Wiener Haus In Gorizia

31/07/2024: Nice location and decor. Felt warm/inviting. Pleasant staff and prompt service at the bar, but a bit of a wait for pasticcio that was expensive and not good at all. Went looking for lasagna around town at lunch and was told to look for pasticcio instead, which would have white sauce and would be authentic and good. What was served was basically solidified flour paste with crumbled meat. The pasta was very overcooked and mushed into whatever cheese or other ingredients were hidden in the mass. It must be from a large tray where the pasta continues cooking long after it comes out of the oven, then it cooks even further when reheated for an order. There is a high quality pizza and a nice pastry to be found in any direction in Gorizia for the cost of this one thing, and I wouldn't buy this again even if it was cheap. I might try something the chef is obligated to make fresh, such as pizza, but it should be obvious that a process needs to be revamped when the white sauce, cheese, and pasta are indistinguishable. Just make a large tray of very al dente pasticcio and immediately refrigerate small portions. The pasta will soften just from sitting in the sauce, then reheat it in an air fryer.
