03/05/2025: A pearl hidden in Carnia You don't arrive at Indiniò by chance: this aspect certainly represents a challenge for those who do fine dining in this way and a very pleasant discovery for those who then find themselves in the beautiful village of Raveo almost "without knowing it". The location, the result of a skilful renovation, is perfectly set in the historic center. The bar at the entrance is a pleasant meeting point. Going up the stairs you then arrive in the welcoming, well-kept dining room with tables well arranged on several levels. We opted for the classic tasting menu (the botanical one was also very interesting). All courses (including the amuse bouche) denote a very careful selection of local raw materials of excellent quality and a frantic search that is never an end in itself, but aimed at the perfect balance of flavors through unconventional solutions. You have the feeling that everything is not done to amaze but to give guests a wellness experience for the palate. The wine pairing was superb with very pleasant discoveries of small wineries and great confirmations (Vodopivec). Don't miss the selection of cheeses. Ultimately, a very well-studied and excellently paced menu that makes you leave the table pleasantly full and not at all weighed down (well, after a certain age I believe that the most sincere opinion after a dinner can be expressed the next morning... and on this front too we are truly at the top). The service proved to be very attentive and professional, without mistakes and with a great desire to make anyone who visits this food and wine pearl feel good. A much appreciated added value is the possibility of being able to chat at the end of the evening with the chef Gloria and with Mirco, maître and sommelier. For good luck, it shouldn't be said: but the conditions for shining in the well-known red guide are all there.

30/04/2025: We took the vegetarian tasting menu - food was mostly excellent except for a couple of disappointments. Cauliflower secondo was just cooked cauliflower with a sauce and the vegetarian dessert (normal menu had another dessert) was beautiful but basically just ice cream - These didn't seem up to par with the normal (meat) tasting menu, but the vegetarian one has the same price... The service was very awkward and there were some major faux pas. The first thing they brought us after we asked for the vegetarian tasting menu had fish on it. When we asked they barely apologized, and took it and brought it back the same thing without the fish on it. They didn't offer any compensation or discount for that. After we finished dinner we were completely ignored and at some point had to go to the bar and ask for the bill multiple times, and we sat there for more than an hour waiting to pay and leave. I think it was because the Chef goes and has conversations with every table and we were last in the queue - and the waiters had to keep us there for that. Very awkward.
