The Best Seafood Near Al Grop, by the Record
-
Rank 1. Vitello d'Oro
Friulian Seafood
Despite the name, which translates to golden calf, fish runs the show at this old-school Udine restaurant that has been around forever. The room pulls off a neat trick, pairing sober contemporary design with the weight of a place that clearly predates everything around it. The Sabinot family has kept Friulian tradition going for generations, with seafood-forward plates and seasonal vegetables rounding out the menu.

Rank 2. Enoteca di Buttrio
Modern Seafood
-
Rank 3. Campiello
Seafood
A seafood restaurant where the wine cellar runs to 25,000 bottles, heavy on Collio and Colli Orientali labels alongside the kind of large-format bottles that make serious collectors rearrange their plans. The kitchen leans classic, with the day's catch handled simply enough that the fish does the talking. San Giovanni al Natisone sits inland, but the menu reads like the Adriatic is just outside.

Rank 4. Restavracija Calypso
Seafood
Adriatic fish wheeled out tableside is the move at this seafood restaurant inside Nova Gorica's Perla casino and hotel complex. Classical preparations run the show, from raw shellfish through to whole oven-roasted fish, with a nod to the Slovenian hinterland for anyone who wandered in from the slots and wants something from dry land. The Michelin Guide lists it among its selected restaurants.

Rank 6. Ai Campi di Marcello
Seafood
A family-run seafood restaurant in the shadow of the shipyards, in the old Panzano district that was purpose-built to house the workers who built the ships. The room is simple and the portions are generous, in the way that places run by families for a long time tend to be. The menu leans classic fish and seafood, and if you're feeling ambitious, there's a video on hand explaining how to make seafood risotto at home.
