La Subida Country Resort - Trattoria al Cacciatore

We recently had dinner at La Subida – Trattoria al Cacciatore, a restaurant with an undeniably charming atmosphere. The setting is beautiful, surrounded by nature and thoughtfully designed down to the smallest details. The service was equally pleasant – warm, attentive, and well-coordinated throughout the evening. Unfortunately, while the ambiance and hospitality were excellent, the culinary experience fell short of expectations. We tasted several dishes from the menu, but none of them truly stood out or left a lasting impression. The overall sensation was one of technical execution, but without a memorable emotional or flavor impact. The rice dish was probably the most interesting among what we tried. However, I was puzzled by the addition of four small pieces of eel, which didn’t blend harmoniously with the rest of the plate. Even more concerning, the eel had a strong muddy aftertaste that overwhelmed rather than complemented the dish. The plin, while acceptable, didn’t reach the level of refinement we were expecting from a restaurant of this caliber. The filling was well-balanced, but the overall flavor and texture didn’t quite elevate the dish beyond the ordinary. One particularly disappointing moment came when we were informed – upon sitting down at 8 PM – that the pigeon dish, which we had been looking forward to, was no longer available. According to the maître d’, it had already been fully pre-ordered by another table earlier in the evening. We were told that only a few pork shanks remained as the sole second course option. It felt quite limiting for a tasting experience, especially given the early hour of our reservation. In short, while we appreciated the setting and service, the food didn’t live up to the reputation or the expectations we had going in. We left with the impression that the kitchen is capable, but perhaps a bit too self-referential – focused more on concept than coherence or satisfaction. We hope our feedback is taken in the spirit of constructive criticism, because the potential is clearly there – and with such a beautiful location and attentive team, we'd love to return one day to a more fulfilling experience.

Amazing experience that highlights ingredients in a simple, but creative ways. Great service and very kind people. The highlight of the evening especially the older lady that gave everything a special feeling with her kindness! Highly recommend.

La Subida was an experience. Incredible food, knowledgeable and kind staff, gorgeous space, and such care for every detail. We chose a tasting menu and we were treated to a veritable feast for the eyes and palate, with little amuse-bouche in between courses and some truly exceptional wine. Absolutely recommended for special evenings.

I had been planning this trip to Friuli for several years and a friend recommended La Subida, where he said he always stays. Our stay was amazing: the care, details, uniqueness and beauty of everything they do is truly inspired and inspiring. Our cottage was split-level, backing up to the vinegar house. We ate at both the cafe and the more formal restaurant and were really impressed with each course and the wines offered are superb. Sitting out on our back patio backing up to the trails and vineyards was beautiful and it is so peaceful there. If you go, you will want to stay longer than you booked. It is a very special place. It makes you appreciate everything more to be there. We felt lucky to have had it recommended. A highlight of our trip. It is a little bit magical.

I've been to many places over the past 40 years but I can say La Subida is the number one, ever, easily. Even before entering the place, you can feel the love they put in everything: decorations, artifacts, lights and of course in the foods and drinks. The place was waiting on my bucket list for many years and it was the best decision to make that note and now to complete it. I ate for dinner a 7 course degustation menu with a special wine selection for each round. Everything was just perfect. Will definitely come back regularly.

I had the pleasure to host colleagues from different countries and cultures at Trattoria al Cacciatore, and truly everyone was amazed with each and every serving. Plates are uniquely refined, seasonal and local. Local wine selection is done with the same attention to detail. Grappa selection is best in class. Service is pleasant and attentive. Made me proud to host people in my region of origin.

This was definitely an outstanding experience! I was brought here by my boyfriend and his friends, and I was really surprised. This place is an oasis in the middle of nature. You can breath tradition and tranquility. The food, service and the decoration is one of the best I've experienced in Italy. Plus, they let our dog eat in the interior part of the restaurant (booking in advance of course). We will be back FOR SURE!

Can’t say the place is worth a Michelin star. Not for food and not even for service. The only two good things to remember are the wine pairing served by a talented sommelier and the quality of meat. But shall it justify a 1 star Michelin? Controversial food flavours, staff partly being unfriendly, in some cases I would have not been eager to finish my course after first bite… maybe good ratings are given to the resort overall, but as for the restaurant there is nothing special to discover.
