1. Pizzeria Rumore
$ | |At this popular and highly lauded pizzeria, Neapolitan-style pizzas are made in a gold-glazed brick oven made by Stefano Ferrara Forni in Naples. High-quality ingredients and strict adherence to Napolitana dough preparation—using only Maestro Santucci flour and letting the dough rest for 30 hours before baking—ensure you walk away ready to tell everyone you know about this pizza. There are six traditional Neapolitan pizzas and six gourmet pizzas that contain traditional Istrian ingredients such as truffles or prosciutto. If pizza is not your thing, try the burgers or salads or skip right to cannoli and cappuccinos. The terrace offers outstanding views of Rabac and Kvarner Bay.

2. Street Food Two
$ | |This fast food shack offers some of the most mouthwatering food in Pula, from modern takes on Istrian favorites to vegan plates of international flavors not easily found in the city. The small menu changes often, but you may enjoy a vegan poke bowl, chicken burritos, shrimp risotto, gluten-free panko tofu, and endless delicious sandwiches, pasta, stews, and smoothies. There are only four tables outside and four tiny tables inside so seats fill up fast, and they regularly sell out of items on the high-class street food menu. It's open until 10 pm in summer, but it's best to come for an early lunch to get a table. Takeaway also works well, and you can order by phone.

7. Farabuto
$ | |In residential Pula, far from tourist attractions, Farabuto has a short menu of fresh and tasty seafood and just a few meat and vegetarian dishes, all based on what's available from Pula’s green and fish markets. The modern and innovative cuisine is well presented in Farabuto's small cozy interior or on the terrace. Service is friendly but can be slow when the restaurant gets crowded in summer. Regulars rave about the selection of cold seafood crudo. Other selections include homemade ravioli with Adriatic scampi, seafood risotto, and local fish like monkfish, branzino, tuna, and shark.
