Rosen Bar In Gorizia

It was a wonderful lunch both in terms of quality and presentation of the dishes.

Bad luck for the waitress, and a little for us too. I'll start by saying I chose the restaurant thanks to Raisin, a natural wine app that recommends it. I asked for a natural wine, and she told me the supplier hadn't delivered, suggesting organic... oh well, I must have gotten the wrong restaurant. Having seen some photos and being at Radikon, I tried to ask for Ribolla Gialla, and the waitress said yes, yes, the 33cl. Oh my goodness, I hope she understands and brings me the right wine. Radikon arrives at cellar temperature, 2008! A gem. We asked for a menu without fish, and she told me we were at the wrong restaurant. I told her I'd called and it would have been done somehow. In fact, we ordered a really good prosciutto crudo accompanied by giardiniera on a bed of tuna. Tuna? Yes, exactly, there must have been a mistake, my daughter is allergic. I asked the waitress for confirmation, and she told me it was mayonnaise, not tuna. She gave me a look that betrayed her disappointment. Okay, my daughter insists and tells me it was tuna, so I try it, and it's tuna! I get up, take it to the kitchen, and report the mistake. My daughter is allergic, she'll go to the hospital if she eats fish. A little later, a new giardiniera arrives on a bed of mayonnaise. They apologize, but I point out that it's not a matter of apologies, this is going to the hospital. Okay, I'll drink a glass of Radikon and forget about it. Back to natural wines, my neighbors at the table are the Radikon family and Paraschos, two excellent ones. Let's get to the bill: cash or card? Cash. Okay, the waitress reports the incident to the owner and asks him to prepare the bill, deducting something for the tuna issue. The owner tells her to sort it out (it's fair enough, you made a mess, deal with it), and she prepares the bill, without deducting anything! Who knows! Okay, I open my wallet and he tells me cash isn't acceptable because he had put a card payment, but I had asked for cash payment. Well, okay, we pay by card. In all this, I think back to my request for natural wines and see a fridge full of all sorts of goodies, my favorites. And thinking back to the waitress's response about organic wines, I realize that the staff needs training or they shouldn't be allowed to speak. I'm giving it two stars for friendliness. All that said, I ate well and will try to return, hoping for service on par with the cuisine. Marco

Quiet place, kind and knowledgeable staff.

Off-center location, period building and rooms, also with outdoor/garden spaces. Seafood cuisine with imaginative recipes and reinterpretations, generally well-balanced and enjoyable. Quality ingredients. Good wine list with a selection of wines (limited quantities!). Adequate price/quality ratio.

Me and my wife's long lasting hidden gem. Peter, his wife and the new young staff...wow. The music, the atmosphere, the food....so simple, but yet so complex...a school of simplicity, where the basic ingredients come to the highest possible level.

Excellent restaurant with very tasty and well prepared dishes!!!

Absolutely delicious lunch with excellent raw materials, cooking designed to enhance the flavors and care in the presentation. Very kind and competent staff. A slightly retro but relaxing atmosphere

Very good tasting menu, friendly service

Great balance in flavors thanks to the wisdom and deep preparation of Lady Chef Michela Fabbro, always careful to meticulously select seasonal and top-quality raw materials. Welcoming, muffled and comfortable environment. Good selection of local wines. Thanks for the experience!

An interesting experience in a historic restaurant in Gorizia. You can eat excellent quality fish masterfully prepared by young people in the kitchen (at least it seemed that way to us). A very well-kept restaurant well managed by the girl who goes by the name of Amalia. The owner is the typical gentleman host who puts you at ease and sets the mood to enjoy the experience. Excellent wine list. Absolutely recommended.
