Bistro Pizzeria Vesna

Encouraged by the wishes of loyal customers and guests, we decided to make our products even more available by opening a bistro-pizzeria in Loborika where you can enjoy a handful of delicious homemade dishes made according to Vesna’s traditional recipe, the ingredients of which are our cheeses, dairy products and oil.

Quality and tradition

Our bistro-pizzeria opened its doors precisely in Loborika, our home, in the immediate vicinity of the cheese. Wanting to introduce loyal customers, but also all lovers of cheese and dairy products, to the versatility of our products, we decided to make traditional Istrian dishes using only them.

Our dishes, like our other products, are characterized by top quality and unforgettable flavors, and we are sure that everyone will find something for themselves in the wide variety of offers. Try handmade traditional Istrian pasta, various risottos, seafood and meat dishes or our widely known pizzas, which you can refine with one of our extra virgin olive oils.

Vesna's recipe

The uniqueness of our offer consists in the fact that we have successfully combined traditional Istrian dishes with our top quality products – cheeses, dairy products and olive oil – and carefully selected ingredients. We are happy to bring you just a fraction of what awaits you in our bistro-pizzeria, and we hope that you will try your hand at making one or all of the specialties of Vesna’s kitchen listed below.
