Alla Ghiacciaia

Udine


In the summer, it's hard to beat the wisteria-shaded terrace of this trattoria which hangs over a canal framed by weeping willows. The menu is simple and local, offering large platters of San Daniele ham and local cheese and cjarsons, a type of Friulano ravioli stuffed with potato, smoked ricotta, herbs, raisins and cinnamon.
