I highly recommend ordering them as an appetizer. The service was also excellent—friendly, attentive, and welcoming throughout the meal. Overall, a very enjoyable lunch experience."

I would recommend anyone to come here and enjoy all of the food, and the beautiful wines that they have on offer. The dessert was delicious as well! Mala made our evening perfect."

The food was outstanding — we had the lamb dish, ragu risotto, and seafood tagliatelle — all cooked to perfection with incredible flavors. You can really taste the homemade touch in everything, especially the fresh pasta made from scratch. A must-visit in Split!"

The octopus was particularly tasty! There was not a single thing I could possibly ask for. If I could give more stars i would!"

Mar 18, 2026"Great haunt for local cuisine and excellent vibes. Great food that tastes and feels like it could've been served at a Michelin fine dining restaurant but at reasonable prices. This restaurant revived the street and organised the Christmas market vibe in this part of town. The locals know it and come for mulled wine in December. Very vibey! Service staff are friendly, speak good English, and are willing to accommodate. English menu available too. Kitchen staff move with precision and speed - they totally know what they're doing! Pasta was excellent! Gnocchi was decent but I've had better. Salad was nice and refreshing. Dessert was the best - we couldn't stop eating! They have various drinks, from hard liqueurs to wine, and mulled wine in winter. Botanist gin for 9 euros. Beer for about 5 euros. Reasonably priced!"
