Agli Amici Rovinj

Agli Amici

Rovinj (HR)

The Istrian home of the Scarello family

The restaurant led by chef Emanuele Scarello brings the Michelin-starred cuisine of Agli Amici from Godia to Rovinj, to offer its guests a unique and unforgettable gastronomic experience.

Officially opened on June 22, 2021, and awarded its first Michelin star in less than 3 months. Among the reasons for the recognition, it was praised for “never taking anything for granted and always looking for new ideas to enhance the best ingredients of the region.”

Agli Amici Rovinj is born out of a close partnership with the Maistra Hospitality Group (which, with Maistra Collection, owns three 5-star hotels in the city of Rovinj alone) and is located in the beautiful space between the Grand Park Hotel Rovinj and the Marina. It boasts a scenic terrace directly overlooking the sea.

In June 2024 the Michelin Guide awarded the restaurant its Second Michelin Star, currently the only one in all of Croatia.

Emanuele Scarello has approached the cuisine in Rovinj following the same guidelines that have always characterized his philosophy.

At the core of the gastronomic offer is a respect for the territory and its producers. The chef, along with his long-time creative team, has selected a range of small-scale cultivators, artisans, farmers, and fishermen who can provide him with the best of local production, while also prioritizing economic and environmental sustainability. In Rovinj, there is no à la carte menu, but instead, two tasting menus, each dedicated to a stage of the journey of Agli Amici, from Godia to Istria, and finally to Rovinj. These are the names of the menus through which Emanuele Scarello and deputy chef Simone De Lucca tell the story of the Istrian region, and its finest products, as well as the reality of Rovinj.
