Hebrangova 34.
Gallo sits in the courtyard of the Castellum building on Hebrangova 34, Zagreb. You do not see it from the street. Since 2002, the kitchen has rolled pasta by hand every morning, sourced fish from the Adriatic, and kept a wine cellar with 85 labels. Italian technique, Croatian ingredients, one address for 23 years.
Pasta rolled by hand, every day.
Fuži, tagliatelle, pappardelle, agnolotti: all made in the kitchen before service. No packet, no shortcut.
Fish from the Adriatic, not from a box.
Škarpina, brancin, orada. Dalmatian gregada at 125 €/kg. The fish determines the menu, not the other way around.
The kitchen is open. You see it when you sit down.
The pass is visible from the sala. That transparency is deliberate: nothing happens out of sight.
A courtyard you find only if you know.
The entrance is through the Castellum arch on Hebrangova. The terrace opens in summer. The brick sala holds the room in winter.
Eighty-five wine labels across eleven categories.
Seventeen by the glass. Croatian producers from Pelješac and Istria alongside French Champagne and Italian reds. Built to support the food.
Gallo con mlinci: the dish the house is named for.
Rooster slow-cooked and served with mlinci, traditional Croatian dried pasta sheets. At 35 €, it is the most honest plate on the menu.
