The trattoria Ai Frati is one of the oldest inns in Udine.
The building that houses it appears in the city's architectural records since 1250
and is located in Piazzetta Antonini, facing one of the most important
Palladian palaces in the city. One more reason to savour every dish
as if it were a long love story for the land and for the quality
of time spent in good company.
