Excellent choice of steak, we had the smallest about 300grams. I had fillet with truffle sauce and roasted vegetables, my husband had ribeye, both cooked perfectly-medium . Exceptional quality, 4 stars as wine was not well chilled . We would come back.

We had lunch in La Famiglia thanks to reviews on TripAdvisor. The risotto with shrimps was delicious and vegetarian pasta seemed to be very good (my husband took pasta). It should be a choice for a lunch or dinner, if you're in Zadar.

Friendly service, pleasant atmosphere despite music playing too loudly. I ordered the risotto with roasted vegetables - more accurately, rice with chopped veggies and sauce. Given the saltiness and extreme amount of steam rising off of it, my guess is that it was frozen and reheated in a microwave. It was tasty and filling enough, but not nearly worth the steep price. If you have a microwave, check out the freezer section of your local Spar for a comparable meal at a fraction of the price. Paper napkins, always disappointing at a sit-down place. Typical tourist restaurant, probably no worse than the next. Friendly service was appreciated, and I loved being able to pay by credit card.

After a week of pizzas and pasta, we headed to Jadera on the recommendation of our sailing skipper. Great menu, quality food and service that was fun and friendly.Huge portions (I had the monkfish) so donât do as we did and order starters and mains!!! The âappetisersâ are a full course in themselves!

Oh, how I wish I had more time in Zadar to go back to Gricko Grill. It's comfortable, affordable, friendly and delicious. Hubby and I went here on a recommendation from our boat guide. After 9 hours touring the Kornati Islands we didn't exactly feel dressed for dinner out, but we felt very comfortable here the moment we arrived. it was an easy walk from the marina. Such a lovely find.

Service was slooooow even though the place was completely empty. The waitress seemed as disgruntled as I was that, as a gluten-free vegetarian, the only thing I could order was the pumpkin soup. I couldnât tell if she hated me specifically or if surly was her natural demeanor. The atmosphere looked nice, but I left dispirited.Dear Trishka-9,thank you for your review. I am so sorry to hear that your experience wasn't as expected. Please visit us again and we will make it up to you on the best way we can - entirely free of charge. Hope we meet again...Kind regards,Vladimir

My partner and I visited this restaurant as the reviews that we read lead us to believe it was wonderful. Let's just say if you do go I am sure you will like the food but if you don't go you won't be missing much.The food is good but you pay for it and we watched the waitresses pick and choose who they offered a complimentary welcome drink to...which we felt was rude to the tables that weren't offered one.Our food was nice but I wouldn't rave about it. The service was good but not great and when a couple enquired about their bill they were treated disrespectfully.You're not missing anything if you don't visit in our opinion. Dear guest,I need to tell that your review is not correct and unfortunately it is based on the fact that didn't happened.. Let's start from the beginning we Always give a glass of prosecco and finger food to our guests it's the first rule of our restaurant and the second thing you write about was the bill, it was your table not some other's because I remember you, we are very sorry that in Croatia we have 25% of taxes on our bill but that's the way it is, it's not our fault... Thank youAl Pacchero
