    The amazing place in the heart of Diocletian palace. If posible to give 5+star I would give. The chief cook is the real profesional. The service is amazing. The owner Dino was very positive and take care about small details. The food was delicious and the red vine was amazing. The price is cheap for this kind of service. Thank you for beautiful diner and amazing night.

    Very, very delicious food! I had home made Gnocchi with truffels, my husband fish. So, so good! And very friendly service. The restaurant is located at a nice place, not at the main tourist streams, so a little bit more quiet. We enjoyed it very much!

    With the most warming and welcoming greetings, a lovely lady and a charming place caught our attention, beautiful location!! The "waiter" was super friendly and gave us great recommendations!! My wife from Osijek instantly felt welcomed what I can say gave us an amazing experience!!! Food was absolutely delicious and beautifully prepared, there are so many options that it is hard to decide. I already know what I will order the next time. A surprising discovery that I would certainly recommend and return.

    Food: took over 30 minutes to arrive. Taste of the squid was okay, extra charge for the vegetable side which I think should come with the menu item. The plate was covered in oil/grease at the end of the meal along with a hair I discovered on the plate. Wouldn't really recommend but maybe we just had a bad experience. Drinks: not crazy expensive but pivo came almost half full with a huge head on it, have been to other places where they fill right to the top. Service: The waiter was quite slow, he never cleared the previous table guests glasses from the table he sat us at. When the waiter took our order, he was slightly laughing with another guest who was sniggering at me asking questions about the menu which was rude.

    The service was so incredible. They have a way of making you feel like family. The porcini mushroom truffle gnocchi was the best meal I have had in my life. The balance of flavors, texture of the fresh gnocchi, and portion size was just heaven. 10/10 recommend every part of this restaurant.

    Great, friendly and nice waitress. Good Croatian food and good prices. What ruined the evening is arguing started by the owner (I think he was the owner). That's not how you do business. He should look up to his staff and their manners.

    We enjoyed an excellent lunch with the very good house wines inside the restaurant. The menu was well described by the waiter, and the service quick and friendly. My husband's steak with anchovy butter was tender, not overdone, and my mussels in white wine sauce plentiful and plump.

    Enjoyed the best squid we’ve ever had on a perfect little patio. The owner/manager recommended a bottle of pošip to go with the squid and grilled vegetables and it was exceptional—paired perfectly, and an excellent value for the quality of the bottle. Split is lousy with mediocre restaurants that overcharge all the tourists with poor taste. This is absolutely not one of those restaurants. Do come here if you appreciate perfectly prepared fresh seafood; don’t come here if you would prefer to eat pasta with canned shellfish out of a trough.

    We waited for about 45 minutes for the food because there were technical problems and ”the chefs hadn’t received our order”. When our mussels finally came, they were overcooked and lacked taste. Cuttlefish risotto was good but there was really small amount of cuttlefish. My partner’s gnocchi with scampi and truffles was way overcooked and not good. The scampi seemed like it was from the freezer. We got two shots on the house because the food took so long. The waitress also kindly apologized for the long wait. When paying, we asked for a little discount because of all the waiting and the bad quality of the food and the waitress responded by saying she gave us the shots and the ”food was excellent”. We saw there was no point in arguing and paid the full price (minus the shots). Unfortunately, we can’t recommend this place if you want to eat dinner. The overall experience was bad because of the disappointing quality of the food. There are definitely better restaurants in Split.

    We found this restaurant by chance and had a delicious meal. My husband ordered baked octopus with vegetables in a white wine sauce and the staff assisted me with my selection as I was tossing up between a couple of items. I decided on gnocchi with shrimp and truffle. The gnocchi is made on the premises and was like little cloud puffs. Highly recommend this restaurant.

    The food, the atmosphere, the service ! Where do I begin ! Shoutout to our server Electrina she was so amazing and sweet ! I highly recommend this Restarant ‘ it’s perfect for a home cooked meal and just off the crazy square!

    My wife and I were met by a sweet lady whom reviewed and made a wonderful recommendation of Baked Octopus. What an amazing dish! Coupled with a fresh green salad and Beef Carpaccio.

    Food was outstanding, service was lovely and the setting charming. We went for lunch and enjoyed it so much we went back for dinner. If you want delicious traditional Croatian food in a beautiful setting then eat here!

