La Primula

Marco and his team make every moment very special. They are sincere about the hospitality they provide and their passion for food and wine is unmatched.

In a 50 km circle you will not find a better restaurant than this. They are open for 140 years and they have one Michelin star for ages. There is a small hotel upstairs so perfect for a stopover.

Exceptional traditional food, warm service.

Honestly the best food in Italy. They staffis incredibly nice and helpful with all your needs and wishes. If you have a spare day ask Marco for some good tips on either where to go eator what to see

With origins dating back to the late 1800s, La Primula, located in San Quirino, has a history of foodie excellence. As the only Michelin-starred restaurant in the whole Aviano/Pordenone area, La Primula reigns above all as the go-to gastronomical queen. Walking into the its “compound”, it feels unpretentious, tucked away in a sleepy town. The portico is beautiful, accented with quality wicker furniture, high glass tables(for your prosecco flutes!), tall evergreen potted trees, and a pretty green lawn. Since I went with a group from work, we spent a solid hour talking, drinking DOCG Valdobbiadene Prosecco, laughing, drinking more….. etc. The dining room I was placed is well-appointed with white chairs, white linened tables, and white walls. There is a glass wine rack toward the end of the room showcasing over one hundred different Italian wines. As we settle into our tables, Marco, the maitre d’, explains the dishes he is about to start serving us. Our first dish came out and everyone was floored. It was so beautiful and delicate. Marco tells us its pumpkin flowers stuffed with summer vegetables and cheese with light tomato sauce. The cheese is covered with poppy seeds. It’s very soft, creamy, accompanied with a slight tang and perfectly compliments the vegetable medley inside the pumpkin flowers. Second course is a zucchini lasagna topped with San Daniele prosciutto. Anyone who knows me well knows I love prosciutto. This prosciutto was the best I had EVER tasted. Being paired with the zucchini lasagna just put it over the top. It was a comfort food that I had never been comforted by. The dish was light because of the vegetables yet filling from the lasagna and thinly sliced pieces of hog heaven. I loved this dish. The third and main Course was Roasted Suckling Pig with potatoes and tomato gratin. It was a simple dish highlighted principally by meat and potatoes but it was rich. The meat was doused in a suckling pig jus. The pork was tender and lined by a fantastic belt of pork fat that could easily win a pork cracklin’ contest. This dish was solid. Our last dish and the Dolce course was a lemon Bavarian Cream cake made with prosecco served on top of a strawberry sauce. Although it didn’t look like anything special, it was super tangy. The lemon and the strawberry sauce were paired superbly. The meal was quite satisfying, the decor tasteful, and the event was a success. I enjoyed all 3 hours of it. If you are ever in the mood for a food “experience”, take your significant other out for an anniversary dinner or something. La Primula is a PRIMO choice.

My third time dining here. A creative and delicious menu well deserving of its Michelin star. Complimented well by its fantastic and enormous wine list.

Hands down the BEST restaurant I have ever been to in my life. My first Michelin star restaurant and it did not disappoint, I highly recommend the tasting course paired with a wine tasting. Come hungry! and have someone be your driver, it's an experience you don't want to pass up!

The restaurant needs no recommendation. Devine is the only word that would describe service, food and wine at this place. If you can, I would one hundred percent recommend staying at the hotel as well. Breakfast is a dream and the whole family is very accommodating. We will definitely come back.
