  • 1. Bookeria

    $$

    Inventive Mediterranean food is served in an eye-catching, whimsically decorated garden dropped right on the stone square. You may not be seated on the sea but you'll feel the vibrant holiday vibe flowing from the minute you arrive. Grab some pancakes and pancetta for breakfast; at lunch order one of the popular burgers, from veggie to fish to the beef tartufi (black truffle), all paired with a San Servolo pale ale. For dinner, try any of their fresh fish or seafood specialties, like the shared seafood platter with grilled tuna steaks, whole oven-roasted branzino, and pan-fried squid.

  • 2. Pizzeria Rumore

    $$

    Rumore, which means "noise" in Italian, is both lauded and popular. The terrace offers outstanding views of Rabac and the Kvarner Bay. Neapolitan-style pizzas are made in a gold-glazed brick oven made by Stefano Ferrara Forni in Naples. High-quality ingredients and strict adherance to Napolitana dough preparation—using only Maestro Santucci flour and letting the dough rest for 30 hours before baking—ensures you walk away ready to tell everyone you know to come for the pizza. There are six traditional Neapolitan pizzas and six gourmet pizzas that contain traditional Istrian ingredients such as truffles or prosciutto. If pizza is not your thing, try the burgers, salads, or skip right to cannoli and cappucinos.

  • 4. Vecchio Mulino

    $$

    The Old Mill pizzeria may look touristy—it is, after all, centrally located right by the harbor, and it is packed—but it's also good, and the raised terrace gives you the feeling of being a bit above the fray. This is the best place in town for pizza, spaghetti, salads, čevapčići (grilled Balkan sausages) and tiramisu.

    This casual, upbeat eatery in Old Town Plomin, just 12 km (8 miles) north of Labin, is worth a stop for a decadent burger, Asian stir-fry, spicy wings, steaming plate of pasta, or cheesy pizza. Better yet, order one of the many craft beers or sample a delicious homemade dessert (or three). Before or after your meal you can wander through the sleepy ruin of a town and marvel at its stunning views of Plomin Fjord below.

    Located on a quiet street a couple of blocks' walk above the Forum, this is Pula's premier place for casual, budget-friendly Italian fare.

It's ideal for families and large groups, with ample indoor and outdoor space.

  • 7. 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.

  • 9. Trattoria Vodnjanka

    $$

    One of the few restaurants in downtown Pula offering honest and authentic Croatian dishes, no-frills Vodnjanka is a short walk from the farmers’ market. You'll find many chefs and restaurateurs in Istria make their way here for lunch before heading to their own restaurants. Lunch is the best time to enjoy its flavorful, unpretentious home-cooked dishes—a truly local experience that brings back the forgotten flavors of old times. Depending on the season, dishes may include homemade gnocchi, meatballs, cod in tomato sauce, roasted veal, dandelion with hard-boiled eggs, grilled sardines—the dishes Istrian grannies make.
