“ A family-run establishment with a very friendly owner whose family connection to Lopud goes back decades. Unpretentious, a beautiful setting, excellent reasonably-priced pizzas and nice draft beer with a Greek salad in a beautiful setting at sunset. ”
“ Awesome views, right next to sandy beach. Small food menu but excellent and freshly made food, especially the fried calamari with cuttlefish ink. The Aperol Spritz is the best I have ever had, and I’m half Italian so should know. Highly recommend this restaurant and bar. Fantastic and friendly service too. ”
“ Really good pizzaplace! Almost like authentic Italian pizza. ”
“ Simply Superb 11/10 After a few days prior we stopped here for frozen margaritas we started talking to the owner who told us about the food he was preparing for later in the week. I can honestly say, it was a great idea to come back. We both had the tuna option which to summarise and not understate in the slightest, its simple ingredients cooked superbly well. The owners were very kind to make gluten free option for me as the starter was bruschetta which my partner loved and said he could eat several of. Honestly speechless and warrants a chefs kiss. ”
“ One of the best Pizzas in whole Croatia !!!!! We were with our kids out to enjoy super crunchy and delicious pizza. We will come back !!!! ”
“ We chose this restaurant during a brief stop on our day of exploring the Elaphiti Islands. The server was extremely friendly and immediately asked if we would like drinks. We only saw two food recommendations on their chalkboard menu perched on their patio (although we never asked for a food menu), so we chose the grilled calamari. The food was simple and delicious- exactly what you’d want when dining on the beautiful Adriatic seaside! The chef came out to clear our plates and asked how we liked the meal. We told him how delicious it was and mentioned the incredible sauce pairings that came with the calamari- pomodoro and a mildly spicy aioli. He told us that all of the sauces are homemade and you could sense the pride as he talked about the vision to have the flavor profile match the food. Highly recommend this restaurant if you’re looking for friendly faces, incredible views, and fresh tasty seafood! ”
