Barba Danilo
Barba Danilo is a charming, family-run restaurant, famous for combining modern styles of preparation with traditional Mediterranean cuisine. The accent is placed on serving fresh, local seafood and meat in well balanced, beautifully presented and yummy portions. This place isn’t just about the quality of ingredients; it’s about the quality of ideas. Since the restaurant has only 45 seats, including those on an open terrace, you will have to make your reservations in advance. The ambience is warm and inviting and the staff members are very friendly and helpful in describing lush flavor combinations, or recommending wines. Every single dish, from appetizer to dessert, simply creates a firework in the mouth. It is a bit on the pricey side, but totally worth it!

Tutto Bene
Tutto Bene is a restaurant located in De Amicis Street, one of the more crowded Rovinj tourist zones. Apart from the premium location, what really makes this place stand out in the rich Istrian gastronomy scene are the slight twists added to the traditional Mediterranean cuisine.
Of course, Croatian dishes, homemade pasta, olives, seafood and local wines are in focus. But the clever cooks found a solution to wrap the strong sea flavors into seductive bites and make them even more appealing to those with refined taste buttons.
