Mantica Bar Caffetteria In Udine

26/08/2025: After reading the mixed reviews, we wanted to form our own opinion, so the four of us went here for dinner. The welcome was friendly, and we were able to choose our table. The menu is fish-focused, although other pasta dishes, meat dishes, and pizzas are also offered. A striking feature was the asterisk for "contains frozen food" on many dishes. So, we ordered a fish dish with the word "contains frozen food," a fish dish, a pasta and zucchini dish, and a "hamburger with fries." The drinks we ordered arrived quickly and perfectly chilled. The main courses followed what felt like only ten minutes later and were visually appealing. The "hamburger" turned out to be a beef patty without anything else. Upon inquiry, we were told that the restaurant doesn't serve "sandwiches or sandwiches." It would be good to simply describe it differently on the menu! The spaghetti al frutti di mare was labeled "tender pasta" with a flavorful sauce and a well-cooked seafood mix. The spaghetti vongole (without the "tender" label) was also firm to the bite, but the dish was heavy on the salt. The zucchini noodles were good, but we would have preferred a larger portion. For dessert, we ordered three homemade tiramisu and a panne cotta, which is definitely a top-notch dessert! In conclusion: Not everything was perfect, but I can't quite understand some of the very negative reviews.

15/08/2025: I think the prices are a bit too high.
