What to try in isole
The arrangement of Isola imposes an imprint on local culinary traditions. First, Italy's proximity: local cuisine is an amazing mixture of Italian and Slovenian trends. Second, the Adriatic Sea, which is a supplier of fresh fish and seafood, one of the most important ingredients of seaside cuisine. All this gives a stunning symbiosis of flavors and aroma, enjoying which you can in local restaurants, pizzerias and cafes.
