Aquila Nera In Udine

24/03/2024: An evening as a couple with friends at Elliot Osteria in Manzano, province of Udine, proved to be an unforgettable experience from all points of view. Located on the hills full of vineyards, this spacious and welcoming venue extends over two floors, with a predominance of wood that blends with a refined elegance. The attentive staff welcomed us warmly and presented us with a very clear menu card, opening the doors to an unforgettable Friulian gastronomic journey. We started with a tasting of San Daniele Camarin raw ham accompanied by sublime pickles, followed by a toç in braide with well-presented and tasty cheese, and then the herb-crusted musetto on soft polenta and kren, a real delight. For the first courses, the asparagus risotto with dehydrated speck delighted the palate with its delicacy, while the Carnia cjarsons with herbs and smoked Malga ricotta represented an explosion of authentic and delicious flavours. The excellent beef fillet confirmed the high quality of the dishes offered. The desserts gave a final touch of class, with the fresh mandarin and punch ice cream, and the sublime apple rose with honey and cinnamon on a bed of Chantilly cream as well as the spectacular chocolate sphere filled with Torri Fino semifreddo and hot toffee sauce , which ended the evening in a memorable way. Elliot Osteria is a treasure chest on the Manzano hills, where Friulian cuisine is enhanced in every dish. The attentive and kind staff, the welcoming atmosphere and the balanced quality-price ratio make this place an excellent choice. Passed with full marks.
