Gundulić, Gundulićeva Poljana 8

Ivan Gundulić was a 17th Century poet from Dubrovnik. His work was largely themed on Slav victories over the Turks, proper blood and thunder epics apparently. In memoriam he has his own square and his own restaurant. The Dalmatian cost is heavily influenced by Italian culture and pasta dishes are on every menu. With the exception of their beautiful black risotto, the pasta isn’t up to much except at Gundulić itself. Their pasta is freshly made spaghetti and tagatelli with local seafood options and delicately executed cream, wine or tomato based sauces. Unfortunately they only do their pasta in the evening, lunch is, as always, a fish sandwich! After that head to the beach!
