My wife and I have eaten at Al Gnotul several times. The place is very quaint and exudes Friulian tradition, culture, and hospitality. We've always had a wonderful time. The owners are very kind in their advice and hospitality. They serve simple Friulian cuisine, prepared with great care and simplicity. We've always felt right at home, and this makes us always happy to return. Thank you very much, see you soon.

                First time I had dinner I was very satisfied! I was with locals who took me there! Only the bread they bring you 4 different types of water included in the cover charge, a trio of good first courses, super meat, delicious desserts and plenty of them! I recommend it to everyone because it's worth it!

                Il nostro posto del cuore! One of our go-to comfort spots in Friuli! “Antica Osteria Al Gnotul” (aptly named, as 'al gnotul' translates to 'the bat') is a charming, family-run gem nestled in the village of Rive D'Arcano. Husband-and-wife team Ranieri and Laura lovingly manage the restaurant, dedicated to preserving the rich flavors and traditions of authentic Friulan cuisine. Every visit feels like a warm hug, with hearty dishes that showcase the region's culinary heritage. I highly recommend booking the place in advance!

Great atmosphere with a fireplace!

The food is truly healthy and includes many typical Friulian dishes and more!

                Actually, everything was full, and we didn't have a reservation. But they managed to find a table for the two of us. The service was very friendly, and they even tried to speak German. The food was also very good!

                Excellent little restaurant, with a booking absolutely necessary, because the few tables are normally taken a week in advance. The food is local and absolutely scrumptious. The staff-owners are very charming and the prices are rally affordable. We cannot recommend it enough (we’ve gone twice in one week to try the local plates we were interested in!)
