Trattoria La Torre

The Castle of Valvasone can be reached by coach services provided in nearby towns.

Within the encircling castle walls beside the portal-house of the castle stands what was once the guardhouse. The old guardhouse is now a restaurant that has adroitly combined history and gastronomy.

The chef Giovanna and her daughters, motivated by their passion for history and cooking, have made an in-depth study of the traditional antique recipes of the region. The result is a dynamic menu which recreates gastronomic delights centuries-old and traditional dishes completely re-invented.

You can partake in stimulating gastronomic initiatives which the restaurant organises periodically such as: “The 16th century banquet”, “Neither meat nor fish”, “The Menu of Seduction”, and many others.

Among the numerous proposal listed on the restaurant’s menu you can find: (starters) birolo con salsa invernata (Birolo in winter sauce), pasticcio di salmone in crosta (Salmon pastry puff pie), torta buona (Delicious pie); (first course proposals): riso dorato di Bartolomeo Scappi (Bartolomeo Scappi’s golden rice); (main course proposals): cinghiale alla Carlo Magno (Wild boar à la Charlemagne), insalata dei Gonzaga (Gonzaga salad), coniglio degli Estensi (Estensi rabbit), scampi luciferini in calderon sulfureo (Sulphurous cauldron of the Devil’s prawns); (sweets): Torta terra del Lupo (Cake from the land of the wolves), dolce mangiar bianco ai petali di rose (Sweet rose-petal delight) .
