The story

Alla Beccaccia in Pula: Istrian Game, Boškarin Beef and a 2026 Michelin Bib Gourmand

Alla Beccaccia is a classic Istrian restaurant at ul. Pineta 25 in Valbandon, a residential area near Pula in Croatia. It holds a 2026 Michelin Bib Gourmand for good-quality, good-value cooking. The kitchen is built around game and meat, with traditional Istrian dishes alongside.

Game, meat and Istrian pasta

Meat dominates the menu, from wild boar spare ribs and rabbit roulade to slow-cooked Istrian ox neck. Boškarin, the native Istrian cattle breed, appears in several dishes, including liver with purple cabbage and tangerine. Istrian fuži come with a thick Boškarin ragout, and pasta with white truffles is on the menu too.

Cellar, bread and the people behind it

Annamaria Kolić is the head cook and co-owner, and Ivor Kolić runs the wine list as sommelier and co-owner. The house wine is a Franc Arman cuvée of merlot, teran and cabernet sauvignon. Gault&Millau awarded the restaurant 13.5 in 2026. Homemade gluten-free bread is available alongside the regular loaf.

A house among the olive trees

The dining room sits in a separate house beside the lawn, with olive trees nearby. Inside, an open fireplace and rustic décor give it the feel of a hunting lodge. Guests can also stay at the B&B in the same courtyard and book a dinner package there.
