Rovinj, Croatia; Calisona Longo Lucia Restaurant, Vegetarian Pizza

552210 Rovinj-Rovigno, Croatia, Trg na mostu 4 – Piazza del Ponte 4, tel. 00385 – 52 – 815 313

Overall Restaurant Rating: 4.25 / 5 stars: 
A very pleasant pizza lunch in Rovinj.   
 
Atmosphere Rating: 4.5 / 5 stars:  We sat on the patio under a canopy and two huge wooden patio umbrellas on a lovely plaza in the Portofino-like town of Rovinj, Croatia.  What more could anyone ask for?

Service Rating: 3.5 / 5 stars:  Very laid back in a good way.  In no way harsh or aggressive as some servers have been in Pula.  We stood and waited abit before they cleared some tables and sat us.  Then once we ordered, a group of 6 Italians came and the waited asked if we could move from our larger table of 4 to another further back and we obliged.

I asked for tap water and they brought me those itsy bitsy glass bottle waters.  I returned it and asked for a cappuccino instead and they were fine with that. Until what arrived was essentially espresso in those tiny espresso cups with a drop of milk.  So I asked for more hot milk (I can’t take strong stuff).  They had no problem bringing that over.
   
Value Rating: 4.5/ 5 stars:  I think in Canadian dollars, so the 45 Kuna or (/5.5) $8 a pizza (we shared because we overate the night before when we ordered one each), a 15 Kuna ($2.80 green salad with a few slices of tomatoes and onions), a 15 Kuna ( $2.80 coke), and a 8 Kuna Capacino ($1.30) and a total bill of 81 Kuna ($16) for two, what  a bargain!    

Main Rating, Vegetarian Pizza, 4.25 / 5 stars:  Excellent pizza.  The Vegetarian Pizza had zucchini, abit of red peppers, abit of mushrooms, great crust, made in an authentic wood burning
