Fodor's Expert Review Mondo

$$ Motovun Italian

On a narrow cobblestone street just a few yards from the town's gate, this tavern is perhaps the best place to eat in town, with a truffle-centric menu and a breezy terrace perfect for alfresco dining. The menu screams truffles—almost every dish features them: homemade pasta, steaks, and even panna cotta desserts come with shaved black truffles on top. Regulars also rave about their olive and truffle tapenade amuse-bouche. The pleasant rustic interior has roughly plastered stone walls. Being featured in the New York Times raised Mondo's profile among visitors to Motovun, but locals loved it even before.
