Konoba Dolina

Istrian cuisine is a bit off the beaten track. It's not hard to find, but it's hard not to sample what it offers. If you step foot into this tavern, you'll be welcomed in a friendly, family-like manner. The staff will help you choose the right dish from the menu. Every dish will be delicious, truly satisfying your hunger and satisfying your expectations. It's a very pleasant place, worth visiting if you're in the area. This is the kind of experience you're looking for when you want to experience local cuisine.

It’s a good idea to call ahead and reserve a table before you arrive. The food is excellent! The menu isn’t very large, but I honestly think you can’t go wrong with anything you choose. I was especially impressed by their sausages – absolutely delicious! All the dishes are mildly seasoned, which makes the flavors just perfect. The only big downside is that they don’t accept card payments, so make sure to bring cash.

Konoba Dolina is a hidden treasure for anyone who appreciates honest, traditional food made with love. Set in a peaceful, rustic location, it’s the perfect place to escape the crowds and enjoy the heart of Istrian hospitality. The menu is based on seasonal, local ingredients. Everything tastes fresh and homemade, just like grandma used to make. The staff are incredibly welcoming, you really feel like a guest, not just a customer. At the end of the meal they will offer you some local digestif, such as teranino or home made rakija travarica (great one!). The setting is cozy and down-to-earth, with beautiful countryside views. If you're looking for a real, down-to-earth Istrian konoba with soul, Dolina is absolutely worth the trip.

Amazing lunch! Perfect setting and delicious food and wine. Pasta with truffles, ravioli with pork and a great minestrone soup (more like a lentil soup).

Great experience! Food was fantastic, the staff full of understanding and patience for kiddo. Local cat was nearby chilling and adding to the atmosphere of authentic local setting. Couldn’t have been a nicer day.

Very, very friendly, great staff. The food was delicious. Great location. It was simply fantastic! Thank you so much!

A real family-run business with delicious and autentic Istrian food, atmosphere, top service and pleasant house wine. I really recommend it! 👍

2.65 ⭐️ After a nearby wine tasting, I found this place and was mind blown by how high the rating was in contrast to the number of reviews, which is always a good sign. So we put it to the test. In short: tremendous disappointment. Starting with prosciutto, cheese, and wine, which were decent, along with the truffle steak. No complaints there. The “star” of the show was definitely gnocchi, both with venison and goulash. It seems like a small amount of soup splashed into gnocchi. Just look at the photos. Embarrassing and unacceptable, especially outside of the tourist season. We informed our server about it, but she said that is how it is. To make it up for that, they offered free spirits and small deserts bites on the house, which was nice of them. All in all, go for the meats, but the competition around is so good you are better off going somewhere else.
