About
If there is any doubt that Amfora is one of the best restaurants on the Opatija Riviera, there is no question that it has the most spectacular setting. Perched on a hill in the picturesque fishing village of Volosko a little more than a mile from Opatija's main drag, Amfora's ambience and menu are good enough to hold up anywhere in the world. After you order, you'll be served a complimentary taste of marinated and grilled sardella and shrimp or some other tasty amuse bouche. Try the savory black risotto done to creamy perfection and full of tender pieces of squid -- it's an Adriatic specialty. The lobster tails are huge and attractively presented with melon, and salads are large and made with pristinely fresh ingredients. Service is exceptional. Parking is free, though timid drivers might want to park on the road above the restaurant and walk down instead of attempting the steep turns to the parking lot.
