La Tavernetta al Castello

We got married at La Tavernetta at Castello di Spessa and spent a few days on the estate and everything was truly outstanding. The location is absolutely stunning, the food was delicious, and the staff was some of the friendliest, most professional, and genuinely kind I’ve ever encountered anywhere. It’s all worthy of the highest praise, a solid 10 out of 10. We’re already looking forward to coming back, whether for lunch or just to stop by for the best coffee I’ve ever had. In a time when hospitality can feel rushed or impersonal, this place stands out. It was such a pleasure to finally experience true quality again, the kind that reminds you why it’s worth going out to a restaurant.

I was disapointed. The idea of castle like interior and a view on the castle looked like a great choice for us. Coming there we immediately saw there are no local guests and Italians meaning it may not be that good choice. The service was good but the food very average. Portions were ok, list of wine very big but wine is very expensive. We payed 104€ for 3 plates divided between us as we were not that hungry and for 2 glasses of wine and a cake. I am sure somewhere else we could get better food for less money in maybe slightly less nice place.

And wonderful food, wine and service. Overlooks a golf course, and a part of three restaurants that are in the Castillo di Spessa. We did not stay and only stopped for lunch, but definitely worth returning, to stay, play golf and eat/drink very well indeed...

Excellent service, cosy atmosphere & fine food.

G&M review - excellent - Uou can dining in different places, but you can have an experience in a few places, This is one of them. The location is almost unique in Friuli Venezia Giulia, you can't miss it if you want have a superlative remembering of your stay.

Great restaurat, very interesting food…basically italian but with a modern twist. The atmosphere is very relaxing and the staff is very friendly…also the view is spectacular. Will definitely come again!

Perfect scene and service, amazing food and wine. Great experience.

Amazing stay. Wonderful people and exquisite rooms. A true wine and grappa experience. The area offers great walks. The beach is not far. Just an awesome place for a holiday.
