2018 Review: Excellent meat menu, knowledgeable, friendly, and kind staff. I'll be back even though it's not cheap. 2019 Update: The pizza was very dry, it looked like it had a frozen base: you'd need a saw to cut it, and it arrived in 10 minutes🤐 even when the place was full... As a restaurant, it works, so forget about the pizza. 2026 Update: I went back for pizza. Excellent! Nice atmosphere and friendly staff. Good first and second courses, and the pizza too! The outdoor courtyard is perfect on summer evenings.

"Al Gelso Restaurant and Pizzeria confirms its position as one of the most dynamic, beloved, and viral establishments in the Udine gastronomic scene. Combining the authenticity of Friulian cuisine with top-notch pizza, this restaurant has become a true reference point for those seeking substance, flavor, and generous portions. The menu offers the best of both worlds: on the one hand, rich first courses, succulent meats, and the great local classics, expertly executed; on the other, a fragrant pizza, well-leavened and topped with carefully selected ingredients. The atmosphere is always lively, convivial, and welcoming, ideal for both dinners with friends and informal evenings of good food."

I went to Al Gelso for a Vasco concert. The food was excellent, top-quality meat, and the service was excellent. The atmosphere was very nice. The price was more than excellent. I highly recommend it. Thank you so much.

Excellent lunch, we didn't know this place. We had a wonderful lunch. They also helped us celebrate a surprise birthday at the same time. Thank you, you were perfect.

Pizzeria and restaurant in the heart of the city's historic center, with spacious and comfortable interiors and outdoor seating in the back with a retractable roof in case of rain. Excellent pizzas, tasty and easy to digest. The first and second courses, featuring meat or fish, are always top-quality, as are the desserts. The excellent selection of grilled meats is special. Reasonable prices. The staff is always friendly and knowledgeable. Suitable for all occasions, from a family outing to a dinner with friends or colleagues.

A huge, fantastic selection of meats, absolutely top quality. Grilled to perfection, just the way you like it. The best pizza I've had there in a long time. A beautifully decorated pizzeria/osteria. The tables are perhaps a little close together, but understandable given how busy it is. Reservations are recommended.
