“ A great meal served by friendly people. Authentic Cro fare. I ate Pašticada and was excellent ! My Dad had the octopus with vegetables and loved it. I hadn't seen the owner Damir for years but he was kind enough to come over have a chat and check on us. The place is old school, genuine & honest and shouldn't that be what Stari Grad is all about. I hope it's not another 3 years before I return! ”

“ This local restaurant is clearly a Dalmatian favorite—almost every traditional dish was nearly sold out! The Pašticada was packed with rich, savory flavor, the blue cheese pasta was wonderfully creamy, and the calamari with vegetables was fantastic. A vibrant spot for authentic, delicious cuisine. ”
