The atmosphere is lovely, friendly and home-like. The food menu is different every day so today we had the beef stew and the Leek soup with sausages.

“ If you can try only one place in Zagreb, make sure it’s Pithos! Tasted like comfort food and while the place can be a bit small, you can see the attention the owners and staff put into making it a high quality restaurant. Not to mention the good prices as well. I think menu changes every day too. I didn’t get the Croatian name of the dish but I tried the fish stew (local!) ”

“ Great homemade food. It's a small menu and it rotates on a regular basis. Can't remember the exact name of the dishes we had but we had a vegetable stew with sausage; the stew has a nice amount of vegetables and the sausage was cooked perfectly and tasted so good! The other dish we had was homemade gnocchi with beef; this was also super flavorful. Really appreciated how everything was homemade. Save room for dessert because its also a must try, not too sweet. ”
