Hostaria AL Fari Vecjo In Udine

11/07/2025: The food is decent but not in line with the price, which is decidedly high (a second course without any particular boasting ranges from €25 to €35). The portions are sufficient in terms of quality and decent in terms of quantity. The cuisine is very simple (sauces and gravies are decidedly basic and not particularly imaginative) and the presentation is not well-groomed. The San Daniele ham does not shine for its sweetness as one would expect from a restaurant in the area where it is actually produced, but it is completely the same as any other served in the province. Leaving aside the €4/person cover charge and the €3 coffee each, the general impression is that of being squeezed like lemons to compensate for the “privilege” of being in San Daniele. The restaurant is furnished without any coherence, and with recycled elements, so much so that the tablecloths are simply window curtains with buttonholes for the rod. There is a general sense of disorder, between crates leaning sideways on a freezer, scattered fans, mismatched glasses, which culminates in the labyrinth that must be faced to reach the toilets (quite clean, that's for sure); rooms shared - in some way - with a hotel. The waitress, the only completely positive note, is polite and helpful.
