OMG if only the city where I live (outside of Italian borders) had a place like this.
Alla Frasca is a family run business for four generations. 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.
