Gradska 23, 21220 Trogir

+38521796413

Calebotta occupies a house in Trogir's old town whose story reaches back to 1920, when Frane Calebotta built it and opened a cinema. His descendants' restaurant keeps that family name while offering three different dining settings: an interior facing the wine bar, a garden enclosed by old architecture and a front area connected to the life of the town. Dalmatian ingredients shape the food, with homemade pasta, fish and grilled meat forming the centre of the menu. A seafood starter plate combines tuna tartare, octopus carpaccio, marinated sea bass and prawns. For a smaller beginning, there is seared goat's cheese with prosciutto, honey and rosemary, or zucchini carpaccio with goat's cheese and pine nuts. Main dishes give each diner a distinct direction. Choose lamb pašticada with homemade gnocchi, tuna with aromatic polenta, or white fish in lemon sauce. Mussels in buzara sauce and grilled squid bring familiar coastal flavours, while fuži with mushrooms and dried tomatoes offer a meat-free pasta option. A fish platter for two is another choice for a shared table. Calebotta also publishes a breakfast menu, from poached eggs with bacon to yoghurt, granola and berry sauce. Children have pasta Bolognese or grilled chicken with fries, and the dessert selection includes cheesecake and crumble. The address is Gradska 23; reserve directly if you have a preferred dining area, and confirm which meal service is running at your planned arrival time.

Matije Gubca 14, 21220 Trogir

+385977055560

Casa Don Dino brings a contemporary Dalmatian kitchen to Matije Gubca in central Trogir. Seafood, seasonal produce, olive oil and regional herbs are the main threads of its cooking. The restaurant publishes separate brunch, lunch and à la carte menus, so it is worth choosing the service that suits the kind of meal you have in mind. The evening menu starts with recognisable local flavours: soparnik, the chard-filled Dalmatian pie, homemade focaccia and salted or marinated anchovies. Raw and cold dishes take a more elaborate direction, including tuna tartare with avocado and toasted almonds, white-fish ceviche with citrus, and oysters with lemon and pickled onion. These provide several alternatives for a light opening course. Among the signature dishes, Don Dino risotto combines sea urchin, Adriatic prawns, Pag cheese and pistachio. Octopus peka is offered for two with young potatoes and zucchini, while sea bass baked in a salt crust is another shared preparation. Guests who prefer meat can choose beef skewers, lamb or chicken with romesco; vegetarian dishes include roasted cauliflower with hummus and eggplant parmigiana. The variety makes this a useful choice when a group wants a planned dinner with different preferences around the same table. Reservations are available through the restaurant's website, with a direct telephone and email contact for discussing a particular dish or occasion. Ask about the day's availability and the appropriate menu when booking, especially if a shared fish or peka dish is central to your visit.

+38552560395

Pizzeria Grimani stands at Svetvinčenat 71, near the town's central square and Morosini-Grimani Castle. Its menu centres on pizza, with both smaller and regular sizes and a broad choice of toppings. The house Grimani starts with tomato, cheese and oregano, then lets guests choose the remaining ingredients. This gives it a different role from the fixed combinations elsewhere on the menu: it is a starting point for building a pizza to suit an individual appetite. Regional ingredients appear in the Domaća, which combines sausage and ombolo with olives, and the Istriana with prosciutto and olives. Napoletana uses salted sardines and capers, while the tuna version pairs tuna with olives.

The wine list stays close to home too, with labels from the Aosta Valley and Piedmont. In winter the chalet sits in deep snow and is reached on skis during the day. For dinner a snowcat picks guests up and brings them back down again, which turns an evening meal into a small expedition. In summer it is a walk across green pastures.

Run by the Comola family's company, it works as two places in one. At lunchtime it is a self-service with quick dishes, hot sandwiches and Aosta Valley plates for skiers and hikers; in the evening it becomes a restaurant with regional cooking, and on Saturdays in season a high-altitude dinner with a snowcat ride up after the lifts have closed.

Via Indipendenza 58, 73024 Maglie

+390836424712

Mon Closed; Tue–Sun 19:00–00:00

La Cascina began in Maglie in 1986 and remains centered on thin, crisp pizza.

The result is a pizzeria with enough variety for a table whose guests want different kinds of meal. Its address is Via Indipendenza, where table service is offered in an indoor dining room and, during summer, an outdoor garden. Pizza sits alongside a grill section, burgers, salads and pucce, the local style of filled bread.

This service requires advance booking and is available only to guests eating at the tables. Anyone arranging such a meal should make that requirement part of the reservation.

+390836503955

The dining setting follows the same considered approach, with subdued lighting, generous seating and a limited number of covers. Mentasti's working life has taken him through different parts of Italy, including Lombardy, Liguria, the Aosta Valley and Sardinia. After those experiences, he settled in Salento in 2018.

