Allo Spiedo

Situated in the heart of the ancient and picturesque town of Venzone, surrounded by its renowned medieval walls, Allo Spiedo offers a culinary journey that harmonizes the rustic charm of Friuli Venezia Giulia with contemporary culinary sensibilities. The restaurant's name, "Allo Spiedo", which translates to "on the spit", pays homage to the age-old tradition of rotisserie cooking. This method is celebrated here with succulent, slow-roasted meats that centre their menu. Each cut, whether lamb, chicken, or the local game, is meticulously marinated and roasted to perfection, resulting in dishes that are tender, flavorful, and evocative of the region's pastoral heritage. But Allo Spiedo is not just about its meats. The menu is a well-curated blend of traditional Friulian dishes and innovative creations, all prepared using the freshest ingredients from local farms and markets. Delight in handcrafted pasta, risottos infused with seasonal flavours, and a selection of seafood dishes inspired by the nearby Adriatic coast. The ambience of Allo Spiedo complements its gastronomic offerings. Rustic wooden beams, stone walls, and vintage decor create a cosy and inviting setting. The warm glow of the fireplace, often alight during the colder months, adds to the restaurant's allure, making it a favourite spot for both locals and travellers seeking a taste of authentic Friuli.
