Fodor's Expert Review Damir e Ornella

Tucked away on a quiet side street, this superb (and pricey) little family-run establishment is a secret wonder you may want to share only with your fellow gourmands who appreciate raw-fish specialties. You can also enjoy grilled seafood and gnocchi, although you don't go here for a simple plate of pasta, but instead to indulge in a four-course meal. Indeed, it may be the one restaurant in Istria where fish—the fresh catch of the day, that is—is brought to the table this way and served with such care. The service is elegant and friendly. There's no set menu; rather the owners tell you what's available for the day, and the owners' daughter, who is always on hand, speaks English.
