Taverna Pupo

Incredible place! Food is so good, would highly recommend the lamb dish, black queen cake is amazing, a mix of chocolate and orange. The service is fantastic by Ivan I believe was his name. Your not rushed, you can enjoy your meal in your own time, no hassle, but the waiter will be there if needed.

This was our second visit here. We ordered traditional food, gnocchi and Pasticada, it was absolutely delicious. The atmosphere and excellent service makes this place really special. Our waiter Fran was friendly, attentive, and made us feel very welcome. Highly recommend!

We had such a great evening at Taverna Pupo in Dubrovnik. It’s a cozy little spot, perfect for a romantic dinner. My wife and I shared homemade gnocchi and seafood pasta — both were fresh, flavorful, and honestly some of the best we had on our trip. What really made the night special was our waiter, Jacob. He was kind, attentive, and helped create such a relaxed, romantic atmosphere without ever being over the top. Just a genuinely great experience all around

Well located restaurant in a very hot, stuffy little side street. Friendly staff but not really that helpful. We had Pasticada, which should have been soft and tender (cooked for 18hrs apparently)! But, it was tough as old boots. Their solution was to give me a sharper knife! Great sauce though. Just wish they'd cared a bit more.

The food is soooo delicious and the atmosphere is great. There might have been a small mistake with the drink order, but it’s totally fine because the service was excellent. Definitely a place you should visit!

The food of this place seams to be very average for the price, but worst than that the portion was incredibly small like if it was a kids meal that was worth the price of two complete meals in a more conventional place. I would not return. Nevertheless, the service was okay, although a little rude. It was fine, and they helped me refill my water bottle. The ambiance, tho is pretty nice, very romantic... trade-off? Hopefully, you'll have better luck than I did if you come.

One of the best food i had so far in Dubrovnik! I had the swordfish and my friend had the Pasticada. The service was amazing, Jacob did a great job helping us choose our food and pair them with the right wine. He made sure we had a good experience, didnt rush and enjoyed our setting. We will definitely come back!

We decided to try Pupo as my son and I were walking through the Old Town. Our server was friendly and attentive enough. The Sauvignon blank (only one on the wine list by the glass) was outstanding. I had the catch of the day which was sea bass (yesss!) and my son had the lobster tagliatelle. Best sea bass I’ve had in a long time. The Swiss chard and eggplant accompaniments made the dish. My son’s pasta was very good but he did have to deal with the lobster in the shell which made it a messy meal. In a pasta, the lobster should be shelled for you. Bread was free but we had to ask for it. We sat in the alley seating so it was nice and quiet with a nice breeze. Overall I give it a 4.4 out of 5. Would recommend!
