Pastarella

absolutely amazing food! really good service and very fancy atmosphere, great wine list and would highly recommend to tourists visiting duress. sea bass ceviche had to be a standout for me!!

We ate here for Christmas dinner. Overlooking the Adriatic sea! Full decorations for Christmas and the food was amazing. The home-made pasta was perfect!

Really good meal, highly recommend. Prices were incredible. Service was incredible. Lovely decor. The toast was tasty with the cheese, we liked it a lot. Octopus, salad and fried fish were nice, as were the desserts. We never had chance to try more things from the menu, wish we had

An unforgettable dining experience at Pastarella! We had dinner here tonight and it was truly amazing. The food was top-notch—especially the grilled squid, which was fresh, tender, and flavorful. It was perfectly cooked and beautifully presented—easily one of the best seafood dishes I’ve ever had. A big thank you to our waiter, Clyde, who was incredibly kind, professional, and attentive. He took the time to explain the menu, make great recommendations, and make sure we had everything we needed with a smile. His service made the experience even better. I highly recommend this place if you’re in Durrës—come for the food, stay for the view, and leave impressed by the service. We’ll definitely be back!

I went to Durres for day trip. Being an Adriatic sea city, I definitely must have seafood. This restaurant is named fish restaurant, so I supposed is professional. Indeed it's good quality fresh fish & well cooked. I had the recommended best & most expensive fish, wild Gilt head, Lek7500/kg. The restaurant is 5-star atmosphere, service is standard.

The view of the boardwalk is superb! The atmosphere is inviting and... The food is delicious. If you're a tourist, note this is a fish-first restaurant that serves fish, with pasta, you won't find many of your "regular" pasta dishes here, but there are some. If you like seafood pasta, this is your spot! 🐟 🥧 The pasta is just the right level of al dente. The sauce was a great consistency and taste! The fish was super fresh. The servers were great. Everyone who came to our table knew at least some English and was very kind answering questions, explaining dishes we hadn't tried before. Two small concerns we had: Food came out at different times for different table members (starters / mains). We'd planned on sharing some dishes to try so this made it a bit awkward. Communicating allergies - they did great, no epi pen required, but it took some work to get there. But for an overall experience, we'd highly recommend it.

Even though we arrived before the official opening time (which, by the way, is different on Google than in reality), we were warmly welcomed and seated at probably the best table in the place – with a beautiful view of the sea. We were immediately served water and a small appetizer, and within minutes came the fried seafood – possibly the best I’ve ever had in my life. Truly fantastic flavor, freshness, and preparation. The other two dishes – risotto and black tagliatelle – were also excellent, well-seasoned, and beautifully presented. We’re sending 5 stars to the restaurant and thank the team for a truly pleasant experience. Amazing food, lovely setting, and kind staff – highly recommended!

Great restaurant on 3rd floor with private elevator from the street. Delicious house red wine, pasta, salad, etc. The view is the best part - open breezy windows to look out at the promenade and sea - reserve for sunset to see pink clouds ☁️ and be sure to dress up a bit!
