Great food and wine. We have eaten in quite a few restaurants in Croatia and this was the best meal we've had. I had the grilled calamari and my husband had the seafood risotto. Also great service. Highly recommend. We will be back again before we leave. Meecha served us. He was fabulous. Excellent, I should say. Made us feel comfortable and welcome. Food was top-notch and very fresh. It’s in a small side street on a slight incline. Out of the way of foot traffic, but direct view of the Main Street for people watching. We were looking for a gluten-free restaurant and found high reviews for this establishment. Milan was our waiter and spoke perfect English and was extremely helpful. Their gluten-free pizza was some of the best pizza I’ve ever had, gluten-free or not. The service and food were excellent. Milan even brought out the package of gluten-free flour that they make their pasta and pizza crust from so we could find it at home. I highly recommend this restaurant for anyone looking for gluten-free meals.

🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Absolutely Fantastic Experience at Costello! We had the pleasure of dining at Costello Restaurant in the heart of Old Town Dubrovnik, and it was truly unforgettable. From the moment we arrived, the service was warm, welcoming, and attentive—the staff made us feel right at home, offering excellent recommendations and checking in at just the right moments. The food was outstanding—fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. Every dish we tried was cooked to perfection, and the pairing with local Croatian wines elevated the whole experience. You can tell the team here really cares about quality and hospitality. The ambiance is charming, the location is unbeatable, and the vibe is relaxed but refined. Whether you’re looking for a leisurely lunch or a romantic evening, Costello delivers on all fronts. Highly recommend to anyone visiting Dubrovnik. We’ll definitely be back!

We stopped for a lovely meal, quiet table, relaxed service and very friendly team. There were a lot more vegetarian options than most places nearby, we had the 4 cheese lasagne (veggie) and a black risotto for the meat/fish eater. Would recommend.
