Lively Dalmatian-Italian spot with wood-fired pizzas, grills, and seafood; good value outside Old Town but service speed and occasional attitude issues divide diners.
Movi delivers reliable neighborhood dining with strong food quality in wood-fired pizzas and risottos, plus excellent value compared to Old Town. However, quality varies noticeably across dishes and visits, and service pacing remains inconsistent, preventing grade A-level performance. Best suited for casual meals where charm and affordability matter more than polish.
A neighborhood spot near Firule beach where the wood oven glows and patio vines set a casual scene. Service swings from warm to distracted, but many guests praise the food, noting chewy wood‑fired crusts and Dalmatian comfort. One diner summed it up: "Cheapest meal I had in Split, still delicious." The cooking leans classic Dalmatian-Italian rather than flashy—think shrimp risotto, brodetto with polenta, and grills, plus soft, char-kissed pizzas. When the kitchen is on, seafood shines and portions satisfy; steaks and some pastas draw mixed notes. It is best for relaxed meals where value and neighborhood charm matter more than polish. Families do well here thanks to kid-friendly pizzas and pastas, fries, and simple salads. No formal kids menu appears, but Margherita, quattro formaggi, and lasagne are safe bets. If little ones are sensitive to heat or mosquitoes, opt for covered seating inside or the shaded patio.
