Papillo has all the advantages. A large free parking area, indoor and outdoor tables, and what is most important, the pizzaiola prepares a terrific pizza in his wood fired oven. And not only the pizzas are delicious, we found also that their dessert profiteroles pistacchio was to die for. And what then is holding me back for a five point rating, dear TA friends? That is the problem, which the new management, who took over Papillo a couple of years ago, hasn't solved yet, that the waiting times increase to Biblical proportions when too many tables fill up with customers. A luxury problem you would say, but a long waiting time distract from a good experience.

Long wait for an average quality meal. If you are in for a quick bite look for other options or if you really want to visit do not order a pizza. read more Long wait for an average quality meal.

Right on the SS13 just south of Tarvisio city, ample parking in front, a nice outdoor sit-down area behind the building, top class pizza, made by a top-class pizzaiola ; also the other dishes on the menu are prepared with care and dedication in the kitchen.

Yes, in 2018 nothing had changed at Papillo and this restaurant stays our first choice for pizza in the Friuli. Oh, the Profiteroles dessert was also delicious!
