The restaurant Dalmacija is located on the Cavtat promenade and always seemed to be very busy when we passed by. We decided to look at the menu and were immediately... read more approached by a female member of staff who cajoled us into entering the restaurant. There was a very large group of diners sitting together which should have set alarm bells ringing regarding service being stretched. We had to await a considerable amount of time before our order was taken, which gave us time to look at Trip Advisor reviews. A number of reviews mentioned additional charges for bread a tuna pate which they had not asked for. An elderly waiter arrived at our table and placed 3 lots of bread and tuna pate in front of us, we politely declined the bread and tuna which was removed quickly . Whilst waiting on our meals to arrive a very animated discussion broke out between a designated representative of the large dining party and 2 of the waiters. Our food arrived and it was very disappointing, a dry and unappetising tagliatelle, a lasagne that had been overcooked in a microwave and the worse risotto I have ever tasted. The rice used in the risotto was not Arborio rice, the prawns in the risotto were cold, in summary the dish could best be described as a savoury rice pudding topped with a kipper! Service was efficient, the staff were brisk and not very engaging, most of their time was taken up trying to placate the large dining party. We did not visit the Dalmacija again during our stay in Cavtat, it might have been an off night for the restaurant but there were plenty of other places to chose from.
