good food and very good service. I read many posts here and so I tried the istrian style steak with homemade pasta.It was good,but I had better ones here in Istria.And also I found that the size of my meal was a little small.Pasta was very good though,the flesh was better than average but no more and as said above rather small + thin

It's a friendly family owned restaurant with great service and food. They serve traditional Istrian dishes. Ingredients are seasonal and fresh. My favorite is pasta which is homemade. We tried pasta with goulash and truffles. Both were superb. This place definitely has to be on your list when in Poreč.

Portions are too small, so you need to order extra if you don't want to go home hungry. When you order extra price becomes extra expensive. The food is prepared well and it is tasty. 40 eur per person with no desert is really too much for domestic Istrian tavern.
