  • 1. Giannino

    $$

    Tucked away on a small square in a residential area of the Old Town, Giannino is equally popular among locals and tourists for its fresh and delicious Mediterranean fare such as pan-fried squid with polenta, spicy boiled Adriatic shrimp, branzino al forno (baked slowly in the oven), cuttlefish ravioli, grilled rib eye with roasted potatoes, and tagliatelle with lobster. Starched white and blue checkered tablecloths make the place look classy, but the atmosphere is convivial and relaxed with friendly staff. Established in 1972, the large restaurant is modern, except for a gallery-seating area rustically decorated with a vaulted brick ceiling, but most opt for a spot outdoors on the large patio. To find it, at the beginning of Carera Ulica, Rovinj’s main street, turn right—opposite where all the crowds will be heading.

  • 2. Pizzeria Da Sergio

    $

    With 50-plus varieties of delicious thin-crust pizzas, there's plenty to choose from at this conveniently located venue along the narrow road leading up to the main cathedral. Pizzas are all baked in a wood-burning oven and are so good locals come from all over Istria to get them. Inside it's pleasantly cool, even on a hot day. The interior spreads out over two floors, but try to get a table downstairs, where wooden tables and benches give it the feel of an old Italian tavern and the atmosphere is more vibrant.

  • 4. Restaurant Zigante

    $$

    This family-run restaurant/truffle shop is 3 km (2 miles) from Motovun and is not simply a gift shop filled with truffles, truffle products, olive oil, and wine (as with other branches in Motovun and Buzet). Here in their renovated villa, you can sit down for a delicious meal of gilthead carpaccio with white truffles (gilthead being a type of sea bream) or thin palačinke (crepes) filled with white-chocolate mousse and finely shaved black truffles. This place is warm, elegant, and modern, with wrought-iron streetlamp-style lights, stone walls, and wooden beams overhead. They even have cozy rooms to rent.
