The owners are a very nice lot, talkative, funny, willing to explain their dishes and traditions to everyone who's not familiar with this hidden corner of Italy (like me). The atmosphere is very relaxed, cosy, a bit like grandmother's living room. Everything is home made here, including the bread and the fantastic lingue di suocera (a type of grissini). At alla Frasca you will be able to sample the traditional Friuli fare, but they proudly define themselves as a porcini mushroom-specialised restaurant. The porcini menu was AMAZING: grilled porcini on a skewer, porcini with polenta and cheese sauce, tagliatelle with porcini sauce. The wine selection is good too, try the local Cabernet-Franc. Cividale is a very pretty town to visit, full of history and monuments. If you chose to wander off here, make sure you visit Alla Frasca.

1 star Very…read moredisappointing experience, especially considering the price. I ordered the €46 lobster dish, which was presented on the menu as one of the main dishes. When I asked about it, I was told that it was actually a salad. There was no clear indication of this when I was choosing from the menu. For €46, I expected a substantial lobster dish. Instead, what arrived was essentially a normal salad with tomatoes and onions and only a tiny amount of lobster -- more like a few small shreds than actual pieces of lobster. For the most expensive main dish on the menu, the portion and quality were extremely disappointing. Unfortunately, the experience was made worse by the bill. We specifically said that we did not want additional bread, but we were still charged for it, and we were charged €10 for bread. There was also a cover charge that I felt should have been removed given the circumstances. The bread and cover charge are not even the main issue for me. The real problem is paying €46 for what turned out to be a very ordinary salad with a tiny amount of lobster. For Udine, where I would normally expect good-quality food at a reasonable price, this was a major disappointment. I remember the previous owners doing a much better job. Based on my experience today, I would not recommend this restaurant and would advise others to be careful when ordering the expensive dishes. MT
