Tavernetta al Castello – A Romantic Dinner in the Heart of Collio

For an elegant and romantic evening in Friuli Venezia Giulia, Tavernetta al Castello is the perfect choice. The setting is refined and welcoming: from the warm Sala Caminetto to the scenic Sala degli Affreschi, all the way to the panoramic veranda and the summer terrace overlooking the vineyards.

In the kitchen, Chef Antonino Venica creates dishes that blend creativity and tradition, using high-quality local ingredients. Not to be missed is the Friulian frico with potatoes and cheese—crispy on the outside and soft on the inside—a true symbol of the region’s cuisine, along with the refined lagoon fish ravioli or the Mangalica saddle. All of this is paired with an excellent wine list, rich in Collio labels and selections from the Castello di Spessa estate.

The restaurant is located at Via Spessa 7 in Capriva del Friuli, within the prestigious Castello di Spessa Golf Wine Resort, surrounded by the rolling hills and vineyards of Collio.
