Tiki Taka In Monfalcone

16/04/2025: Unforgettable experience. When care, research, passion, sensitivity and dedication translate into a dish, that dish transmits unique emotions. I became a child again, lying in a meadow with a thread of sorrel in my mouth and under my grandmother's long dining table playing with the ancestral scent of hunting birds in my nose on the wood stove waiting for a chaotic and exhilarating dinner among hunters.

13/04/2025: It was our first experience of haute cuisine, and we were fascinated by it. Choosing L'Argine a Vencò means having an experience that goes beyond the simple act of eating: it is a refined journey into the heart of Friuli Venezia Giulia, told with poetry and passion by a cuisine that is memory, research and vision. You are welcomed into an environment that is elegant in its sobriety, where the wood, the natural light and the silence of the surrounding landscape create an intimate and contemplative atmosphere. It is a place that invites you to listen to food, time and nature. The dining room staff moves with impeccable diligence, never intrusive but always present, with attention to detail that makes each guest feel unique and welcome. Each dish is introduced with passion and precision, and the wine pairing is handled with intelligence and delicacy. Antonia Klugmann's cuisine is a hymn to the identity of the place. Local ingredients are transformed with respect and surprising creativity, into dishes that speak of woods, wild herbs, vegetable gardens, seasons. It is a cuisine that excites, amazes and is remembered for a long time, made of love for one's land, and combinations that are as unthinkable as they are harmonious. I won't deny that at the beginning we were so intimidated and intrigued by these carefully crafted and amazing dishes that we exchanged rolled napkins for phyllo pastry cigars (sorry). I fell in love with the chard and celeriac parcels, two ingredients that I don't love at all, but which have been worked with so much skill to create a truly memorable dish. Given the chance, it would be nice to return at every change of season to see how the menu changes!
