Agli Amici Friuli-Venezia Giulia

Agli Amici sits on Via Liguria, a ten-minute walk from the bustle of Piazza Libertà. It holds two Michelin stars, was ranked 22nd in 50 Top Italy, and sits at number 48 on La Liste. The room runs smart and elegant, serving a creative Italian menu that balances traditional roots with unconventional techniques.

Most visitors head for the city centre, but Agli Amici offers a more precise experience for those willing to venture slightly further out. While the surrounding streets are residential and quiet, the kitchen’s performance remains bolder than the competition near the Castello di Udine. It is a more rigorous meal than the casual trattorias nearby, making it the choice for diners who value technical polish over proximity to the tourist trail.
