Pljukanci Oli Mare – handmade Istrian pasta with prawns and truffles

Pljukanci are hand-rolled Istrian pasta, prepared for generations according to traditional recipes. Their slightly irregular shape and firm texture are ideal for rich sauces – which is exactly why they absorb the creamy sauce of truffle, olive oil and prawns so well.

For Pljukanci Oli Mare we use fresh Adriatic prawns and truffles from the forests of Motovun. The pasta is finished briefly in the sauce to keep its bite, and freshly grated truffle is added at the very end, giving the dish its unmistakable aroma.

This is more than a specialty – it is a story about Istria, its forests, its sea and a tradition passed from generation to generation. The price is €25.00, and the dish is equally popular with local guests and visitors discovering Istrian cuisine for the first time.

We recommend pairing it with Istrian Malvazija or Teran, depending on whether you prefer freshness or more structure alongside truffle. Our waiters are happy to suggest wines from small Istrian producers.

If you are looking for a restaurant in Poreč that combines handmade pasta, Istrian truffles and fresh seafood, Oli Mare Fish & Wine at Bože Milanovića 25 is the place for that dinner.
