Trattoria Gostilna Lokanda Devetak In Savogna d'isonzo

The inn is primarily known as a restaurant, where, to be honest, it stands out in every way: dishes crafted with attention to detail and featuring very interesting pairings, attentive and precise service, a sommelier, supervised by the host, of an excellent standard, who accompanies the dinner with suggestions and perfect pairings (it's the only place where I delegate the choices to him—mistakes are out of the question), and ample space between tables, typical of Michelin-starred restaurants. Last but not least, the attention to hygiene, which extends even to the bathrooms. Something not to be overlooked. The expertise, attention to detail, and dedication to their work have made this establishment one of the best in Friuli Venezia Giulia. For a gourmand, it's worth organizing a special trip. I recommend not visiting during the busiest times so you can visit the cellar at your leisure and perhaps ask for a bottle to enjoy at home.

but I entered there, but passing through there often to reach San Michele, this inn seems fantastic to me.

Dining at Lokanda Devetak 1870 was truly a memorable experience. This family-run restaurant has such a welcoming atmosphere, and you can really feel the passion they put into everything. One of the daughters looked after us with such care – she was incredibly attentive, knowledgeable, and offered great recommendations of wines that matched the dishes perfectly. The food itself was absolutely amazing – full of flavour, tradition, and refinement. Beyond the quality of the meal, what stood out most was how the team managed to make us feel so warm and at home, almost like dining with family. It’s the kind of place that leaves a lasting impression, and we would definitely come back whenever we are in the region. Highly recommended!

A good experience, consistent with what I expected. The place is simple but well-kept from the outside, and the atmosphere is warm and quite welcoming. Overall, we ate well (the first course and dessert were excellent, but the second course was a bit disappointing) and the price was fair; the only downside was the service: it started well, but faltered between the first and second courses (you can't wait 53 minutes). Another thing we noticed was that some of the waitresses (especially the owner's daughters) were very friendly and attentive; the other wait staff we dealt with were definitely a step behind. The owner made the evening a success with a few jokes, always with a smile and a warm handshake at the end.

Our family anniversary dinner was a truly memorable experience. From the start, the refined atmosphere and warm welcome made us feel at ease, creating the perfect setting for a special evening. The menu was a true triumph of flavors. We had the pleasure of sampling dishes such as mushrooms, wild boar, and Fassona beef, all expertly prepared. Each course was a masterpiece not only in taste but also in presentation. The meticulously crafted plating made each dish a feast for the eyes as well. Special praise goes to the excellent wine selection, which complemented each course sublimely, enhancing their flavors. The perfect pairing further enriched our culinary experience. The quality of the food, the elegance of the venue, and the impeccable service made this dinner an unforgettable success. It's a place we'll definitely return to.

Everything at Lokanda Devetak embodies the value of 'hospitality'. One truly feels like a guest. There is a genuine enthusiasm for sharing the region's food and wine (about which the owners give expert recommendations). The rooms are perfectly appointed, rustic and traditional but comfortable. I love Friuli-VG and when I return to explore the fascinating Karst and Gorizia region further, I would stay and eat at Lokanda Devetak again; I have already recommended it to others.

Ho mangiato due volte in questo ristorante, a distanza di pochi giorni. Locale tipico, che prepara piatti della tradizione in modo semplice, mai pesanti ma molto gustosi. Sapori ricercati, materie prime ottime, a km zero. Servizio rapido nonostante sia sempre molto pieno, prezzi giusti. Personale molto professionale, molti fanno parte della famiglia dei proprietari, compresa la cuoca: sono la sesta generazione di una storia iniziata oltre centocinquanta anni fa.

The amazing food, with careful valorisation of niche products. Courtesy, professionalism, availability and kindness made us feel very at ease.

Categoria: Ristorante Italiano Trovato per: Guida Slow Food (@) Provato per la prima volta anni fa e da quel momento ci sono tornato quasi ogni anno, negli ultimi due anche a pernottare fermandomi qualche giorno. È un posto unico. Una locanda che ha più di 150anni sperduta nel Carso, a un passo dal confine sloveno, in un territorio aspro che richiama alla memoria reminiscenze scolastiche sui grandi eventi del secolo scorso. La storia è affascinante, ho letto anche il libro sulla storia della famiglia. Da locanda di paese, alla quale è passata di fianco la Storia con la S maiuscola, è ora un’oasi di pace e autenticità dove si respira un’atmosfera fuori dal tempo. A gestione familiare, il patron Augustin è un personaggio “leggendario” di enorme fascino, la cui fama fama è nota anche a chi non ci è ancora stato, se appassionato di enogastronomia. Il ristorante è elegante e molto curato, i piatti sono quelli del territorio un po’ rivisitati. È tutto più o meno buono: di primi ho provato i fusi (pasta) con salsiccia e formaggio Jamar e i tagliolini alla farina di vinaccia con spezzatino di gallina e speck croccante (eccezionali!). Tra i secondi la coscia di coniglio al forno con patate e la guancia di maiale (che avrei preferito un po’ più morbida) brasata al Terrano con patate in tecia. Tra i dolci va assolutamente provato il Tiramisù Coppa Vetturino, che loro dicono essere la ricetta originale del creatore del dolce. I rafioi (biscotti alle carote ripieni di confettura) e gelato erano invece meno entusiasmanti. La carta dei vini è un’ode al territorio, incentrata su Collio e Carso, sia italiano sia sloveno, e altre zone del Friuli, e poi etichette dall’Italia e dal mondo. Profondissima scelta, annate anche molto vecchie e introvabili, e prezzi più che onesti. Servizio efficiente, tutto o quasi in mano alle figlie e a pochi altri collaboratori. Prezzo assolutamente corretto, soprattutto per i bassissimi ricarichi sui vini e la qualità delle materie prime. Come dicevo a inizio recensione, sono innamorato di questo posto e ci tornerò ogni volta che posso.
