Sorrentino: eating in Trieste with a sea view

Mediterranean flavors among olive trees and saltiness

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…

Albero Nascosto Boutique Hotel

Staying in the heart of Trieste, a stone’s throw from Piazza Unità d’Italia

My first blog article came out way back in January 2015. What did it tell you about? It was precisely about Albero Nascosto! A little place that still is one of the most charming places to stay in the city as of today. We are in a beautiful building from the eighteenth century, in the…

Udine “Compra in Bottega”

The new Temporary Store exhibition space officially opened its doors in Udine on November 12th. They’re located at 15, Antonio Belloni Square, behind the Cathedral.

Mytilus, a sea-view restaurant in Trieste

Excellent seafood and breathtaking sunsets only thirty steps away from Slovenia

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…

Natisone valleys, going over the Slovenian border

Two days and five stops at just over an hour from Trieste

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…

Beach Bistrot, in Muggia for a dinner overlooking the sea

A simple and affordable menu: let’s discover it together!

Yeah, you’d like that, wouldn’t you. And yet… we’re in Muggia, more precisely in the area that was spruced up a year ago: a promenade that houses the Boa Beach. It consists of three small, well-equipped bars which are dedicated, respectively, to families – they serve ice cream, soft drinks and sandwiches – to the…

Grado, a small tour

Where to sleep, eat and go to the beach on the Sunshine Island!

Nope, this certainly isn’t the first time I’ve come to Grado and this is not even the first story I tell about it (here is an “old” tale of mine)! It’s always nice to come back here to discover new little places to experience with my now established group of friends! WHERE TO SLEEP? Agenzia…

Zoff Farm: organic cheese from Cormons with love

Re-discovering a corner of paradise…super tasty!

I’m in Cormons, surrounded by a bucolic landscape. Around me I can only hear the chirping of birds, a few turtle doves and a tractor in the distance from time to time. Here Giuseppe raises his thirty Italian Pezzate rosse cows, pursuing a dream that began thirty years ago. Everything revolves around animal welfare, a…
