Located in the heart of Cividale del Friuli, the Al Monastero restaurant was a key landmark for locals—under the management of Tilde, Tite, and Dina—back in the early 20th century, when it was known as *La Speranza*. It was a place for games (such as the famous *cotecio*), pranks, and legendary drinking sessions beside the open hearth (*fogolar*), but above all, it was renowned for dinners shared among hunters, groups of regulars, and friends. Al Monastero was established in 1990 by Giuseppe Pavan; the building retains its traditional character and is divided into small, warm, and welcoming dining rooms. At the entrance, there is a serving counter offering wines by the glass, sourced primarily from the family estate. A small dining room featuring a hearth that stays lit throughout the winter months. A room adorned with a fresco of Bacchus, the God of Wine. An outdoor courtyard for warm summer evenings. A dining room furnished in rustic Friulian style, perfect for hosting ceremonies and special occasions. The menu always highlights seasonal ingredients, but the signature dishes include: Appetizers: Montasio cheese strudel First courses: *Cialcions del Monastero*, *Maltagliati* pasta with duck ragù Main courses: *Tournedos del Monastero* If you are looking for good food and fine wine in a warm, welcoming atmosphere that caters to dietary needs, Al Monastero is the perfect choice for you.
