Mietta's Review
A pitched pine ceiling hovers over unpolished timber floors, wall lined with pressed metal, dark bentwood chairs and dark metal edged tables set with good cutlery and glassware. Within this rather smart space T-shirted waiters ply their trade. The service is good. The food has some Dalmation (Croatian) dishes along with more Italian and 'Mediterranean' items. It is well done and very professional in its consitency. Prices are very reasonable (mains mid $20s) and there's a bargain priced three course Croatian menu, with choices, for $35.

Herald Sun Dining Out Stephen Downes 18/10/05 score 14/20 "As time goes by, Dalmatino will be introducing even more Croatian A tucker of a rustic, domestic nature. And it's bound to be good and tasty. Moreover, you'll eat it in a quite stylish, warm ambience. The wine list is limited, interesting and very well-priced. It's complemented by a handful of Croatian wines. The one we tried excellent."
