Have just eaten at this restaurant in Motovan and have to say that the food there was superb. Starters of truffle cheese and homemade tomato soup with black truffle followed by Istrian veal with veg and homemade pasta with truffle and olive oil were excellent Local wine and coffee accompanied this. Service was very efficient and the ambience delightful. One... More

What an incredible experience! Considering you cannot find truffles anywhere in the states, or if you do you will pay high dollar, you must go enjoy a most memorable meal here. We had the special cod pate with truffles, taglietelle with truffles and cream sauce, truffle steak with teran wine sauce & scrambled eggs with truffles. All absolutely delicious. Truffles... More

The absolute highlight of our trip so far. Amazing food, really attentive service in a gorgeous village. The beef carpaccio with black truffles was mouth watering, the hand made ravioli filled with 2 spinach and 2 celery raviolo with black truffle sauce was superb. The waiter was very attentive without being pushy. Really nice to get a complimentary olive tapenade... More

This is a wonderful restaurant with gorgeous views from the terrace, amazing food (Istria proscuitto, cheese, pasta, fresh salads), helpful waitstaff and a wonderful old-world vibe. This is simply a gorgeous spot with incredible food. If you're in the neighborhood, GO!

He was spot on. Epitome of rustic, authentic, slow food goodness. Beefsteak (with black truffles), beef carpaccio (with black truffles), and pasta trio (you guessed it, with black truffles) were all great. Polenta, in particular, was like "crack" ... so addicting. Had a bottle of chardonnay from Vina Pilato, which was good too ... and I don't usually like chardonnays.... More

Other reviews sent us here and we were not disappointed. The service was first class, the food exceptional and the bill tiny. A restaurant like this in the hotspots of the world would cost a small fortune if you could get in and not be half as half as beautiful. Don't tell anyone.

Great local restaurant just under the castle on the terrace road. They will delight you with truffle tastes of every kind. We had a scrumptious dinner! The best in Motovun. . Not open on Tuesdays so plan ahead. During busy season reservations are recommended.

This is like a small Paris bistro (10 tables tops) where the owner takes the time to describe what is "on offer", to welcome you and to offer you a local cordial to start your meal. The stuffed calamari was wonderful. Truffles are the regional specialty and are presented in any number of ways. The town of Motovun is spectacular... More
