Gault&Millau's review 2026

Casa Nova is a charming osteria tucked away in the heart of Dorćol. With a cheerful but intimate interior, it provides a corner for a pleasant break from the hustle and bustle of the city with delicious snacks and good wine. Although the menu is firmly based on Italian cuisine, the chef enriches it with imaginative interpretations of classic dishes. To begin with, goose liver is distinguished. Round slices of fine liver are served on breadcrumbs of the same shape, with onion jam and a few pine nuts. This small bite brings a nice contrast of textures and flavors, the rich note of liver is accompanied by the slight sweetness of the onion, while the bread and pine nuts add extra crunch. A particularly interesting dish is the so-called Painter's Chapels. In four natural colors, obtained from vegetables and herbs, stuffed with ricotta and spinach and topped with butter sauce with sage, they look almost like a small culinary picture. Quite simply, this dish is Claude Monnet on a plate, so we conclude that the chef is clearly in love with bright colors and impressionism. The pasta is cooked impeccably al dente, which gives the dish additional elegance. Finally, don't miss the bassoonini di mele, tender pancake pads filled with caramelized apple, pine nuts and raisins. With a scoop of ice cream and caramel topping, the dessert evokes the most beautiful, almost childish memories.
