ristorazione — Grado · Friuli-Venezia Giulia
Grado, the amber island on the Adriatic, holds in its historic centre a trattoria that has been bringing the sea home to the table since 2023. Facing the central post office, fresh fish from the lagoon and slow-risen pizza meet here every day, all year round.
Facing the central post office, the trattoria holds a recognisable spot in the heart of Grado. Open since 2023 and already noted among the island's favourite destinations, it welcomes locals and travellers alike with the same measure: an unpretentious setting, honest prices, and a kitchen that never disappoints those arriving straight from the lagoon.
Jimmy greets every table as if it were the first of the day. The running of the house is familiar in the most concrete sense: there is a menu for children, there is time for a word, there is the kind of attention that turns a dinner into an evening. TheFork gives the restaurant a 9 out of 10, and reviews keep returning to the same point: the warmth of the host.
From the kitchen come dishes that tell the story of the lagoon: boreto alla gradese (Grado-style fish stew), spaghetti allo scoglio (spaghetti with mixed seafood), the hot and cold mixed antipasto. Alongside the fresh fish, pizzas with a well-risen crust and a light dough that, as one review notes, hold their own even against the most demanding tastes. The portions are generous, without exception.
A trattoria that feels like home, in the centre of an island that tastes of salt. The page tells the full story of the menu and opening hours.
