I was not expecting much, seeing that it looks like a small cafe and not a full-on restaurant. Furthermore, we arrived in low-season, and the many of the restaurants were either closed or not selling anymore food.We were the only customers when we arrived, and the chef was sitting at the outside seating area having a drink.When we asked if food is available, he proceeded to explain what ingredients he has left, and what he can cook up for us.We took several of his suggestions - -Carbonora macaroni-Seafood risotto-Chicken Salad-CalamariAnd i will not hesitate to say that his meal was one of the best we have had in Croatia so far. We just couldn't believe our luck! Before leaving, he asked us to leave a review on Tripadvisor for him, but i would have done so in any case.The price was more than affordable, and we were so glad that we chanced upon this inconspicuous gem!

This was an emergency on a very wet, cold day and it was open. It was OK but nothing special but with very nice staff

Despite Pizzeria being so prominent in the name Amfora's menu has diversified to include mussels,homemade pasta,wok shrimps and grilled dishes. Nestled in the walls of the Old Town Amfora's quality and service is friendly, unpretentious and decent value.

Situated in a nice location down a side street in the old town. The food was good quality and reasonably priced for the area.Son and husband both had pizzas which they declared to be good, daughter lasagne and myself the homemade veggie pasta both very tasty. Had a couple of glasses of the house wine which was very drinkable.Although not a memorable meal would definitely return for a no fuss tasty dinner.
