If in doubt, go to Allegra Fattoria with your kids! ||It’s in Malchina (one of the villages behind Sistiana, so it’s easy to reach). It’s a petting zoo-farm-playground-restaurant perfect for kids with good quality food and good customer service. ||Food is not your typical Carso gnocchi with goulash (good but a bit boring after a while right?!). They have both meats and seafood, which is unusual up in the hills here, and even a pizza oven (which is even more unusual). Today several fresh home made pastas (thick homemade spaghetti anyone? 😋😋😋), squid peas and mint sauce paccheri past, and very good fried calamari. Nice to find classics but also some really creative dishes. ||Not Carso cheap (no dishes for 6 euros, more like double that) but v good quality and the setting is lovely & super kid friendly. ||Wish I’d discovered this place earlier! Good size playground, farm and animals (horses ponies goats sheep geese pigs rabbits!) in a lovely petting zoo/farm setting right behind the restaurant. ||Make...

Read moreWe spent a week at the Allegra Fattoria in July after having some accomodation fall through in the city. We were not planning on staying at a farm as we are very much city people, but we really enjoyed the experience. We were surrounded by animals ranging from cats and dogs, to donkeys and goats and were particularly fond of the 2 fat labradors that were never far away from the kitchen staff!! The host Diego was very friendly and accommodating and so were his wife and daughter. The rooms were very clean and comfortable and had everything we needed. The food in the restaurant was delicious and the location was ideal being just a short trip by car from the beach, the city and the freeway. We hope to stay again one day and look forward to being woken up by the sounds made by the donkeys. So much better than any...
