The story

Pizzeria 9 bofora in Punat, Krk | Coastal Italian & Island Flavors

Maritime origins and setting

Pizzeria 9 bofora in Punat, Krk, anchors its coastal Italian cooking right beside Croatia’s oldest marina. Opened in 1985, this waterfront bistro has undergone several renovations while preserving its original glazed spaces. The Košljun islet remains visible from every seat along the quay. A Gault&Millau rating of 11.5 reflects the consistent standard that has kept visiting sailors anchored here for decades.

Island recipes and wood-fired pizza

The kitchen blends straightforward pizza craftsmanship with traditional Italian cooking methods. Bruschetta arrives layered with boiled cod, smoked sardines, and a bitter orange cream. Grilled lamb chops appear alongside house-made boškarin burgers dressed with simple vegetable sides and fried onion chips. The menu features over ten wood-fired pies, headlined by the MP 1964 which layers smoked anchovies with fresh mozzarella and sun-dried tomatoes.

Regional wines and year-round service

Diners receive bottles of pressed olive oil drawn directly from groves surrounding the marina basin. The cellar focuses exclusively on Croatian vintages poured by the glass. Međimurje producer David Štampar shares shelf space with Korčula labels from Bire, Zure, and Volarević. Reasonable pricing structures maintain accessibility across all course selections while supporting the region’s Croatian-Italian kitchen standards.
