Honest Hospitality in the Heart of Premantura since 1969

Valentino has been part of the Premantura community since 1969. Originally operating as a café, it evolved into a restaurant around twenty years ago. Now, as the next generation gradually takes on more responsibility, we are proud to keep the family business alive, providing the quality food and hospitality that our guests have come to expect over the decades.

Fresh, Local Ingredients and Classic Mediterranean Food

At Restaurant Valentino, we are especially proud of our fish and meat dishes. Each one captures the true essence of Istrian culinary heritage. We believe that good food brings people together, and we put our heart and soul into every dish we serve.

Catch of the Day from the Adriatic Sea

When it comes to our seafood, we keep things entirely local. Our fish is sourced directly from the Adriatic Sea by local Pula fisheries. This ensures that what arrives on your plate is as fresh and authentic as possible. We prepare our seafood simply and traditionally, allowing the natural quality of the local produce to shine through.
