Al Monastero

A fogolar fireplace, the open hearth that defines old Friulian homes, crackles in the most intimate of the dining rooms here, spreading the smell of embers through the stonework. This is a regional trattoria in the old town of Cividale, where goose shows up as a staple rather than an occasion, and the cooking is confident enough not to explain itself. A courtyard opens on sunny days. The Michelin Guide awards it a Bib Gourmand.
