10. Santa Croce

Reviewed By DavideM592
Attracted by the good reviews we decided to have dinner here but, unfortunately, it was not a great experience.I ordered salted sardonas which are salt preserved sardines filletts as starter, Unfortunately they were served on a bed of raw onion which did not help with the saltiness of the fish as they are ususally served with tomatoes.I also had monkfish tail with truffle. judging by the water on the plate the monkfish must have been frozen and not fresh. Also, the dish was bland and tasteless. It was our worst meal in Rovinj.

Probably the best restaurant in the centre of Pula. Excellent food, wine and service, with a good atmosphere. Open from 13.00 to 22.00.

Everything is prepared with attention to the smallest detail, the service is welcoming and kind, elegant atmosphere, but the main protagonist is the quaity of the food. Some dishes could appear 'simple' but Restaurant Peteani will surprise you no matter what. You can have a proper dinner starting fron 30 Euro and easily go higher, but it worth till the last cent!

Not only was the service excellent but so were all the vegetarian specialties recommended. The Croatian red wine suggested by the waiter went well with the meal. Parking was right outside the restaurant and the price was reasonable. Music was a little formulaic and could have been lower for our taste but we enjoyed our evening.Thank you Anje123 for this amazing 5 star review. We are glad that you enjoy everythink. Music is like that so people can talk normaly to each other and dont hear others :) Please come to us again.

We had the large tapas to share (veg and fish) that were lovely and inventive. For main we had the steak and there was more than enough to share - brilliant steak. The local teran wine was the perfect accompaniment. The service was great, would recommend and and we will return next time we are in Fazana!

Booked in here after reading the great reviews on here. We were not disappointed the food was excellent and I am coeliac needing gluten free options which was not a problem. I had a caprese salad followed by turbot with vegetables and potatoes cooked in a paper parcel was excellent. My husband had mussels followed by the pork medallions. These were the best he had ever tasted. Complementary prosecco and lemon chello. All served by Joseph the owner. We even got to meet the adorable Dora Josephs daughter. What a fabulous evening we had. Will return next year if we have the good fortune to return to beautiful Rovinj

...I would eat Seafood Risotto at Tradizione tonight! My favorite Italian dish presented with an amazing quantity and variety of fresh seafood. Just wonderful! Very professional and helpful staff. It was a chilly evening, and our server brought us comfy blankets, much appreciated. My husband's grilled shrimp were likewise wonderful. Generous portions, dedicated service, reasonable prices. Worth the top rating!

We are a small family restaurant with a long tradition in catering. We are located in the very center of Porec. With a relaxed atmosphere and excellent prices we offer you a wide range of fish, seafood, pizzas and barbecues.

I think due to the vast amount of restaurants in porec, people like me go off these reviews and then perhaps these restaurants lose some of their appeal due to the amount of people they allow to eat at once The staff were friendly enough but the food was very average the fish soup was nothing special at all and just had a few bits of white fish in some very bland stockNo kids menu so you order off the main and they still charge you the same nearly which seems unfair for a 6 year old They had no Prosecco or GinI would defo try somewhere else as there are so many options
1. Monte

[Upfront: this is our third or fourth review of Monte, but one for each year (we have two apartments in Rovinj)]Very happy to be back at our favorite restaurant in Rovinj--Monte! We'll just summarize the latest:Service: Glad to see the service is not only great as always, but even improved since the last time. We noticed that there is always an extra person (often the owner!) standing watch at the top of the stairs--if he or she notices something amiss, they are right on it. For us, we just had some extra questions about the delicious menu and my puzzled look brought someone to our table within seconds. We're glad to see the same sommelier there--he guided us through some new local vintages and very happy to explain in depth about the wines.It is very likely the owner will stop by your table--give her honest feedback, she told us how much she appreciates it. If something's wrong, we've seen her make it right immediately.Food and wine: World-class! We almost always go with the multi-course tasting menu with the wine supplement. I've attached a picture of our menu, but will only give a quick review since it since it is different every day depending on the availability of certain meats/fish/vegetables. In general, we can say that every single time was an amazing culinary experience. Monte will surprise you with their combinations! In this case, we loved the John Dory fish mixed with local mussels and potatoes. One staple we love each time is the pulled pork: out of this world! Although the individual courses may look small to American eyes, but this is a several hour meal that would likely fill two or more normal restaurant plates in the USA. Both me and my wife never leave Monte hungry.Be aware if you get the wine supplement (particularly if you are thinking of driving), you will get about six full glasses of different wines and won't be able to operate an auto after this meal. Finally on food: while we don't necessarily like the fact that everyone at the table must order the same tasting menu (blue-seafood, red--meat and seafood), Monte makes an exception for vegetarian/vegan with a "green" menu or people with particular food allergies. We understand why: the entire evening watching the staff is much like watching a symphony orchestra--they flow through each of the courses around the room in perfect synchronicity. Even that is beautiful to watch. But if you are adamant about NOT doing the full tasting menu, there is an alternative--separate individual course ordering (four courses) is possible but somewhat difficult since the choices are so varied, i.e. it is pretty difficult to know how they will all fit together. We suggest sticking with the full tasting menu--we've never been disappointed.Ambiance:Great for a romantic dinner or special holiday (for us-- our wedding anniversary). Be prepared to walk up the hill, to its location near the St. Euphemia Church, so older guests may want to start early.Summary:A Michelin One Star Restaurant that deserves its second star soon!
