Caffè Letterario Al Convento In Pordenone

09/03/2025: A place that has been present in the area for a long time, renowned for the quality of its products and the services offered in the ice cream and pastry sector. From a first, quick glance from the outside you can see why it is one of the most popular places in Pordenone. I enter almost with awe, asking to be seated at a table. I find a seat immediately also because I arrive almost at closing time. The staff welcomes me smiling and helpful. I ask for the menu to have a look at the ice cream list. I immediately find a proposal that captures my attention and I don't hesitate to ask for that: the cup Eis Eggnog. The moment they bring it to the table it is also described to me as if we were in a high-end restaurant: immeasurable class. The staff is proud to present their home-made zabaglione revisited, I would say, Friulian style. Oh yes, you understood correctly: exactly Friulian style! But, question…how can you revisit an eggnog Friulian style? The answer, it will soon be said, lies here: in the Gelateria Montereale laboratory. The secret, and the answer key, is in the liquor used. There is no trace of Marsala or Maraschino aroma but of Verduzzo di Ramandolo liqueur. It also contains notes of marked sweetness but much less incisive and more balanced in flavor. The result? Amazing. The result is a product that blends impeccably with the cream ice cream, is very well creamed and becomes unique with the eggnog cream. A symphony of tastes masterfully directed by the local pastry chefs. Among other things, this peculiar egg cream has had such success with the public that it has led the owners to make it available to customers in jars that can be purchased separately. Another flagship product that is enjoying great success is the real, inimitable, Biscotto Pordenone. A round biscuit with a center of corn flour which makes it delicate in taste but rough in texture. A contrast that gives just that little something necessary to make it remembered and appreciated by the palates of the customers who taste it. Also in this case the product is marketed in attractive transparent bags closed by a red fabric strap of various weights. Never as for this place can we say that the fame is more deserved than ever.
