We loved this place so much! We tried the Quattro Formaggi and Funghi pizzas, along with the grilled chicken—all absolutely delicious. The pizzas were huge, full of flavor, and beautifully made. The staff were warm and welcoming, and the atmosphere was relaxing and inviting. A lovely dining experience!

This is the very first time I write a review on the spot, simply because it is the best restaurant I have in Zagreb. Away from the busy tourist area, this restaurant is located on a quiet street with nice ambiance and decorated walls. The food is absolutely delicious. The staff is very attentive and polite. We ordered a few dishes to share and try, and she split the orders in two separate plates and bowls as she served. We truly enjoyed our dinner at this friendly restaurant

Last night our dinner was at this place, Canzone, the real Italian place. Our food was delicious, especially the bruschetta was a gem. We also had chicken fillets, spaghetti aglio olio, spaghetti Bolognese and spaghetti carbonara. Everything was tasty. And the prices are very affordable. The staff is fast and friendly. If we go back to Zagreb we'll definitely visit again.

We came here on a busy Friday night and it was packed full. We did not have a reservation however, after a few minutes, the busy waitress finally noticed us and told us to hang tight, she would find a table for us which she did! And it was well worth it. The food was fantastic. We have eaten in many trattorias around the world and this was one of the best! The drinks also were awesome and the service was really great. We could not have had a better time.

The food took took awhile to come and it was really packed so I’d recommend you to early or reserve in advance. But it served the closest Italian food I could ever find in Croatia I highly recommend I’d definitely go back The owner even gave me a free tiramisu for the inconvenience This was the best Italian restaurant in Zagreb!!!!
