Trattoria ai Frati

Udine


A popular old-style eatery on a cobbled cul-de-sac where you can expect local specialities such as frico (fried cheese), pumpkin gnocchi with smoked ricotta or, in season, white asparagus and fish stew. It's loved by locals, including the university set, for its whopper steaks and its raucous front bar.
