Caffe Diemme In Udine

Udine – a city of cobbled streets and calm energy — hides among its cafés and osterias a small temple of delights: Prosciutteria IE. It’s not just a restaurant, but a tribute to Friulian tradition, where prosciutto takes center stage and every dish tells a story of family, craftsmanship, and passion for authentic flavor. The experience was so delicious that it simply had to be shared: Prosciutteria IE Udine – the place where time tastes like prosciutto. Platters that tell stories The interior is warm and relaxed, with a rustic-modern charm. Solid wood tables, shelves lined with bottles of local wine, and the cheerful energy of the staff create the feeling that you’re having lunch at a friend’s home — an Italian friend who knows how to slice prosciutto so thin it practically dances on your tongue. The stars of the show are, of course, the prosciutto crudo platters: silky slices, perfectly aged, with an intense aroma, served alongside artisanal cheeses, olives, and crispy bread. Every bite strikes a perfect balance between salty, sweet, and creamy. For a complete feast, add a carefully selected Friulian wine to enhance the delicate notes of the meat. We enjoyed a Prosciutto con melone platter and a Prosciutto con burrata — both so exquisite it would be impossible to choose a favorite. More than just prosciutto Although the name says it all, Prosciutteria IE surprises with other dishes too: simple yet memorable pasta, fragrant bruschette with roasted tomatoes and olive oil, and light salads made with seasonal ingredients. Each dish carries that effortless Italian simplicity that wins you over instantly. At Prosciutteria IE Udine, a prosciutto platter never comes alone — it’s always paired with a perfectly balanced Aperol Spritz: chilled sparkling wine, aromatic Aperol, a hint of soda water, and a slice of orange for freshness. Refreshing, slightly bitter, and incredibly friendly, it’s the drink that turns every meal into an Italian celebration. Each sip seems to whisper: la dolce vita begins here! We couldn’t leave Udine without trying Cjarsons, a traditional Friulian dish reimagined here in a hearty version: filled with tender meat, wrapped in homemade dough, and sprinkled with poppy seeds that add a crunchy, subtly sweet note. It’s the kind of dish that blends Friuli’s rustic tradition with unexpected refinement — a combination that wins you over from the first bite. A stop to remember If you find yourself in Udine, a stop at Prosciutteria IE isn’t optional — it’s essential. It’s the kind of place where you eat slowly, savor every slice, and drink wine with the joy of knowing you’re living exactly as you should: with friends close and your plate full. Prosciutteria IE Udine is about more than food. It’s about tradition, conviviality, and that unmistakable Italian feeling that life should be savored patiently — slice by slice.

The waitress couldn't understand what we wanted. We're a Tuscan and a Pugliese who don't speak dialect.

A place, as the name suggests, dedicated to San Daniele prosciutto! A welcoming and informal atmosphere inside (there's a table with four prosciuttos on display!), and outside tables under the porticoes. It's actually a restaurant and bar for aperitifs and snacks. We tried it in its restaurant version and were very satisfied: excellent tagliolini with prosciutto, good-quality Friulian cheeses, a good selection of well-cooked meats. And the desserts also rounded out a tasty and satisfying lunch. The staff deserves a special mention: very kind, welcoming, and particularly friendly. An excellent option for a not-too-expensive but worthwhile lunch right in the center of Udine!

Well-prepared dishes, beautiful location and excellent service 👍👍

Gorgeous place, friendly and quick waiters, excellent value. If we're ever in the area again, we'll definitely be back!

We enjoyed a very good brunch. Coffee, prosecco, prosciutto, croissant, etc.

Disappointing experience in a touristy location. This place is centrally located and seems to cater primarily to tourists who won't become regulars. We ordered "freshly squeezed" orange juice, but it clearly wasn't—it tasted like cheap juice from concentrate, with perhaps a little fresh juice added for the pulp and seeds. The coffee, unfortunately, was the worst we had during our week in Udine. And also the most expensive.

Smelly and dirty bathroom. Good ham.

We were out for a drink, everything is fine.

I've been coming here for years and am still impressed by the attentive and competent service. Perfect for a morning coffee or an evening prosciutto dinner. The prosciutto selection is particularly attractive. In addition to Italian prosciutto, they also offer Spanish prosciutto. The prosciutto can be chosen in a variety of ways, including with pasta or the classic burrata. You can also buy Italian specialties to take home from the shop. In any case, this prosciutteria is worth a culinary stop.
