Italian, Zagreb

This is one of two low price restaurants in Zagreb with outdoor seating in the warm season. Since we didn't find an outdoor table in next door Nokturno restaurant, we ended up here in the Leonardo for our small VT meet in September 2012.

They serve a wide range of dishes like pizza, pasta, meat, fish etc.

I opted for a chicken filet with gorgonzola sauce and green noodles. When the dish came it wasn't very hot anymore as it obviously had to wait for the pizzas the others ordered which I heard were yummy. The chicken filet with the gorgonzola sauce cost 39 Kuna and the side dish of green noodles 10 Kuna. The prirodna limunada wasn't up to standard but had the standard price of 15 Kuna. The black tea was actually a Earl Grey one and cost 10 Kuna.

All in all a pleasant place for a meal and I would return anytime.

Nokturno offers a wide range of Italian dishes from pizza to pasta. It seems to be popular among both locals and tourists. Even VT members are said to be seen here.

The food is delicious and surprisingly cheap for the central location of the place. Nokturno has a nice little outdoor terrace facing the pedestrianised cobbled alleyway Skalinska.

Tablecloths of checked red and white (like traditional trattorias in Italy) combine brillantly with a wine list and extensive menu to make yours great experience. A prime date location just off the centre square.
open 09:00-23:00, Sat 12:00-23:00, Sun closed

Its a great Italian reatsurant for pizzas and pasta. Situated in the old part of the city, in a small rustical house, with two rooms (smoking and non-smoking), great ambient and one of the best pizzas in city, if now the best. The make it in the old brick owens like it is supposed to be made.

Favorite Dish: Pizza Dvojka

It seams that restaurant is new, but cooks are not, they do know their job well. The food was very delicious. Restaurant is near Student Hostel Stjepan Radic and is available to many young tourists who are staying in a hostel at summer.

Favorite Dish: I've become addicted to pizza oliva. Great pizza dough, the perfect ingredients, perfect meal after which you can drink a glass of excellent Croatian red wine . All prices are on their website.

Food is art at this beautiful, unpretentious restaurant behind the facade of an unremarkable building a few blocks from the city center. Homemade pasta in countless shapes and a rainbow of colors dries behind glass near the restaurant entrance. The kitchen, too, is visible behind glass, so diners can watch the chef work his magic. Even the extensive wine cellar is artfully displayed in a corner of the house. The menu is mostly fish with several interesting recipes such as tuna with polenta and red-wine sauce, or beef soup with ravioli. There is a stylish white stone terrace, a cozy casual dining room, and more formal space where crystal and silver set the tone. The waitstaff is congenial and knowledgeable about both the food preparations and complementary wines.

Boban is a basement restaurant near the main square. We've been here twice on our winter visit to Zagreb because we really enjoyed the food here. In summer we immediately went back and forced the local VTers to have our VT dinner here!

They serve Italian food here, mainly meat and pasta. If you are looking for pizza this is not your place, there's no pizza on the menu. The pasta, however, is gorgeous - very big portions, very fancy combinations and very delicious. Prices are very reasonable and the English speaking staff is friendly. I'm already looking forward to coming back here on my next visit to Zagreb.

Upstairs from the restaurant there's a nice bar which is called Boban, too.

Favorite Dish: My favourite dish in 2005 and 2007 was Penne Mamma Rosa (yes, I am boring ;). Thomas enjoyed his Gnocchi Mari e Monti so much, he ordered the same dish three times already. The Crostino I had for starters was gorgeous as well.