    We were lured to this restaurant by a woman who advertised the delicious food and the handsome waiter. We were rather disappointed by the waiter tho. He never answered our questions, he just went off without saying a word. When we paid the bill, he just pointed the card reading device at our faces, again without saying a word. It felt like he was challenged to say as little as possible. Despite everything we gave him a tip and he didn’t even thank us. He only talked as much as necessary which, for a waiter, appeared quite rude. Concerning the food, we were starving and it took a while till we got it. The octopus with grilled vegetables tasted bland so I had to salt it, however it still didn’t taste like much. My friend had the gnocchi with shrimps and truffles however there was only one (1) big shrimp and about 5 very little fellas. Also my other friend had the gnocchi with mushrooms and truffle, and both of them had too much sauce. All in all, we wouldn’t come here again.

    Stumbled upon this place late on a Thursday. It was 10pm and we were seated right away. There is a good menu with lots of food options. The house white wine was great. The fish soup was fresh. The baked octopus was a great portion baked perfectly with veggies in a delicious sauce. The gnocchi with shrimp & truffle was amazing and big portion as well. I was surprised with the dessert. It was a frozen whipping crème of almonds and caramel. Everything was delicious & nicely priced. Excellent service and beautiful ambiance.

    The host and the waiter were both super nice and friendly and made me feel so welcome. Food was good, nothing phenomenal but good and affordable.

    Amazing food with homemade and fresh taste, served by the great Elektrina, who seems to love her job, surrounded by Old-Town walls of Split! Perfect dinner!

  • 5/5 thebaronspencer 8 months ago on Google
    My wife and I travelled to Split from Toronto for our anniversary, and we're so glad we decided to enjoy our meal at the Mosquito Grill & Wine House. Firstly, the food was delicious - I'm a huge soup fan, and the Dalmatian clear soup filled me with joy. My seafood risotto was also amazing, as was my wife's grilled squid. The quality of the service also matched the quality of the food. Our server, Elektrina, was so kind, and we felt right at home. If you ever find yourself find in Spit, there's no better place to enjoy a meal than here!

  • 5/5 Alex C. 10 months ago on Google
    We came upon this restaurant by chance, and after reading some reviews it was clear that we should try the gnocchi. It did not disappoint. The smoked ham and truffle gnocchi was incredible, so much flavour without being overpowered by truffle. Same with the mushroom gnocchi that my partner had. The waiter/manager/owner(?) was so passionate and really made the meal enjoyable and entertaining.

  • 1/5 Bibi van L. 1 year ago on Google
    Really bad service. We asked why our food took so long (45 minutes), they said it was because we were with a large group. It was an quite evening and not that many people were eating diner. It took 1,5 hours for us to get our food and the staff was ignoring use. The shrimps were raw (see picture) and ingredients were missing. Would not recommend this place at all. Hope we’re not sick tomorrow.

  • 5/5 Nessa 10 months ago on Google
    The restaurant itself is really cute. There are not so many tourists around cause it’s a little side street. So sitting outside in the street is such a great vibe and the atmosphere is great. I tried the homemade gnocchis with smoked ham & truffles and it was SO GOOD! Can recommend it, it’s a 10/10 for me 🤤

    Shrimps of Parma. Absolutely beautiful dish with shrimps from the grill and sauce with saffran in white vine. Amazing

  • 5/5 david m. 1 year ago on Google
    We had grilled squid and vegetables, dalmatian white fish, a bottle of posip wine followed by desert. The food was fabulous and the service impeccable.

  • 5/5 Ximena M. 1 year ago on Google
    Amazing!! Don’t hesitate to eat here. Not only is the staff super helpful but extremely friendly. I got the Octopus and it’s rich, full of flavor served with roasted veggies. My husband got steak that was perfectly cooked and so tender. We plan on coming back for lunch bc the menu had so many options.

  • 5/5 Lars J. 1 year ago on Google
    I had the mixed grill and my Girlfriend the Vegetarian gnocchi. Every meat from the mixed grill was perfectly cooked, not dry or overcooked, just perfect. I had a try of the gnocchi and they were brilliant! The waiter was very attentive and always friendly.

    We were going elsewhere and the lady host invited us to try the family restaurant and everything from service to food was just excellent. We had the seafood platter for 2 and it’s was delicious and very fresh. Perfectly cooked Tuna I’ve ever tasted. I’ll come here again.

  • 5/5 Elena M. 1 year ago on Google
    Delicious food and fantastic service!! The gnocchi was just out of this world and the octopus too! Really lovely lady serving us too, you can tell she really cared about the service and quality of the meal. To top it off it’s decently priced too!
