Alla Vedova In Udine

14/10/2025: We are two couples of friends who were returning from Illegio after visiting the exhibition entitled "Wealth: Perennial Dilemma." I must say that we found the true meaning of the word "Wealth" right here, in this Osteria where time seems to have stood still. A delightful place with hospitality, the right atmosphere, and the flavors of local specialties that were expertly recommended to us. The appetizer consisted of a trio of cheeses, polenta brustulada (toasted polenta), and whole salami that you cut yourself, followed by herb cjardons and wild boar on a bed of soft polenta. To round out our self-service lunch, we enjoyed homemade desserts (a tart with berries and a sublime tiramisu). The quality/price ratio was more than fair. We thank the owner and waiter for their impeccable service. We will definitely return.

03/10/2025: Family atmosphere, like in an old-fashioned tavern. Top local cured meats and cheeses! (They bring the salami whole on a cutting board and you can cut as many slices as you like.) I ordered a first course, and the chef (who comes to the table to tell me what's on offer) suggested the caramels filled with Trarassaco and 'buon enrico'—a wild mountain spinach—and cjarsons. The caramels were excellent, but the cjarsons were spectacular, among the best I've ever eaten. The filling was a perfect fusion of a thousand flavors, none overpowering the other. Fantastic. I'll be back soon. Very fair price.
