05/06/2025: Those who know Lignano know that eating well is not a given. The gastronomic offer is vast, but too often you come across places that seem designed more for passing tourists than for those who are truly looking for quality. This is precisely why Osteria Farmacia dei Sani clearly stands out: one of the few places that manages to combine authenticity, taste and hospitality in an area where approximation is often the norm.
The menu is well thought out: varied and interesting, but without falling into exaggeration. A balanced selection that suggests a careful and focused cuisine, where each dish is treated with the right care. As they say: better to do a few things, but do them well.
The service deserves a special mention: despite the place being full, the staff managed to find us a corner in the outdoor area, thoughtfully creating a table usually intended for the bar area. An unpredictable gesture, which demonstrates attention and the desire to welcome the customer, even in logistical difficulties.
We started with a creamed cod crostini – rich, tasty and well-balanced – accompanied by a complimentary cicchetto with Pata Negra lard, of excellent quality. A surprising and generous start. I had already appreciated the adjacent cicchetteria in the past, but this experience confirmed and exceeded expectations.
For main courses we chose a tuna steak and grilled calamari. Both dishes were well presented, perfectly cooked and authentic flavors. The calamari, in particular, are among the best I have tasted in recent times: tender, tasty and without excess.
To accompany everything, a glass of Ribolla Gialla di Collavini, one of the Friulian wine excellences, which proved to be a winning choice.
Finally, a note of merit also for the prices: honest and more than competitive, especially considering the quality of the service and the products offered.
In short, I highly recommend the experience at Osteria Farmacia dei Sani: a place where you feel welcomed, pampered and, above all, where you can still eat really well in Lignano.
