Truly a unique cultural experience. We were welcomed into Alberta’s private residence. The home features many artifacts from the past and her grandfather’s art work. Alberta is extremely knowledgeable about Croatian food and culture. Our meal was outstanding. A traditional appetizer followed by a main course that brought together many influences on Croatian cooking. We enjoyed ravioli combined with a goulash-type meat sauce. A delicious combination that I will definitely try to recreate at home. We also enjoyed a fully-loaded salad with very fresh ingredients and a lovely dressing. Dessert was a flan-type brûlée soaked in a rum sauce and poppy-seed cake which reminded me of a cake my mother used to make.
Grappa…How can I forget the grappa? Several home-made variations and also Croatian wine. If you want a non-typical cultural experience, this is a really great option. Enjoy!!

Our evening with Albertina was a wonderful authentic Croatian dinner experience just off the beaten path from downtown Split. She was the sweetest hostess ever - serving a multi course meal which consisted of mild Croatian cheeses served in olive oil with capers, sliced boiled eggs in oil topped with anchovies, a fish hummus and home baked sourdough bread. Albertina went way out of her way for the main course serving black squid risotto, considered a local ethnic delicacy, and side salad. We were hosted in her century’s old family home where her great-great grandfather’s drawing of Croatia drawn on the wall was still located in the dining room. (My granddaughter loved that part as she fancies herself an artist as well.) The evening concluded with “fresh out of the oven” cherry lemon strudel pie. Her home reminded me of my Croatian upbringing in the States. It was a sweet time for all.
