A Theater of Tastes
Nestled in the heart of Split's historic Old Town, Bajamonti Pizza Steak & Fish House invites guests to experience a culinary symphony that marries the rustic charm of a 19th‑century theatre with contemporary gastronomy. From the moment you step onto Prokurative Square, the aroma of wood‑fired dough, sizzling steaks, and fresh seafood greets you, setting the stage for an unforgettable dining adventure. Every corner of the restaurant echoes with the legacy of Antonio Bajamonti, whose vision of a grand cultural hub inspired the modern incarnation of this iconic location.
The ambience blends antique furnishings with contemporary lighting, creating a setting that feels both timeless and vibrant, encouraging guests to linger over plates that showcase seasonal ingredients sourced from local farms and the Adriatic Sea. The menu is an artistic collage of 13 wood‑fired pizza creations, each crafted with premium cheeses, heirloom tomatoes, and locally sourced cured meats that melt into a harmonious flavor profile. The steakhouse section boasts dry‑aged selections like the legendary T‑bone, Tomahawk, and Wagyu A5 Striploin, each cut marinated to perfection and grilled to a medium‑rare tenderness that sings of the island’s rich terroir. Our fish division redefines Mediterranean cuisine, offering dishes such as a savory sea bass stew, sous‑vide octopus tentacles, and a fragrant grilled sea bass al forno, all prepared with techniques that honor traditional family recipes while adding modern flair. Each plate is served with an accompaniment of artisanal sides like truffle‑infused potatoes or saffron risotto, ensuring a complete experience that delights all senses.
