Located in Mlinovi, on the northern edge of the city, Papavero has a spacious interior, a large terrace surrounded by greenery and a completely different ambience from a typical city pizzeria. The approach is also different. It is a restaurant that builds its gastronomic story around top-quality pizza, but pays equal attention to handmade pasta dishes, various appetizers, salads, seasonal soups, burgers and desserts. As run by his wife and husband, a Slavonian woman and an Italian, their concept is based on a combination of what they know best - original Italian ingredients and culinary techniques with seasonal Croatian products. The menu includes traditional Italian pizzas, large formats intended for sharing, modern pizzas such as Pasqualina and panuozza (Neapolitan sandwich made of pizza dough). Prices range from 10 to 16 euros. The appetizers are typically Italian-Mediterranean (Tomato Soup, Stambolice Napolitano, Crunchy Croto, Gnocco Croto, Fritto Italiano), just like the main courses - tagliatelle bolognese, spaghetti carbonara and lasagna bolognese. Each dish can be adapted to the guest's taste, so ingredients such as burrata, mortadella, prosciutto, pesto or vegetables can be added to pizza, while French fries, baked or mashed potatoes, seasonal vegetables and salads are offered with main courses. The dessert offer is short: from tiramisù and panna cotta with fruit coulis to cheesecake and chocolate brownie with vanilla ice cream. And it is rounded off by cocktails such as Aperol Spritz, Hugo Spritz, Amalfi Coast and Mimosa.
