Restaurant Pizza restaurant Neapolitan restaurant

👍👍 Best pizza I've had in years, the dough was puffy, crispy on the outside but soft on the inside, absolutely delicious. Cheese was not overdone and amount of toppings was just right. Salmon salad was also excellent, even though they had to replace feta cheese with smoked mozzarella due to a shortage.... People often mention pizza, view, great, good, nice, pizzas, music, restaurant, recommend, Great,

    Best pizza I've had in years, the dough was puffy, crispy on the outside but soft on the inside, absolutely delicious. Cheese was not overdone and amount of toppings was just right. Salmon salad was also excellent, even though they had to replace feta cheese with smoked mozzarella due to a shortage. Location is great, right next to the harbor. They had a amazing playlist of 80's hit music, so atmosphere was top-notch. I definitely recommend the place, go check it out if you're in the area.

    One of the best pizzas I’ve had in Europe! The crust is chewy and soft but in a very good way. Made on purpose in order to have a fun chew while sipping in your cocktail and looking into the waters. Great ambiance! Had the lavender cheese with prosciutto pizza. The lavender scent of the cheese wasn’t too strong!

    Went there two times. Once for coffee and cake, once for dinner. Nice location. Service a bit slow (not enough staff, imho) but friendly. Lemon cake was a bit soso and more like a creamy dessert. Drinks are fine. The wine selection was a bit limited and not everything from the menu was available. However, pizza is really, really good there! Local ham with some pizza bread fine. Prices ok. If we go there again, then either just for drinks with a view or pizza.

    Basta is a cool bar / pizza restaurant with a great view over Split harbour. Great pizza and other snacks & drinks. Cool music and atmosphere.

    Stopped here for a drink of iced coffee after walking about Split old town a day before a walk up into Marjan Forest Park. Seating is a mix of high seats and low, soft, comfy sofas. Relatively nice view but marred a little bit by petrol/diesel smell from marina. Quirky toilets with large, ornate mirrors and where gents urinals are separated by tree trunks! 😅

    Excellent pizza, for surprising decent price. Most of the places are tourist traps with overpriced terrible food. This is one a diamond with a magnificent view. We took four pizzas that priced from Eur 13-15 and the size was large for Europe. Came back next day to have another round. Staff is a bit slow but friendly, and drinks are expensive. P.SGo for Bufalina it's magical.

    Great meal for a reasonable price! The water view from anywhere is nice. Definitely would recommend a pizza and charcuterie platter. We got the 1 person cheese platter and a pizza between the two of us. We aren't the biggest eaters but we had a nice amount to bring home.

    Nice venue, right opposite all the super yachts, food was nice as we're the drinks. Food for 3 with a bottle of rose and a few cocktails was about 160 euro, not too bad for the area.

    An excellent bar right on the coast. The pizza and tuna salad are very tasty, the menu looks very good and I hope we will have the opportunity to try more dishes in the future. The staff is very friendly and professional. The only small complaint is the time it takes the waiters to serve the guests. We waited a long time to get the menu, and then we waited a long time again to order, but once we ordered, the food arrived quickly. It is something that can be worked on, but it is not a reason for a lower rating.

    Pizza is amazing! Good crust, good ingredients of quality and very tasty! One of the best pizza I ate, just like in Italy. The menu is very diversified, for every taste. We were seated near the windows, since the restaurant is all in glass we had sea view all over. There was a yacht in front but it was still very nice. Highly recommend for the high quality and good price. The only recommendation for the restaurant is an AC, since it gets really hot in summer.

    Solid pizzas, although could have been in the oven a little longer. The location has great views of the big super yachts and the service was great!

    Gourmet Bar Basta has incredibly good pizzas! We are the tuna salad and two pizzas, truffle pizza and one with half tomato half pesto dough and shrimps, highly recommended! Also the views over the sea and boats in the harbour give it a beautiful atmosphere.

    I definitely recommend the place. The location is really nice right at the water. We had a pizza and a salat which were really tasty. BUT! unfortunately the avocado was not edible. It was solid like a rock and since it made up a good portion of the salad it was a real bummer and therefore only 4 stars. After all I would still highly recommend this place and hope for you that you'll get ripe avocados 😉

    One of the best pizzas in town. Service fast, waiters professional and friendly. A tourist oriented restaurant, with electronic music, is not an atmosphere that suits me. Due to its location on the west coast by the sea the prices are quite high.