Konoba Dominik is a Croatian tavern on Obala kralja Tomislava in Kaštel Novi, run by hosts Dominik and Nina. Its character comes from a historic interior arranged with attention to the building's older atmosphere, together with a terrace on the first floor. The cooking follows the same balance: familiar regional dishes remain at the centre, with modern touches in their preparation and presentation. Ingredients are obtained mainly from local farmers, fishermen and regional suppliers. The kitchen keeps its selection focused on homemade specialties rather than an extensive catalogue of dishes. Starters include Dalmatian cured ham, cheeses from the island of Pag and octopus salad, alongside other salads. For a main course, the choices described by the house include marinated beef steak and roasted pork ribs. Fish comes from the fish market in Kaštela, connecting the seafood selection to the local catch. One of the tavern's particular specialties is meat or seafood prepared in the traditional peka style.

Local wines and beers accompany the cooking, with international wines and selected beers available as well. The selection can change with the season, when the kitchen may offer a smaller menu or dishes of the day. Guests who want a table on the upstairs terrace are asked to reserve by telephone in advance. The combination of a small menu, regional ingredients and a carefully preserved setting gives the tavern a clear focus on Croatian cooking.

The waterfront setting makes it a natural place to combine a meal with time along the coast. The menu offers several ways into that regional cooking.

Grilled sea bass and sea bream sit alongside squid and shellfish. For two diners who want to share, the Intrada fish platter brings together several fish and seafood preparations on one order. Pizza is also a substantial part of the choice, with small, large and jumbo formats. Toppings range from the straightforward tomato, cheese and oregano combination to anchovies, mixed vegetables and the house salmon-and-prawn version.

For a more deliberate group meal, ask in advance about peka: the menu lists veal, lamb, octopus and stuffed squid cooked beneath the covered baking bell, in portions for four. Reservations can be arranged directly by phone. Published opening hours extend later from Friday to Sunday, making it worth confirming your preferred dining time when booking.

Mon Closed; Tue–Sun 16:00–23:00

Konoba Pece brings together a handmade stone setting and a seafood kitchen in Vinjerac, a fishing village on the Velebit Channel. The restaurant grew from its owner's ambition to create a tavern of his own after traveling and exploring different food cultures. Working with his wife, he collected and carved stone and built the restaurant himself. That personal involvement continues in the kitchen, where local fishermen supply catches that shape the cooking. Dalmatian ingredients provide the foundation, while Spanish food encountered during the chef's travels contributes another strand to the menu. Cold starters include Vinjerac prosciutto, Pag cheese, octopus salad, fish pâté and several preparations of carpaccio. Warm dishes move through cuttlefish black risotto, seafood spaghetti and fisherman's stew, alongside shrimp with mustard seed sauce or chickpeas. The main courses give considerable space to shellfish, squid and octopus. Mussels and scampi come in buzara preparations, while octopus can be grilled or stuffed with prosciutto and cheese. Other combinations include squid filled with cheese, cuttlefish with pancetta and cheese, and shrimp grilled with honey. John Dory, red scorpionfish and anglerfish also appear among the fish dishes. A fisherman's platter is offered for two people. Desserts take a different direction, with grilled figs, apricot wrapped in pastry dough and other pastry selections. Guests can choose between the tavern interior and its stone terrace. Reservations can be requested through a form, with confirmation sent by email, or discussed directly by telephone.

Frazione Biosio 1, 23822 Bellano

+390341821362

Crotto di Biosio sits on the hillside above Bellano, where terraces open towards Lake Como and the surrounding mountains. Indoors, rooms with fireplaces give the restaurant a welcoming setting in cooler weather. Behind them is the natural grotto used as a pantry, a reminder of the traditional purpose of a crotto. The establishment grew from a local meeting place and walkers' stop into the family restaurant it is today. The kitchen draws on the nearby valleys, using cured meats, cheeses and seasonal produce alongside fish and meat dishes. A mixed starter features salumi from Marco d'Oggiono with sweet-and-sour vegetables. Homemade grape-and-walnut bread is paired with natural blue cheese and honey from Biosio, while local cheeses can be ordered with preserves or honey. First courses include pumpkin-and-Taleggio crêpes, fresh egg pasta with sausage ragù and layered pasta with salmon trout, courgette and lake-fish roe. Heartier choices bring lamb cutlets with courgette and mint, grilled sausage with polenta, and skewers served with polenta. A cheese-rich polenta preparation and vegetable sides give companions further options without relying on the same meat dishes. House desserts and wines by the glass allow the meal to end simply or continue at a slower pace. The location suits a meal planned around a visit to the hillside, with the outdoor terraces particularly attractive in suitable weather. Contact the restaurant to reserve and check the current menu and opening days, then use the Biosio address when arranging your route up from Bellano.

