Discover a family-owned gem in the heart of Murray Hill, where a warm Mediterranean ambiance meets exceptional Italian and Croatian cuisine. Nestled near the iconic Empire State Building, this charming restaurant has been serving delectable dishes since 1981.
The menu features homemade pastas, classic fare, and authentic delicacies. Delight in the traditional seafood Buzara, a Dalmatian stew with sea bass, shrimp, and clams, or savor Pasticada, a slow-cooked meat dish served with gnocchi.
Throughout the year, indulge in seasonal specialties such as soft shell crabs and lager-infused roast pork. Don't miss the Osso Buco, a tender braised veal shank served over rice or gnocchi, and the Pollo Berulia, a chef's special of chicken sautéed in white wine with wild mushrooms and artichoke hearts. The restaurant also caters to gluten-free and vegetarian preferences.
Complement your meal with a selection from the extensive wine list, featuring exquisite Italian and Croatian wines.

    Villa Berulia is terrific. The atmosphere is lovely. Service is professional, friendly and accommodating. Importantly, the food is great. Had chicken parm with a delicious sauce, pasta cooked perfectly. Ended with a wonderful tiramisu. An added plus was the Bellini, not often available at restaurants.

    Service impeccable. Cozy, quality environment. Complimentary after dinner drink a nice touch. Specials are a bit pricey (> $50) but good quality. Will return.

    Had absolutely fantastic time with my friends last night. The food was excellent, fresh, flavorful, and well-prepared. Portions were very generous. The service really stood out, especially, our waiter Pedro, and manager Stipe, who were both attentive and made us feel right at home. Their hospitality added to the experience, making it even more enjoyable. If you’re looking for a cozy place with delicious Croatian/Italian food and great service, Villa Berulia is definitely place for a visit.
