"we arrived at the hotel ai dogi just an hour and we were looking for a decent place to eat. the restaurant that the hotel was suggested closed (it was a Tuesday night) so we checked tripadvisor and this place came up. we thought it looked...ok and the reviews were pretty good. but we didn't expect us to be as good as we were. I ordered the tagliatelle with chopped pieces bark steak, kirsch tomaten, rucola and parmigiano! I will come back from this dish a few months later! my wife and mother in law are the risotto, which was also very tasty. a part of it would have to be waiting. it took a long time to arrive for the food, but since we were in no hurry, we had to wait on the delicious bread and beat the good house wine while we waited. also the pizza did not look so amazing. we are, however, napoli and have completely different standards for our pizzas:"

"we stayed at the convent for dinner, closed, in a place to renew. excellent meat cutter (the san daniele melted in the mouth) and cheeses (molliccio bread). between he ordered pasta to the courtyard ragù and a tiramisù (small portion), fabio a very essential vegetable soup and a apple pie and I a good marinated salad meat with apple and pistachios. two glasses of local white friulano wine (good). all very standard, even the service."

"one of the few restaurant in the area that explicitly offers vegan food. the place is beautiful, clean and there is a nice atmosphere. vegan options and gluten free options are clearly labelled in the menu and the staff is very competent and kind. the restaurant only or local ingredients and is proud to offer highly digestible pizza. you have a nice variety of vegan options to choose from, sadly the menu has nothing vegan for the second course. i had the “ortolana” pizza with vegan mozzarella and vegetables (tomatoes, peppers, aubergines and courgettes) and the “marinara” pizza (with tomato sauce, garlic and oregano). they were both very tasty, not the best pizza i have ever eaten but absolutelying. the non-vegan mozzarella can be substituted with the vegan one (made by the chef) if you choose a pizza that is not originally vegan. there is also a vegan dessert made with chocolate and fresh fruit and a sorbet. I’m looking forward to eating here again. one of the few restaurants in the area that offers vegan options by explicitly addressing a vegan clientele. Vegan options are clearly indicated in the menu and there is special attention to the specific needs of customers (the menu indicates gluten-free options and all common allergens in individual dishes). the staff is competent, helpful and kind. the restaurant uses local and organic ingredients and is proud to propose a special dough for the highly digestible pizzas (confirm). all pizzas the non vegan mozzarella can be replaced with rice mozzarella made by the chef. the menu offers different vegan options to choose from, but zero seconds unfortunately. I tried orthoana pizza (with rice mozzarella and tomatoes, peppers, eggplants and zucchini) and the classic marinara (I ate more tasty, but also this was not disappointing at all). the pizzas were thin but satisfying. not the best I have ever eaten, but they were both very good, especially the orthoana. the menu also offers a vegan dessert with chocolate and fruit, as well as a sorbet. the place has a young look, nice, clean and very pleasant to the view. I will definitely come back to eat here, very recommended."
