18/05/2024: Exceptional Trattoria/Osteria on the outskirts of Udine: beautiful internal and external environment, very enjoyable garden, informal, large but very nice, excellent quality ingredients, cooked well and well served, portions of the right size: between the right amount and slightly abundant, personal courteous but also friendly, wide choice of wines. There were two of us: the chicken thigh was so good that it outclassed everything else, despite being very simple (I devoured it without even adding salt or pepper), tagliatelle with basil pesto sauce, asparagus and bacon... perfect . The place lends itself both to an aperitif, to a midweek lunch (there is also a set menu), and to a romantic dinner. In some sections of the garden, the canal flows near the tables, it is magical to stay there and let yourself be lulled by the sound of the flowing water. Conclusion: highly recommended and ... we will be back!!
15/05/2024: I went with a friend, around 6pm on a weekday. We decided, given the wonderful sunny day, to sit outside. Two tables and chairs were damaged by ants, which shows the lack of care given to the furnishings and to the customers.
The tasting was in line with the reception. Canapés with low quality bread (it would be enough for the bread to be heated to enhance the cured meats, or cold but of excellent quality). Not having enough, we ordered some frico. The frico was visibly burnt to a uniform level, dry and almost tasteless. Overall, the food was terrible while the glasses of wine, the schiopettino and the refosco were very good.
