This is the first time ever I decide to tell you about San Daniele del Friuli. I have been there before, but today I decided to get on my laptop and tell you about my very personal experience, hoping that this itinerary will come in handy. Ready? Let’s not get lost in chit-chat. I’ll start…
Treviso is an evocative and enchanting city, full of interesting places that embrace culture, history, landscape, and food and wine: this is an incredible area, rightly renamed as the Garden of Venice; for such name is probably complicit the very close ties this city had with the Serenissima. Afterall, Treviso’s history is that of a…
We’re in the small town of Sutrio, which counts 1200 inhabitants right in the heart of Carnia, Friuli-Venezia Giulia. This village is part of the Borghi autentici d’Italia association, and it’s highly probable that it is also one of the oldest human settlements in all of Carnia. As popular tradition wants it (and remembers it),…
It’s new and still little known, but the Trieste Cocktail Week is back for its second edition, starting on September 11th to the 17th: this will be an event dedicated to quality mixing, which will involve twenty venues that will present innovative and imaginative ideas, other than specific attention to the area and its products.…
A sandwich with ham and kren (and how could you say no to a breaded eggplant slice on there?). A rustic plate of gnocchi with goulasch or something more elaborate and even a bit more scenic. Get ready for an enjoyable tour around Trieste: all forks to me! Ready? Go. Why, yes, after devoting many,…
It’s foremost important to give a context on where we are, because this article will be read not only by those who live in Friuli Venezia Giulia… welcome to Carnia, Cjargne in the Friulian language! This is a predominantly mountainous area located in the northwestern part of the province of Udine, including much of the…
For the second year in a row, I’ve been a guest of the Consorzio Tutela Vini Doc Friuli Aquileia: it was a pleasant return that confirmed the love at first sight that was born last time. Yet, before diving into the heart of my storytelling, I would like to introduce you to the smallest DOC…
On March 15th, 2016 I published a report of my experience at Joia’s. At the time, the restaurant was still located on Via Cadorna, and I already had my eye on the cooking of young chef Pasquale Sorrentino, which was only 28 years old at the time. He has come a long way in 7…
Last stop, all aboard! Oh yes, I do believe that Mytilus can claim the record of “the first restaurant in Italy coming from Slovenia.” We are in Muggia, precisely in the Lazzaretto area, and by walking only thirty more steps you will leave Italy behind. This little place opened a few months ago when Matteo…
Yes, you read that right. Only an hour and fifteen minutes from Trieste, although the word “valleys” brings the mind to much more distant destinations. And yet… In an Instagram direct, I asked you what different content you’d like to find on my blog: the answer was a resounding “short 2 days itineraries close to…
