes and eggs Benedict, broaden the morning offer. This early opening is useful for hotel guests and travelers starting a day in Durrës, while the long operating day means the same address also works for lunch, sunset dining or a late meal.

Seafood becomes more prominent in the main menu. Current listings include linguine allo scoglio with squid, cuttlefish, mussels and shrimp; shrimp with tagliatelle; seafood risotto; fish soup; grilled shrimp; grilled sea bass or sea bream with potatoes; fried calamari; mixed fried seafood; grilled octopus; and whole sea fish sold by weight. The cooking style is broadly Mediterranean with a strong Italian influence rather than a narrowly traditional Albanian menu. That is useful for groups in which some people want local coastal ingredients and others prefer familiar pasta or pizza.

Pizza is a substantial part of the offer, with standards such as marinara and margherita alongside capricciosa, diavola, frutti di mare and the house “2 Kitarrat” pizza with mozzarella, prosciutto crudo, rocket, grana and cherry tomatoes. There are also salads, vegetable soup, chicken and meat dishes. Tripadvisor currently labels the restaurant vegetarian-friendly and notes vegan and gluten-free options, but those platform tags should not be read as an allergen guarantee. Anyone with celiac disease or a serious food allergy should confirm preparation methods directly with the restaurant before ordering.

The visible 2026 delivery menu gives a useful sense of cost without being a promise of the dine-in bill. Breakfast items generally sit in the few-hundred-lek range, many pasta dishes are around 1,000–1,200 lek, and several grilled or fried seafood plates are around 1,300–1,600 lek. Whole fish sold by weight can cost substantially more, and wine can raise the total quickly. Delivery pricing and restaurant pricing can differ, so the best way to use these figures is as a scale: simple breakfast or pizza is relatively modest, while a seafood dinner with wine can become a much more expensive meal.

Recent visitor accounts repeatedly mention the waterfront terrace, sea view and live music, and 2025–2026 comments describe the venue as suitable for both family meals and relaxed lunches. Those observations are anecdotal rather than guarantees of a particular night’s atmosphere or service. Live music is also a preference issue: it can make dinner feel festive, but travelers looking for a quiet conversation may prefer an earlier table or should ask what is scheduled. The venue’s broad opening span means there is usually flexibility to avoid the busiest evening period.

Current listings agree on opening hours of 07:00 to midnight every day. Wolt’s menu separately shows breakfast service to 13:00. Because hours can change for holidays, private events or seasonal operations, checking on the day is sensible. Parking is listed by Tripadvisor, including off-street and street parking, but spaces around a popular waterfront can be more competitive at busy times. Travelers already staying in central Durrës may find it simpler to arrive on foot along the seafront rather than plan the meal around a guaranteed parking space.

Third-party listings describe the restaurant as wheelchair accessible and also note highchairs and a playground, which strengthens its appeal for multigenerational groups. The available sources do not give enough detail to confirm every step, doorway, toilet or terrace transition, so visitors who depend on step-free access should contact the venue directly. The same caution applies to seating beside the water: the restaurant clearly occupies a waterfront setting, but table layouts and outdoor sections can change.

2 Kitarrat Arome Deti works best when the setting and menu are both part of the decision. Choose it for a long seafront breakfast, a seafood lunch, pizza with children, or dinner where live music and the waterfront atmosphere are welcome. Travelers seeking a tightly focused fine-dining menu, a silent room or a guaranteed low-cost seafood meal should look more carefully at the menu and timing before committing. Its strongest practical advantage is versatility: one address covers breakfast through late evening, with seafood, pasta, pizza, drinks and a location that fits naturally into a day around central Durrës.
