Welcome to
Trattoria il gabbiano Quality and Tradition since 1913 In the following pages you will find: a creative menu featuring original and seasonal recipes; a tasting menu with our classic dishes and most popular; the list of our traditional dishes. Trattoria il gabbiano adheres to the “Alliance between chefs and Slow Food Presidi” The Alliance is a great supportive network where chefs together and make a pact with the producers of Slow Food Presidi, pledging to cook and promote their products. The chefs combine the pleasure to achieve great dishes and responsibilities relating to those who produce raw materials. For a good food, but also genuine, natural and clean. And not only just, respectful of those who produced, grown, grown.
Presidia are Slow Food projects that work to protect small-scale producers and to safeguard quality, traditional products. To learn more visit www.presidislowfood.it The Presidia which, in turn, we propose in our menu are: - Culatello di Zibello (PR) of Podere Cadassa; culatello is a sort of Parma ham more precious, typical of Zibello, a little town in Parma lands; - Sale marino integrale di Cervia (RA) of Salina di Cervia; sea salt of Cervia, a little town in Romagna; - Sardina essiccata tradizionale del lago d'Iseo (BS) of Danilo Baiguini; dried sardine with traditional method typical of Iseo lake; - Bottarga di Orbetello (GR) of the Coop.

“One evening, Jonathan took all his courage in hand, and came to the Elder Gull. - Chiang, this world isn't heaven at all, is it? - You are learning again, Jonathan Seagull. – he said. - Well, what happens from here? Where are we going? Is there no such place as heaven? - No, Jonathan, there is no such place. Heaven is not a place, and it is not a time. Heaven is being perfect. You will begin to touch heaven, Jonathan, in the moment that you touch perfect speed. And that isn't flying a thousand miles an hour, or a million, or flying the speed of light. Because any number is a limit, and per fection doesn't have limits. Perfect speed, my son, is being there.” (Richard Bach, Jonathan Livingston Seagull)
