About this audio guide
This guide to Villa Spiza, tucked into Split's old core, follows two sisters, Ivana and Nada, who split one tiny open kitchen between them, cooking straight off whatever the market offered that morning. It traces the restaurant back to their father, Nikica Gamulin, known as Gama, one of Split's most celebrated chefs, who spent years at sea before he ever ran a kitchen. You'll hear how Adriatic cooks generations ago found a use for cuttlefish ink. Watch Ivana work the stove from one of the eight stools at the counter.
