Our story

Every plant has its own story, and rosemary is not just a spice, but a symbol. A symbol of strength, health and longevity. In the very tradition of the Mediterranean, rosemary is known as a plant that keeps the secrets of the old world, from the very beginnings of cooking and medicinal properties to rituals and customs. Rosemary is believed to bring luck and prosperity, and at Pizzeria Ruzmarin we believe that this plant is the perfect metaphor for our restaurant.
Our story begins in the small, picturesque municipality of Tar-Vabriga, where we decided to open a restaurant that would not only offer good food, but would tell the story of Mediterranean tradition, taste and hospitality. Like rosemary, which grows in the stone gardens of Istria, our restaurant was created with love for tradition, nature and simplicity.
Rosemary, known for its strong taste and aroma, is the perfect symbol of our cuisine - simple, yet rich in flavor. Like the plant, each of our meals carries within itself strength and authenticity, following in the footsteps of past generations and their traditional recipes, but with a modern touch. Rosemary is used in many dishes, from soups to roasts, as it gives character and emphasizes natural flavors. In the same way, our restaurant strives to provide delicious, unforgettable food that leaves a mark on all the senses.
That's why Pizzeria Ružmarin is a place where every bite is a journey through history, culture and nature. We are proud of our mission: to bring Mediterranean flavors to every dish, using the highest quality local ingredients and, of course, capturing a little of the magic that rosemary brings with it.
Join us and let our restaurant guide you through the world of Istrian flavors, where rosemary is not just a spice, but also a symbol of everything we do - with love, care and longevity in every bite.
