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