⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ My wife and I spent a full week dining at ROVA, and we can honestly say it was an unforgettable experience. The highlight of our time there was the outstanding service from Ivan and Davor – truly the best team! They went above and beyond every single day to make us feel welcome, cared for, and impressed. Their professionalism, warm personalities, and genuine passion for hospitality made our meals not just dinners, but memorable experiences. We were so impressed by their consistency, kindness, and attention to detail. ROVA is a wonderful restaurant, but Ivan and Davor made it exceptional. Highly recommended – thank you both for making our week so special!

Nice Spot with good food and cocktails. Compared to the common price for dinner around Krk the price is a bit higher as average. Visit recommended

Beautiful place, amazing staff, really tasty food. Cocktails were really good. My food took a bit longer to make, which was completely alright, I was enjoying the view, but the waiters made sure its alright. I hope they are paid well, because the service was perfect. A gentleman named Tomslav was our waiter, he deserves every praise. He was quick and precise, and above all really friendly and welcoming. I really hope he sees this, because he made our holiday much better. Over all, the calamari was perfect, the lemon cake was the best i've ever had. If you are looking for a nice place to drink or eat.

We had dinner twice there and had two different experince. The first night was perfect with a kind waiter, and the grillplate for two was amazing! We booked one more night for dinner and we were disappointed. I had to wait almost one hour for the grilled squid, and they messed up my order first. The squid was burnt and chewy. I was not able to cut with knife and it was very hard to bite. It was tasteless...:(

If you visit this restaurant once, you won't want to look for another one, because this one is the best.. from the staff, to the drinks, to the amazing food.. I had the best steak in a very long time, 4 dinners in a row and if you have dinner there and want to repeat it, I recommend you make a table reservation, we also did that, because people were waiting there for a seat to become available.
