Good food but worth paying the ‘premium’ for a great night time view of the harbour More

La Puntulina will always impress with its wonderful location and views which make for a "memorable" meal for this reason alone. Dined here shortly after proposing to my girlfriend (who said yes!) and a few glasses of wine so i'm sure if the food had been poor it wouldn't have mattered, but the food was good without being amazing. Good... More

We were a group of six in mid-September on an incredibly blue skies/blue water day in Rovinj. None of us were the least disappointed by La Puntulina. The views of the Adriatic, the nearby island and the rock/beach formations below the restaurant's terrace, are superb. Photo ops galore until the food is served. A great selection of fish and seafood... More

My wife and I looked for Puntulina during our one night stay at Rovinj on recommendation by our hotel. We occupied a terrace seat facing the ocean at sunset and the view was fantastic. The food was excellent too although some people may consider it pricey but I felt it's just right for an establishment of its class. Our visit... More

We ate here 2 nights in a row in early October. We hadn't planned it that way, but the first night was so good, we didn't think we could do better so we went for a 2nd night. We were not disappointed. The food was excellent. The views over the Adriatic are spectacular. And the service was terrific. There is... More

I've reviewed hotels before but this is my first restaurant review. I just had to jump in after reading the recent reviews. Our two dinners there in mid-September were fabulous (yes, two dinners....it was so good the first night, we returned again). Even without reservations, we were seated at ocean-view tables on the terrace. Our servers on both nights were... More

Beautiful location with outside tables looking out to sea. Having had a huge grilled fish selection at Santa Croce the night before, we decided to go for lobster linguine (fine, but not very flavoursome) and a fillet of fish with a white sauce. The latter was a bad choice, but it looked disgusting and was inedible. The waiter took it... More

You cannot beat this view. And since all croatian wine seems to be excellent, this is a perfect combo. But watch out for a scam by the waiters. Pre dinner drinks were not included on the printed bill but he requested cash payment. Also would not accept Visa until we said we did not have cash. Once that was sorted... More

Great setting on balcony overlooking the sea and the islands (there is also seating in the open air with great views and also inside(without). Great staff - seem like family run. Food was disappointing though.I had their recommended antipasti selection.Something and nothing.Seemed like cheap ingredients. We had fish and pasta that were very average. Great view and staff but maybe... More
