Al Portello - UDINE

Great place to sit out in the square or inside if weather not good. Friendly very pleasant staff. Bravi.

The outdoor seating area of Bar Al Portello is tucked away behind a large newspaper stand on Piazza San Giacomo, close to the church. As Piazza San Giacomo is our favorite square in Udine, we selected this time Bar Al Portello for a sit-down with a coffee and a mineral water and watching Udine street life. The coffee was good and prices at bar Al Portello are very reasonable, but when we compared the bill with the menu prices it turned out, that a bottle of 0.25 l water was served for the price of a bottle of 0.50 l. When we drew the attention of the water to this discrepancy, he offered to exchange the bottle, but took a very long time to do this. To give the benefit of the doubt I hope that it was a genuine mistake. To place this occurrence in perspective: Many tall tales of tourist fleecing in Italy are around, but we almost always encounter in Italy honesty to a fault.

I went to this place after years to get him to know my dear friend of the Oregon. sympathy and welcome managed to amaze adventure abroad! exquisite American selection and outstanding Bolgheri! recommended recommended

A nice bar, decorated with stuccos, pleasant until the quite noisy groups of young people arrived for aperitif.
