Ristrante Agli Amici

Antica Trattoria Sguazzi

The Fiorone pig

The king of the table is the Fiorone pig. A pack leader, born and raised in Friuli. Ii is fed with cereals of own production and buttermilk of the operating dairy shop at foothills. Being knocked down in the "flower" of its growth (when no more a piglet but not yet a pig), from its meat you do not derive the hams that would then age for 24–36 months, and for which it is mainly bred. Of course, the farmer is not very happy when we deprive him of the most prized piece of his barn, but it allows us to taste really unique meats to the delight of our taste.

Osteria di Tancredi

In the heart of San Daniele, Osteria di Tancredi is distinguished for its charming atmosphere where, starting from the sweet and famous raw ham, you can taste the authentic flavors of Friuli, from salami of the house, to delicious cheese, smoked trout, bacon, and you can enjoy the dishes of our cuisine, such as apple dumplings, Tagliolini in San Daniele style, soups, rabbit with herbs, Frico with potatoes, homemade cakes and many other specialties carefully prepared according to old recipes. From the shelves, you can choose the bottles of wine you want to taste, from the best wineries of our region.

Ristorante Dal Diaul

This excellent restaurant has a propitiatory name: Dal Diaul, as if to ward off evil spirits that for over two thousand years have lived in the sagas of the Celts. It is located in an old village house in Lower Friuli, lost among the mountains and the sea and surrounded, in winter, by a light mist, which makes it even more fascinating and full of mystery. In effect, Dal Diaul, now that those spirits do not wander along the Friuli countryside, is nothing more than a tiny place, and here there is, it is appropriate to say, the magical kingdom of Luciano Odorico.

Trattoria Paradiso

Paradiso. May charm, coziness, sense of history, artistic interest be found in a small rural village, lost in the vast plain of Lower Friuli? At Paradiso you often meet people who come to this place from big cities in search of a less impersonal and less empty environment: from this village, all are immediately conquered, since the spontaneous architecture of the rural village becomes part of the landscape, evoking the most sincere expression of the culture and the development of a people. Paradiso is part of the municipality of Pocenia, easily accessible from the ss353 in the stretch that connects the town of Castions di Strada to Muzzana in the so–called "zone of springs". Historical documents prove the existence of a household named Paradiso or "Paravisi" since the Middle Ages, but only with the arrival of the noble Caratti family, in the seventeenth century, the village takes on a definite structure and a specific rural organization. At the origin of the unusual name there are probably the particular environmental characteristics of the area, being characterized by abundant running water that ensured a safe haven for flora and fauna of different kinds and at the same time kept away bad diseases, such as malaria and pellagra. The Caratti family also gave start to the pioneering business of land arrangement which saw them protagonists, together with the families of Savorgnan, Frangipane and Badoer, of the first reclamation works in Lower Friuli. The structure of the village was created and developed as a result of the need for construction and expansion of the property, depending on the agricultural use. Therefore, buildings were used for the storage of supplies, as homes of the settlers and barns for cattle ranching. Paradiso developes on two orthogonal axes: from a vertical line, the entire housing finds its structure, while the ortogonale structure divides the country into three parts, including the church and a collective space for residents, the manor house and the park. The rustic buildings, developed according to the classical scheme of rural houses of Lower Friuli, have habitation, fogolar, a separate barn, hayloft and courtyard. Peculiar is the structure of the church, intimate and cozy inside, built about at the end of the seventeenth century and known as "La Rotonda" because it stands on a circular base. Its initial appearance was partially modified in the nineteenth century, with the addition of the chancel and the replacement of the primitive rib vaulted bell cell with the current bell tower. A restructuring of the sacred building is ongoing, that will give back to Paradiso one of its jewels, returned to its original splendor. Prominent element in the structure of the village is villa Caratti, a manor house with a double body, made for subsequent additions and alterations, from 1691 to the late nineteenth century. Evident is the stylistic connotation of neoclassical style of the main facade. The outbuildings of the manor house include a botanic gardens, a formal garden and a greenhouse of exquisite aesthetics. Nine are the hectares of the ornamental green area, with flowerbeds with precise designs and rich in various plant species that reflect a fine aesthetic sense and give a high degree of preciousness of botany. Another building of interest is without any doubt Villa de’ Giudici, currently owned by the Veritti family, located on the road which leads to the establishment of mineral waters of the Corte Paradiso Fountain, a modern testimony of the environmental value of the area and the purity of the water in particular. Despite the general conditions of neglect, finally, the charm and beauty of the village can be actually appreciated entering the "Al Paradiso" tavern, an excellent example of a rural house renovation, carried out following scrupulous criteria of architectural recovery.

Trattoria Albergo Da Nando

In Mortegliano, in the heart of Friuli, Ivan and Sandro are pleased to welcome you in the Da Nando Hotel Restaurant, for a magical encounter between the best Friulian gastronomic tradition and the warm hospitality typical of “Da La Nestre Tiare” (of our land).



Trattoria Da Nando was opened in 1960 by Ferdinando Nando Uanetto and his wife Isolina, peerless in the kitchen, affable behind the counter of Sior Nando. This perfect union makes that, in the 80s, their children Ivan and Sandro entered the direct management of the premise bringing with them a breath of novelty. The restaurant was renovated in 1992, creating in this way five comfortable rooms that can accommodate up to 140 people.

The environment is furnished in rustic–modern style and creates the ideal climate to enjoy the typical cuisine of the Trattoria, strictly related to the culinary traditions of Friuli and the typical products of our land.

An homage paid to the Friulian tradition, that the two owners together with the chef, reinterpret according to the seasons, to ensure customers the genuineness and freshness of the food served. We witness, in this way, to a natural succession of delicate asparagus and herbs of the field during spring, a jubilation of pore mushrooms from our Carnia in the summer months, until you get to autumn–winter where the protagonists are Rosso di Treviso and the White Truffle. The Polente Cuinciade, the Ham of Cormons by L. D. Osvaldo, the Formadi Frant and a thousand of other delights of our region combine wonderfully with the early fruits of the seasons.
