    Family business with nice people and very good cuisine. We have been here several times and tried many dishes. There was not one that disappointed us. Even supposedly "simple" dishes like fish soup tasted delicious, seasoned with real crab meat. This is not convenience food, but real culinary art. Try the "Millefoglie" at the end 😋

    In our second attempt we made it and had a lovely dinner (family of 6 persons ). You need to call in advance and book a table . Otherwise your first attempt to have a meal in the restaurant will not succeed (just like us). I had a challenge to find a meal for my self since I'm a vegetarian&fish consumer. I was going to make a fast food choice but then the nice waiter (Emanuel) introduced to me a few plates options with humor and great service. I went with his suggestion ( grilled sea bass with side vegetables) the food was tasty and good . Nice friendly attitude and service from the waiter made it all . I recommend to visit and try. Thank you .

    We had no reservation and it was very busy. But they managed to get us a table, what a great service! The atmosphere is great, the food very delicious and the service is perfect! Will definitely come back when I'm back in Croatia.

    Fantastic, tasty, yummy, calmful place far from the city centre. Great location for the best restaurant in Pula that we've ever been to. The stuff is very attentive, well-mannered, friendly. Food was fantastic, with deep flavours. The only change I'd do is to go for flat pasta for mushrooms rather than the round one. However, it should be noted that it's home-made!

  • 5/5 Simon H. 1 year ago on Google
    Very friendly staff. High quality ingredients. Cozy and authentic location. I'd go again.

  • 5/5 Bruno A. 1 year ago on Google
    Very cozy place, outside Pula center, so perfect to avoid the mass tourism. Food was excellent, delicious, big portions, staff was super friendly and offered us the coffees and a special homemade liquor. And the price was super affordable. If we ever return to Pula, for sure I will visit this wonderful restaurant. Greetings from Portugal!

  • 5/5 Max W. 1 year ago on Google
    The staff were very welcoming and friendly and the food was really good. The shrimp stuffed squid and the sea bass tagliatelle were both very tasty and the fiorentina steak was good, however it was cooked well done rather than rare like its supposed to be but not bad enough to knock a star off. There were a lot of really good looking choices in the menu so if we had stayed in Croatia longer then we probably would have been back to try other things!

    Sorry for not posting a photo of our plates. We ate it before i could think about it. Unbelievable good tasty food, friendly service and recommendations from the waiters. I’m spoiled when it comes to food and amazed. Perfect atmosphere and taste combination.

  • 5/5 Jurica B. 1 year ago on Google
    An amazing family business. The attention to the detail was amazing, especially when it comes to the food they serve. You can feel the hard work they invest in their meals in every bite. Everything we ate was 100% fresh and locally grown, a real adventure for the palate! Keep on the good work!

  • 5/5 Wendy B. 1 year ago on Google
    This family does everything to give their guests a pleasant evening. The food is of good quality and with the most delicious flavours. We went for dinner twice during our holiday and both times we (and our children) completely cleared our plates. In addition to all the delicious food, they also make liqueurs which you must have tasted before you leave the restaurant. We will definitely come back!

  • 5/5 Wandering Grizzly B. 1 year ago on Google
    Although the ambience is a bit outdated, everything looks very neat. We waited a lot for our food, approx. 40 minutes, but our gnocchi were fantastic. If the reason for such a long wait is that they made fresh gnocchi, then we will wait in the future as well. Mushroom sauce and beef goulash are great. Only big drawback is that they don't have a parking lot, so we had to leave the car at the very edge of a very narrow street.

    Small local business with local food not to expensive... very nice 👌🏻 Friendly people and always answering with a big smile on our questions. The restaurant is always fully booked...so make reservations. If we can we sure come back someday ✌🏻

    Awesome food, Super friendly service, nothing more you can ask for a great meal. Highly recommended. Arrive early to secure a good place. Family owned, true passion is experienced at every step. Thank you for great memories

  • 5/5 Inga K. 1 year ago on Google
    Amazing place, the best one we've been in so far in Croatia! Everything was more than delicious, and super large portions (especially the chicken with cheese and bacon! that was a big surprise). The waiter was very kind and attentive, made great recommendations. The service was fast and food arrived very quickly. We paid slightly over 400kn for 4 of us, with drinks incl. beer! Highly recommended if you are in Pula!

  • 5/5 Lukas R. 2 years ago on Google
    One of the best restaurants I‘ve been to. The staff is very professional and friendly. The waiter recommended a few meals and it was possible to order a mixed plate that was not on the menu. Everything we ordered was delicious and on point !! They also recommended a local wine that was perfect for the fish and the self-made Lemon-cake was absolutely amazing !! We felt very welcome and all together with the pianist it was an amazing evening.

    We had a pleasant stay here and enjoyed Istrian sausage with olives, homemade bread and olive oil. They also offer delicious homemade pasta! My pasta was served with very tender Istrian beef and the sauce was delightful and packed with flavour :-)
