When you visit Pula, you quickly realize the city is a beautiful mix of ancient history,Mediterranean charm, and coastal life. And right in the middle of it all — next to the Cathedral of the Blessed Virgin Mary, only 20 seconds from the sea, just 3 minutes from the Forum, and 7 minutes from the Arena https://www.arenapula.hr/en/ — you’ll find Valli Trattoria.
Our location isn’t just convenient. It’s special.
A Restaurant Next to the Cathedral of the Blessed Virgin Mary
Valli Trattoria is located directly beside one of Pula’s most important historical landmarks — the Cathedral of the Blessed Virgin Mary.
This beautiful church, with roots dating back to the 5th and 6th century, is a symbol of Pula’s spiritual and architectural history. Its clean stone façade, quiet courtyard, and peaceful atmosphere create a stunning backdrop for a meal.
Guests often say it feels magical to sit in our garden and look up at the cathedral — especially at sunset when the stone walls turn golden.
A location like this is something you don’t find every day.
Only 20 Seconds From the Sea
Walk out of the restaurant, cross the small street — and you’re already by the water.
It doesn’t get any closer.
The sea breeze, the sound of the waves, and the view of boats arriving and leaving the port add a calm Mediterranean feeling to your visit. Many guests love taking a short seaside stroll before or after their meal at Valli Trattoria.
Just 3 Minutes From the Forum of Pula
Pula’s famous Forum, home to the Temple of Augustus, is only a short walk away.
This square has been the center of life in Pula for more than 2,000 years, and today it’s filled with people, cafés, culture, and live events.
For visitors spending the day in Old Town, our restaurant is perfectly positioned — you can explore the Forum and then enjoy a relaxing meal in our garden without leaving the city center.
7 Minutes From the Arena — The City’s Icon
And of course, you can’t visit Pula without seeing the Pula Arena, one of the best-preserved Roman amphitheaters in the world.
It’s only a 7-minute walk from Valli Trattoria, making us an ideal stop before or after a visit to the Arena.
