Trattoria Ai Frati is one of the oldest inns in Udine.
The building that houses it appears in the city's building records as far back as 1250
and stands in the little Antonini square, opposite one of the most important
Palladian palaces in the city. All the more reason to savour every dish
as if it were a long love story with the land and with the quality
of time spent in good company.

Antica Trattoria Ai Frati is not a traditional trattoria,
but a contemporary Friulian table. Here the memory of regional
cooking, the fish of the lagoon, Italy's great products and one of the most
important wine lists in Friuli Venezia Giulia all come together.
