Absolute hidden gem in Hvar. I did not expect this quality of food and service. I would recommend the seabass, the pizza and the Croatian white wine.

What an incredible experience!! Not just a great meal. 200 wines available by the glass. Ivan and Sabina were so great showing us many different wines and providing information and history as we sipped. Thin crust pizza that rivals anything from Italy. Can’t say enough good things about this place.

We had an amazing dining experience at Le Specialita Hvar ( ex Passarola)From the delicious starters and perfectly prepared main courses to the exquisite desserts, everything was outstanding. We especially enjoyed the carefully selected recommendations from the exceptionally friendly and charming sommelier, Sabina, who made our evening even more memorable. The restaurant is beautifully designed, with a fantastic atmosphere that combines elegance and comfort. The service was professional, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. Every dish was flavorful, beautifully presented, and prepared with great care. A truly wonderful experience from start to finish – highly recommended, and we will definitely be back!

Me and my wife came from Brazil just to have the wine tasting with Sabina in Passarola/Le Specialità restaurant, in Hvar. Sabina is not only a Master of Wine (a very difficult thing to achive!), but a incredible person! This was by far the best wine tasting experience my wife and I have ever had. As wine enthusiasts, we have attended numerous tastings across North America, South America, Europe, and Africa, and this experience truly stood out from all the others. Not only were the wines exceptional, but the tasting was also incredibly educational. We learned a great deal about Croatia’s wine history, local producers, and the country’s unique indigenous grape varieties. The passion, knowledge, and storytelling made every wine even more memorable. If you are interested in Croatian wines and want an authentic, enriching experience, we cannot recommend this tasting highly enough.

If you’re ever in Hvar and lucky enough to meet Sabina from Slovenia, prepare to have everything you know about wine challenged. A trained sommelier from Le Cordon Bleu, Sabina casually demonstrated how to open a live yeast champagne underwater like it was a completely normal Tuesday activity. The rest of us were busy trying not to lose a finger. Her wine knowledge is world-class, her technique is flawless, and her taste buds are apparently operating on their own software version. While the rest of us were sweating over spicy food, Sabina calmly informed us that she “doesn’t feel spicy.” Not that she avoids spice—she literally doesn’t register it. Scientists should probably study her. Come for the wine expertise, stay for the underwater champagne lessons and the fascinating realization that some humans are simply built differently. 10/10. Would trust Sabina with champagne, wine pairings, and possibly surviving an apocalypse.

Outstanding Rooftop Restaurant Fantastic romantic rooftop restaurant with outstanding food and wines. Ask for Sabina for her incredible wine knowledge ( over 200 bottles and wines by the glass ) . Ask for her wine glasses by Josephinenhütte if you love red wine !! Ivan is an incredible and friendly host -he will look after you !

Fish and seafood amazing We ordered fish in salt, fish of the day. It was large so 4 of us shared, and ordered tuna carpaccio as side and seafood pasta. Amazing food, and wine. Great selection of wines in Le Specialita. Would recommend this place for everyone. One minute walk from the main square (church).

A truly memorable experience Pasarola left us with a truly beautiful impression. From the moment we arrived, we felt very welcome, and the food was excellent from start to finish. What made the biggest impression, however, was Sabina—kind, warm-hearted, and attentive. She made sure throughout our visit that we felt relaxed and at home, with a smile and genuine energy. It’s people like her who make you want to come back again with pleasure.

Excelent food and great atmosphere One of the most beautiful culinary experiences on Hvar. Excellent food, pleasant atmosphere and truly top-notch service. I would especially like to praise Sabina, who with her professionalism, warmth and sense of hospitality made the evening even more special for our partners from Indonesia and the Netherlands. Such energy is really not something that comes for granted these days. We will be happy to return.
