The flavors of Friuli-Venezia Giulia


The cuisine of Friuli-Venezia Giulia is characterized by a variety of flavors and preparations inspired by the traditions of both the land and sea. This rich diversity is well represented by the dishes we are proposing, traditional in the coastal region and area inland from Trieste.
Antipasto
> The Granseola crab Trieste-style
The granseola crab is one of the tastiest shellfish and its sweet meat is perfect for various antipasti and risotto dishes.

First course
> Harbour's Spaghettoni
A tasty fish recipe. Use only fresh scampi: you will be able to recognise them from the tail's meat that should be firm and well attached to the body.

Second-course
> Salted cod Trieste-style
Salted cod is one of the most traditional dishes of the Friuli-Venezia Giulia region in the far north-east corner of Italy. The following recipe includes potatoes, but, as an alternative, it can also be served with hearty slices of grilled polenta.

Side dish
> Radicchio salad
As a side dish for the Trieste-style salted cod, we suggest a radicchio salad. Radicchio is one of the most commonly found vegetables in the Friuli-Venezia Giulia region in the far northeast of Italy. It is found in both the long leafed and round head varieties, frequently enhanced by the flavor of anchovy.

Dessert
> Gubana
Gubana is one of the most famous pastries of the Friuli-Venezia Giulia culinary tradition. Rich in flavors and spicy aromas, it is especially suitable for the autumn season.
