Cicibela food and wine bar (SPLIT) — Restaurant in Grad Split

A very cute restaurant ! In a small alley. There is a split sailor love story on the menu, and there are many cute paintings in the shop. There are 4 tables indoors, where you can see the chef cooking fresh food. There are 5 tables outdoors, and it is also very comfortable to sit outdoors. The black risotto is delicious, the rice is delicious, but it is a little salty, and there is a little sweet sauce on the rice, which can neutralize the sweet sauce and saltiness very well. There is seafood in the rice, and the rice is large, enough for two girls. Shell seafood pasta, with shellfish on top and short and thick handmade pasta on the bottom. The shrimp of the day is a little not fresh, but everything else is delicious. Seasonal salad is melon seed salad recently, the sauce is sweet and sour, and the vegetables are very fresh and delicious! It would be better if there is less sauce! Drinks are especially recommended! ! ! Pan's lemon beer is super super super delicious! ! ! The degree is very low, and people who can't drink can also drink it. It feels like lemon soda. I strongly recommend it and must buy it! ! ! Handmade lemon tea is also very delicious! There was too much jam in the handmade strawberry tea, which was a bit sweet. If you don't like sweet food, don't order it. Service: Excellent, every waiter was friendly, enthusiastic, responsible, and added points to this meal! In short, it was a very delicious and happy experience. I highly recommend it and it deserves a 4.9 rating...

If I could rate this restaurant, the food and the staff 10 stars, I absolutely would.

Karla was our server and she was absolutely fantastic! She took the very best of care of us! Her recommendations of wine for paring with the meals were perfect as well.

My wife and I attended June 14th 2025 for our 5 year wedding anniversary dinner and we had the Pasticada and the Buzara. After our dinner, we ordered the Black Risotto, even thought we were so pleased from dinner, we just HAD to also try it as our other meals were so fantastic. All food are traditional Croatian foods and are from what we can tell PERFECTLY done!

My only regret is, we didn't find the this restaurant on our first night in Split. Highly recommend!!! You will likely need need a reservation, as this place delivers amazing service, food and kindness.

It's a corner space with a few tables off the pathway, which is super cute and fun. Very relaxing and great vibes in the surrounding area.

Prices are very fair, with very good amounts of food/beverages. Our bill was very fair. This restaurant is clearly more concerned about making sure you are happy and have...

was looking forward to try based on the review but overall the food was unfortunately too heavy and over salted. Ordered traditional Pasticada and it too heavy. was craving truffle pasta Earth and wind (homemade pasta with prosciutto and truffle in creamy white sauce) but it was extremely salty and heavy. I could not eat more than a few bites. Way too heavy especially after having amazing truffle pasta all over Italy and europe. Disappointed since this was my first not great meal in croatia

Edit: I barely ate 1/3 of the pašticada if even and could only tolerate a few bites of the pljukanci. I asked to go because I try not to waste food but ended up throwing away the food once I got to my apartment.

I paid for the meal despite barely touching the food because I know that’s the risk you take when trying a new place.

Accusing a guest of trying to get a free meal instead of listening to feedback is unprofessional.

Your food was simply not good, and the truffle pasta was especially disappointing. After two bad dishes and cold service, I couldn’t wait to leave. I rarely write reviews, but this experience made...
