From the US, We just visited Udine in early April 2016 and decided to try Ristorante Abbazia because of reading travel reviews. My husband and I had such a good time here and loved our dinner. The recommendations were great, starting with a shellfish appetizer - a great beginning to our meal. We then had two different varieties of fresh fish - both excellent! If you're going to eat seafood, this is exactly how it should be. We finished sharing a dessert and a bit of limoncello - and then more limoncello. Our service was great - I think his name was Milan. A fun time, and we'd surely go back again and again.
Let the maitre suggest you what to get (he usually suggests what's fresh of the day). You will usually end up to get stuffed of good fish for about 30-35 euros.
We walked in for an early dinner (around 7pm) and by the time we left it was full and turning people away. No wonder - it's a great seafood restaurant and incredibly good value. The restaurant provides menus in several languages including English and German, but we put ourselves in the hands of the lovely waiter and certainly didn't regret it. The two of us shared a huge plate of shellfish in tomato broth to start: mussels, clams, razor clams, langoustine to name a few. It was fresh and tasty and simply prepared. This was followed by what the waiter described as "grilled fish" but included not just a whole grilled fish, deboned and served at the table, but also prawns, some tiny whole fried fish, baby squid, a fish steak of some sort... we couldn't finish it! Some of it was a little over-salted, but this is a minor complaint: it really was delicious. There's a help-yourself salad bar which is ok - fresh but not particularly interesting. With a half litre of wine our bill totaled EUR77.
I had a splendid dinner enjoying the excellent food for very reasonable price. Extraordinary and friendly staff.