    Very nice cheese platter & stunning view. The staff does a great job of checking up on us without hovering. I would not recommend the pizzas, they were barely decent. The desserts that we tried was pretty good though!

    Nice place, amazing view! BUT the waiter forgot about our order, We were waiting 30 min and when we asked for it: "oh sorry guys, i forgot... We can do pizza in 3-4 min for take away if you want..." - No, thanks Never again this place ⛔ Everybody can do mistakes, but when it is about hungry people... And our 30 min time😬no go! at least he could say us not to pay for our hot chocolate, but he didn't, very disappointed.

    Cozy place next to sea, cool view, we went in November and it was cold and with light breeze since upper half of all glass walls were open. There were some heaters though. Food was okay, bit pricy.

    OMG! Highly recommend! Felt so well prepared and delicious! Eliana was our server and she was simply the sweetest and amazing! One place to swing by and it’s a must. Reasonable prices

  • 5/5 Karol P. 9 months ago on Google
    The food was delicious! Plate of cheese and meat as a starter was huge and really tasty. The pizza had intense tomato sauce and fresh topping. Prices were relatively low. Best restaurant we came across in Croatia.

  • 4/5 Marijn 1 year ago on Google
    I visited the restaurant after a day in Split with my girlfriend, It is located on the water so the view while you are enjoying your pizza is splendid. They have a menu in English for the tourists and the waiter who helped us was very well-spoken and easy to understand. He gave us good advice on what kind of pizza to take, was kind and all in all a good bloke. The only downside was that when we wanted to order a dessert they were all out of stock except one. Great place for a pizza with a good view, great atmosphere and even greater staff. We enjoyed it very much. If we are ever in the area again for the holidays we will definitely visit again😁😁

    Incredible! Good music, stunning view, the BEST pizza and tasty cocktails! Will be back for a second time later this week. Well worth a visit.

  • 4/5 James J. 1 year ago on Google
    The food and drinks are tasty. Good quality ingredients and lots of flavour. The prices are about average for the area. It is a shame I didn't stay in the area long enough to revisit and try their pasta. Took a while to get served and then a while before getting the food but it was nice and the staff were polite. Good view of the water and quiet area.

  • 5/5 Gary and B. 1 year ago on Google
    Still great people watching but away from the throng of the old town. We shared the most delicious pizza and two beers. The waiter was engaging and pleasant. Chilled vibe. Great recommendation.

  • 5/5 Ch I. 2 years ago on Google
    Amazing experience The restaurant is just a few meters away from the sea, the atmosphere very cozy with good music The pizzas are really stunning (especially the truffle one) and the desert delicious as well!

  • 5/5 alex r. 5 months ago on Google • 6 reviews
    Awesome spot. As we wandered along the water we were drawn in by the beautiful Patio and view so decided to grab dinner. Had 2 pizzas both were great really nice toppings and great crust - thin and perfect texture. The buratta salad was fresh and a great compliment. Service was great, staff were attentive and polite. It has a nice and casual vibe with nice cocktails. Come for the view stay for the pizza - really nice spot just off the beaten track with great vibes, food and drinks.

    Good pizza. It’s get cold at night in winter so you have to eat fast or eat your pizza as it was just out of the fridge. Nice views and music.

  • 5/5 Nikol Popova D. 2 years ago on Google
    Great pizza and dessert at a decent price and with a great view! Staff was attentive without being bothersome. The setting of the restaurant is also very nice, with modern interior and chill music. The best price/quality meal we’ve had in Croatia for our entire trip.

👍👍 The wings were bbq style saucy and a little spicy. I love spicy so I asked for hot sauce and the waiter brought over a trio of their own signature hot sauces.

👍👍 Best pizza I've ever had! And I just got back from a trip in Italy. The truffle and margarita pizza were amazing! But my favorite dish of the night, was the dessert pizza! Honestly couldn't recommend this place more. Will definitely be back!
