Maize, cheese, river fish, pork, snails, rice (which here is cultivated since 1700) and now also white truffle are the best fruit of these lands born from the sea (with millenary forests, deep rivers with pure surgive waters, intense green countries) that give to them a particular and marked taste.  
  We propose them with recipes both traditional and creative made with great care and refinement. So you will allways find in the menu of the Taverenetta da Aligi (price between € 23-33):

The festival of the pork cuisine lovers a month long

From the natural environment a new speciality

The precious white truffle has been recently discovered between Porpetto and Muzzan del Turgnano villages in the forests which 2000 years ago was a part of the immense ‘silva lupanica’. Rightly today the truffle is a stable and prestigious presence in our menu

The Tavernetta da Aligi was born in 1955 as ‘osteria’ (open still today with three little rooms where you can enjoy typical regional products and wines) beginning at once also the activity of hot cooking. The love for the cooking both typical and creative and also the care in the furnishing and artistic enrichment of the place have obtained countless private and public awards, among which stands the golden medal of the Province of Udine
The management of the restaurant is always of the founder family in which mistress Elsa is aided by the sons Ezio in the kitchen and Clia and Mary in the bar and in the rooms.
