Le Dune In Mariano del friuli

25/05/2026: As is my custom, I'm leaving my previous review. May 2026. We returned after a few months for dinner... a very crowded place, practically a summer day. We sat at a table inside where, unfortunately, the temperature was uncomfortably hot. We enjoyed delicious breaded and fried sardines, gnocco with tuna ragù, and paccheri with fish sauce. Everything was cooked with the usual mastery. It's a shame about the heat. Recommended by the reception of the hotel where we're staying, it was a real surprise. In touristy places, finding a place where you can enjoy good food at fair prices is generally a difficult task. A small but charming place facing the harbor. Very kind and professional staff. We had fried sardines, spaghetti allo scoglio, a pumpkin cream with fried shrimp and crispy bacon, and to finish, a dessert millefeuille with berries and Chantilly cream. All the dishes were expertly presented. The food was high-quality, fresh, well-cooked, and delicious. Overall, we had a great time despite the tables being very close together. Highly recommended. October 2025.

09/05/2026: An excellent dinner with friends. The ingredients are excellent, and the cuisine, while unsophisticated, pays careful attention to the balance of flavors and presentation. The wine list is good, and the prices are reasonable considering the quality and hospitality. The only flaw, if I may say so, is that the place is a bit small, which can be problematic if the weather doesn't allow for outdoor dining.
