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,…
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…
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…
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. Here, 30 artisan workshops from Friuli Venezia Giulia are gathered in one place among fashion, agribusiness, and artistic craftsmanship. The Compra in Bottega project was born last year thanks to…
We are in the heart of the city, more precisely at 1, Via San Spiridione, to discover a gem that opened its doors just a few weeks ago. And who could be behind this marvelous and ambitious project if not Walter Gustin himself who, with his 040 Group, counts several venues scattered around the city?…
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…
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…