Mon–Sun 12:00–00:00

Paklenička ulica 1, 23244 Starigrad-Paklenica

+385981910973

Restaurant Paklenica – Dinko is a family restaurant in Starigrad-Paklenica whose hospitality tradition began in 1965. Local squid and shrimp are central to its identity, and its position on the approach to Paklenica connects the dining room with the area's climbing community. Climbers and other visitors interested in the mountains have long formed part of its clientele. Dinko himself adds a personal connection to that setting, sharing stories about the place, its seafood and the national park. A climbing collection is another distinctive part of the restaurant's story. The surrounding town brings together two different landscapes: the Adriatic shoreline and the steep country of Velebit. Starigrad is a gathering place for walkers, climbers and visitors exploring the nearby canyons, so a meal here can fit naturally into a day spent between the coast and the mountains. The restaurant's own introduction keeps the emphasis on its family history and seafood rather than an elaborate account of individual dishes. Squid and shrimp are therefore the clearest starting points for guests interested in its established specialties. Larger groups need to reserve ahead, allowing the family to prepare for their arrival. Parking is available near the restaurant, and payment can be made in cash or by credit card. German, Italian and English are among the languages spoken. The family also provides accommodation in a separate building nearby, extending the hospitality business beyond the restaurant itself. Restaurant inquiries have their own telephone number and email contact, separate from inquiries about rooms.

+38552846638

Konoba Krculi is a country restaurant in the village of Krculi near Žminj, with a history that the family traces to 1969. Its beginnings were tied to selling produce grown in the family's fields to people in coastal towns. Those contacts brought visitors inland to eat and spend time in the village. The original small tavern had a fireplace; the business later developed into a much larger venue while keeping traditional Istrian food and folklore at the centre of its identity. Today it can accommodate up to three hundred people and organises weddings, anniversaries, birthdays and other celebrations. Lunches and dinners for groups are arranged in advance. The menu follows old recipes from central Istria. Prosciutto and sheep's or cow's cheese introduce a selection that includes Istrian minestrone with corn, potatoes and beans. Pasta takes several forms: potato gnocchi with veal or venison sauce, fuži with chicken goulash, and makaruni with prosciutto and mushrooms. Cooked cabbage, beef medallions in mushroom sauce and roast veal, pork or lamb provide other choices. Grilled sausages and beef are also offered. Fritule, the small sweet fried dough pieces, appear among the house specialties. Drinks include wine and traditional brandies, with plain grappa, mistletoe brandy and a honey version mentioned as welcomes. Music and folklore are part of the restaurant's account of its hospitality. Guest parking is available, and the contact details allow visitors to discuss their group's meal and occasion with the restaurant beforehand.

Le Repère is a small restaurant on route de la Maurienne in Bourgneuf, opened in November 2023. The kitchen follows a traditional French brasserie approach, with food made in house and an emphasis on nearby producers.

The owners describe their aim as serving generous food they enjoy cooking and giving the people already at the table time to enjoy themselves. That preference for a manageable room carries through to the setting: there is an indoor dining space and outdoor seating for meals in suitable weather. The restaurant can also be booked privately for birthdays, baptisms and other gatherings. Anyone organizing a group meal is asked to contact the team directly to discuss the event. The tourism office confirms private hire, lunch and dinner service, and evening entertainment as parts of the restaurant's activity.

+390341810317

The restaurant is set in the town's old silk-mill complex on Via Carlo Alberto, making it a natural place to pause for lunch or dinner while exploring Bellano. Handmade pizzoccheri are the kitchen's signature, prepared to a longstanding family recipe. Sciatt, the crisp buckwheat fritters with a Casera cheese centre, and a Valtellina starter with bresaola introduce the mountain side of the menu.

Don Frane Bege 2, 21214 Kaštel Kambelovac

+38521220208

Baletna Škola sits among pine trees a few metres from the sea in Kaštel Kambelovac. The name remembers a distinctive part of the site's history: prima ballerina Ana Roje founded an international ballet school here in 1953. Today the restaurant pairs that coastal setting with a broad menu rooted in Dalmatian and Mediterranean cooking. Seafood choices include grilled fish, squid, prawns and mussels prepared in buzara sauce. Two diners can share a grilled seafood platter with fish, scampi, squid and chard, or choose the fried platter of prawns, squid and small fish. These are helpful options when you want a shared meal with several textures instead of choosing a single fish dish. The grill menu is equally substantial, covering lamb, chicken, steaks, ćevapi and stuffed pljeskavica. There are named meat platters for two, alongside dishes such as chicken in gorgonzola sauce with gnocchi. Pizza provides another route through the menu: simple tomato and cheese, vegetable toppings, prawns and more generous combinations are available, including jumbo sizes. Families have a separate children's selection with smaller ćevapi portions, chicken schnitzel and familiar pasta dishes. For something more traditional, ask what is being prepared for the day's marenda; the menu lists cooked lunch dishes such as beans, stews and pašticada. Peka appears among the special preparations, so discuss availability when reserving. Desserts include rožata, pancakes and cakes, giving a mixed group plenty of choice from the first course to the last.
