We were looking for something different after having done traditional Austrian meals for several…read moredays. We saw that Istra offered grill seafood and decided to try. Istra is actually a Croatian restaurant, and they specialize in seasonal grilled seafood and truffle pasta. There is no standard menu - more a choice of 1, 2 or 3 course meal. The star is their fish platter which consisted of grilled fish, grilled calamari and shrimps, over a head of mixed root vegetables. The owners don't speak a lot of English but they were very hospitable. I highly recommend reading through their websites before going so you know what to expect. Now the food. Spectacular is the only word that came to mind. First time we just had the fish platter for 2 and shared between 3 people. A luxurious platter with 2 perfectly pan-fried fish, 2 shrimps in shell and 2 grilled baby calamari on a bed of carrots, squash, zucchini and mushrooms magically turned up at the table. The seasoning is basic but perfect. A complementary basket of bread also came with the meal and house white wine paired very well with the seafood fair. It was so good we went back for lunch again the next day. This time we also ordered their truffle pasta. The white truffle on the pasta was epic - appetizer size was obly €18!! I dare say the same size with black truffle in NY would have put us back at around 30 bucks and nowhere as much truffle that was on the plate. Highly recommend this place if you ever go to Salzburg and wanted something other than the standard Austrian fare.

Absolutely delicious !…read more Traveling from California, it's unusual to see schnitzel on every menu. Istra seafood restaurant was a refuge from all the meat-oriented restaurants during my week trip in Austria. Started with a tuna carpaccio topped with light olive oil, sea salt and fresh ground pepper. Main dish was a fresh white fish grilled to perfection with a side of savory veggies to pair. Meal paired perfectly with Austrian table wine which was recommended by the waiter. Absolutely delicious, wonderful waiter and happy I took my hotels' recommendation to eat at Istra.

You would think a restaurant inside Mozart's birth house would be super touristy and cheesy…read more However, this restaurant featured innovative and delicious cuisine that ended up being up one of our favorite meals in Salzburg! Instead of catering to tourists with clichés of Austrian cuisine, this uses elements of Austrian cuisine and other cuisines (French, Italian) to create novel, memorable dishes. - Chestnut cream and bacon soup. This was the most memorable part of our meal! The flavor is a novel blend of both sweet and savory, and the combination of textures in this soup is fun -- light froth, creaminess, the crunchiness of croutons, the chewiness of bacon. This is a dish I will remember for years. - Fried salmon. It's really more grilled than fried. The salmon is solid and well-complimented by the saffron cream sauce and the beets. The presentation and mix of colors is also beautiful. - Truffle risotto with steak. The risotto has a good consistency, and the steak lends such rich flavor, and was cooked perfectly. Additionally, the atmosphere is hip and modern and overlooks the old town. The salt and pepper combination shaker caught our attention and you can actually buy it at the front! Anyways, I highly recommend this restaurant, especially after exploring Mozart's home!

The food is on the finer end of the Salzburger restaurant scene. Amazing pork, tasty lake trout, and the mushroom cream soup was handled with a deft, light touch. The coconut pudding with raspberry purée had only the barest hint of sweetness, which was perfect to end the meal. The chocolate mousse was nicely presented and tasty. Wine suggestions were knowledgeable and reasonable.

I love to go there for breakfast and sit on the glass terrace during the summer. The also offer snacks ( go for the prosciutto cultzini = house sandwich), coffee, lunch and dinner. The menu changes every day which makes it a unique place. The cuisine is delicious and the food is always fresh. Make sure to reserve a table in the evening and plan enough time because there is only one person in the kitchen. My tip: try the soup of the day and then go for the cult salad or the chicken. If you are still hungry and you have to try the lemon tart! Heaven on earth :)

Also got charged for something i didnt order- couldnt care at that point and just wanted to move on with life. Paid cash just so i wouldnt have to worry about additional charges later on- wanted it to all be over with. Wonder how these places stay in business with such service.

I got there early and without a reservation and was seated without issue. I ordered the white noodles with truffles and lobster as my main, and the blueberry souffle with ice cream for dessert. The first thing that came out was some sort of appetizer. I have no idea what it was but it was good. It had slices of meat covered in a white sauce. The noodles were good, but I wish there was more lobster and less truffles. The blueberry souffle was bigger than I expected and it's quite heavy. Another table ordered the Panna Cotta and that looked more appetizing and light. Service was great. Very friendly and checked up on me the right amount.

I can tell you that Sto bene is the real deal!!! But first, we had to try the bruschetta with their homemade pesto sauce. Ah-mazing! Probably the best I've had. We also tried their red wine by the glass, and it was very, very good. When the carbonara came out, I couldn't wait to dig in. The crispy bits of bacon were tasty and the dish was seasoned perfectly. All in all, a fantastic meal. The only downside, no air conditioning and their pizza oven heats up the entire restaurant, not it's worth it!!!

The food was just spot on, along with friendly service. They took the time to explain the menu and didn't rush you along. The 1st - 2 evenings we just stuck with the pizza's and loved them all. On our last night we had pasta and pizza. Again just amazing. The crust, the sauce just perfect. I'd highly recommend anyone looking for good Italian food that tastes good and is filling to come try this place out. The prices are quite reasonable compared to many restaurants that offer this type of food or atmosphere.
