The seafood menu was creative and precise&mdash;loved how the local wine pairings matched each course. Michelin star feels earned. Just wish the pacing was a bit quicker.

The menu had a good mix&mdash;doner, wiener schnitzel, salads. I went with the schnitzel and it was fresh, no complaints. Place was clean too, which I always notice. Parking right nearby made it easy, so that was a bonus. Just a solid, no-fuss lunch stop.

Came for a birthday dinner and honestly the food was the highlight. The truffle pasta was rich without being too heavy. Service was fine, nothing crazy. Place got a bit loud by the end but I&#39;d still go back.

The fish tartare and spaghetti were decent, and the Slovenian Pinot Grigio surprised me. Decor feels a bit dated though.

The three-course menu for &euro;30 is a good deal, especially with that little extra from the kitchen. Just be ready for a noisy room and tight tables.

Lively spot, that&#39;s for sure. Pizza was solid and the bowling after made it a fun night out. Just wish it wasn&#39;t quite so loud.

Decent spot for a casual meal. Had the grilled fish and it was fresh, well seasoned. Portion size was fine, not huge but fair for the price. Staff were friendly, didn&#39;t hover. Place got a bit noisy later in the evening, but that&#39;s on us for going at peak time. Solid enough, I&#39;d come back if I&#39;m in the area.

Tried the truffle pasta for the first time &mdash; really rich and creamy. Portions were solid too. Place got a bit loud later, but I&rsquo;d still come back for that dish.

The staff brought toys for our kids and took time explaining the menu. Pizza was really good too. Courtyard seating made it feel relaxed.

Decent spot for a quick lunch. Food was fine for the price and the self-service kept things moving. Waitress was friendly too.

Decent spot for a quick lunch. Staff was friendly and didn&#39;t keep us waiting long, even though it was busy. Sat in the courtyard with a pizza and a glass of wine&mdash;fine way to break up the afternoon. Nothing fancy, but it worked. Maybe a bit pricey for what it is, but I&#39;d come back.

Been coming here for a while now. Desserts are consistently good, and it&#39;s open late when most places are shut. That&#39;s mainly why I keep going back.

Apart from providing an intersting and inventive tasting menu, and a great choice wines, with interaction with staff was excellent.

very good food and service. We went on a family dinner and had a good time. However, it&#39;s possible to get also very good food and service in other restaurants in the area for a bit lower price.

Lovely local restaurant. Food was excellent. The only problem we had was being able to access the online menu which was frustrating. The experience was greatly enhanced when we received a written menu and could then ask our server for food and wine recommendations. It&rsquo;s a shame to only have the online menu as you lose the personal touch which makes the dining experience more pleasurable. Overall we very much enjoyed the food and ambience.

Outside tables next to the park fill quickly and a pretty quiet (away from walking street). Good range of wine/prices by bottle and food was flavorable

Our waiter, a Croat whose name I have forgotten, was absolutely wonderful. He moved us to an outside table in the shade and with a view of the harbor and hills when one became available. And he engaged us in friendly conversation. Beyond that, the food was excellent, particularly the mixed seafood risotto (requires two people to order). I&#39;d happily return again and again just to have the risotto and some sparkling water (although the suggested wine was very good and not overcharged). Inside is nice but could get a bit noisy when there is a group having lunch.

Lovely rustic spot, felt like a little piece of Tuscany. The open fireplace grill is so nice, it really warms up the whole room. Made for a very comfortable and relaxing dinner.

The zuppe de pesce was packed with calamari, mussels, clams, octopus, and scampi. The sauce was so good, I wanted to take it home for pasta.

Authentic restaurant with local cuisine. Food was delicious and owner was welcoming and helped us with choices. We were only staying one night and so glad we found this restaurant. It&rsquo;s a bit off the main section for restaurants but we&rsquo;ll worth the extra 5 minutes walk to get there. You won&rsquo;t be disappointed with this restaurant. All locals in when we were there - always a good recommendation!

Absolutely impeccable service and food.  From start to finish the food and service was unbeatable.  The employee who wears glasses is an especially personable and knowledgeable young lady.  She smiled the entire evening and explained each dish in exquisite detail.  The chef came out and greeted us at the end.  This restaurant should be three Michelin stars.

Buffet breakfast had a solid spread, especially the pastries and prosciutto. Cappuccino was on point.

Stopped by for a drink at sunset. The view over the lagoon is the main event, honestly. The rustic building has a cool vibe. A bit pricey for just a spritz, but that&#39;s the view tax, I guess.

This little pizza spot is the real deal. Right by the water, you can see the sea from the table. The crust had a nice char, and the mozzarella was fresh and creamy. Just a simple, solid pizza done right.

Love the big windows here! Perfect for a chill lunch with friends when it&#39;s cold out. We got a table by the glass and just hung out for ages, watching the street. The view is the whole vibe. 🍂

The pizza menu is massive, and grabbing a cold HB with it just works. That crisp lager cuts right through the richness of the pepperoni and cheese. Simple, classic pairing. They get it.
