Candlelit interiors and a private dining area with a fireplace create an intimate feel, while outdoor seating allows guests to enjoy the Friuli countryside in season.

The Cuisine

Lanzellotti’s kitchen draws on the rich larder of the region, from the Adriatic Sea to the Carnia mountains, with occasional excursions toward prized ingredients like truffles and caviar. The result is Italian Contemporary cuisine that respects Friulian traditions while interpreting them with lightness and imagination.

The restaurant’s Michelin star reflects this commitment to high-quality cooking and a cuisine that is modern yet grounded in place.
