Konoba Gatto Nero

Don't look at the menu, order the ravioli gamberi tartuffo. I had an excellent fresh sliced carpaccio. My son an excellent grilled steak. The gnocchi with goulash from my wife was also recommendable. Also the cocquilles st jaques grilled were spot on. But... I had the homemade ravioli with cheese filling, with a small shrimp cream sauce, generously covered in rasped Black truffle. I made a new reservation on the spot for a few days later. Need, not must have but need, to have this again during this holiday. What a dish! Nice rose as well. Only down side was that the view was gone and you had to look at a half built hotel of a few levels high instead of a nice sea view.

Delightful dinner in a lovely garden with good food and wine, topped off by attentive and friendly service staff. We had been a group of 5 with dogs without a reservation and were lucky enough to get a table. Within a short period of time the place filled up. Our waiter was polite and welcomed us professionally yet relaxed. He was knowledgeable on the menu and daily offers and worked swiftly. I informed the waiter about my food intolerances which was taken seriously, and the waiter answered my questions patiently. He assured me that whenever possible they try to make adjustments to dishes to suit someone’s dietary requirements, which is manageable as dishes are prepared from scratch. However, according to the waiter, when really busy it might not be fully possible due to limited resources and kitchen space. Our group received an entrée (“kitchen greeting”), and I had been served with a dish specially made for me (to suit my dietary requirements), which I do not take for granted and appreciate highly, as it isn’t common practice. It also happened to match my taste ideally. The mains (fish and meat) were excellent. Tasteful, well-balanced seasoning, good texture, generous portion size and high-quality ingredients. Dishes are made to order yet served within a reasonable time. The fish was served in an iron tray which looked rustic and made a nice visual impression which adds another point to the already lovely dinner. The menu offers typical local cuisine with quite a selection of choices that suit a broad variety of taste. They also serve dedicated gluten free dishes (veggie and meat based). The white truffle season has just started out and dishes with these are quite expensive but worth every penny. The prize ranges of the other dishes are according to expectation and justified given the quality of the food. Groups should definitely make a booking when visiting at main dinner times, but one can always try to get a table by walking in.

We visited this restaurant for the first time and have been positively surprised. The staff is very friendly although we were already late and this cozy restaurant is like a living room and also have a nice the terrace. They serve extraordinarily good istrian/italian cuisine. The dishes in our case, tagliatelle with truffles and Boskarin beefsteak “Gatto Nero” (black truffles and istrian prosciutto), both excellent in taste stand out in terms of quality. We also had the pleasure to meet and pet THE cat 🐱 outside the restaurant… So we will definitely revisit this place.

Great place for vegans!! Had vegan burger with vegan cheese and a beautifully fresh tasting tomato soup with homemade bread that was vegan- first place we found with bread we could eat! The waitress had a good understanding of how to ensure food was vegan and our animal eating friends loved their food and they were attentive to all their requirements. 😋😋😋
