ristorazione — Ferlach · Carinzia
At the foot of the Karawanks, where Austria touches its southernmost edge, a restaurant carries in its name the promise it keeps: Italian cooking in its most familiar form, with the wood-fired oven lit and the door open to all.
In the heart of Ferlach, Austria's southernmost town, La Mia Casa welcomes guests with the warmth of a real home. The family-run spirit is felt from the threshold: a place where the atmosphere is relaxed, the welcome sincere, and every table is set up for comfort, whether with family or friends, at lunch or dinner.
The dining room opens onto an Italian kitchen that looks to the sea without forgetting the mountains: mixed calamari, seafood risotto and pizza with salmon and rocket sit alongside pasta classics. When the weather allows, the outdoor terrace stretches the view toward the Karawanks, and the meal becomes a pause.
The wood-fired oven is the beating heart of the kitchen. The pizzas come out with dough worked according to tradition and the baking that only live fire can give: a puffed-up crust, fresh ingredients chosen with care. It is no coincidence that pizza is the house specialty most mentioned by guests, from Ferlach and well beyond its borders.
At the finish, a dish that says it all: fresh ingredients, traditional gesture, and the care of someone cooking as they would at home.
