Had a celebratory dinner at Dalmatino yesterday. I must say the food exceeded our expectation. Caterina and Liz have created an amazing atmosphere at the restaurant, perfect for a special dinner. We were greeted by friendly staff. Had ample of options on the menu to choose from. Overall a great experience. Will definitely be returning.
First time eating Croatian food - the overall meal was a bit too stodgy for my preference but the beer cheeks were amazingly tender - could eat without ever needing a knife. Everyone else seemed to enjoy what they ordered
Great friendly service. Beef cheeks were nice and tender
NOTE - this review was done when the original owner owned it. It has now been sold to some Feminists. I will leave my original review but i no longer recommend this place. This has been my favourite restaurant for a good 10 years. I love the atmosphere romantic, food Mediterranean and service. It has only recently, for the first time in its existence, changed ownership from a Croatian couple to two ladies, one Italian and the other Maltese. They have kept the interior romantic atmosphere, added extra items to the menu that, at least to me, appear like great choices. If you’re Croatian, you might be a little disappointed because it’s not what you’ve been used to, but I have embraced the new editions to the food menu, although I’d like to see more Croatian foods returned, along with the Croatian wines - After also, Dalmatino is a region of Croatia and should keep its culture. The only thing I was disappointed in was the customer service. The owner was great and experienced but the other staff lacked simple hospitality functions such as sitting us down with a menu, bringing out salt and pepper and making us wait longer than 10 minutes to ask us for drinks. But don’t let that hold you back, new ownerships come with new challenges and stability will eventually prevail, so go check this gem out for yourself and write your own review.
The food was a bit hit and miss, the staff were very nice, but the music was quite loud.
Visited last night with my partner for dinner and the whole experience met our expectations. Every order that arrived on our table was presented well and tasted great. We had three courses and each was faultless ,,,, great finish with the coffee, service was just spot on and we will definite be returning very soon. Well done guys!,
The menu has changed from Croatian to more generally Mediterranean but is very tasty from entree to dessert. The staff were friendly and attentive and we had a lovely chat with the owner Elizabeth. Will aim to go back there.
Loved it! The service was amazing, we felt very well looked after. Staff are very friendly and professional. The food is very homely, and absolutely delicious. I do wish it were warmer inside though. Regardless, I am definitely going back!
Cozy atmosphere, delicious food. We were pleased with our choices of appetizers-the charcuterie platter was delicious, as were the fresh bugs with sherry and butter sauce and fennel, grape micro salad. Our mains were well prepared with my husband enjoying his fish stew and my beef cheeks with dumplings were equally tasty. The dumplings were so light and fluffy. We really enjoyed our evening at Dalmatino and hope to return on a Wednesday for the Croatian music. Hvala Dalmatino!
After hearing about this place from our friends my wife and myself finally had a dinner here couple of weeks ago. First time but definitely not the last. Dalmatino is highly recommended by us, everything about this restaurant is special, the ambience, the stuff, food and on top of that, reasonable priced. If you love calamari, this is the place to visit, the best calamari ever. Everything else was delicious as well, pasticada, dessert... We'll be back
