A historic establishment, run with passion

The building that once housed the Odeon Cinema, situated in the heart of Udine, is a symbol of prestige and history in the city.

Built in the 1920s, the building has played a significant role in Udine’s cultural life, initially hosting film screenings that entertained generations of local residents. Over the years, the building has become a symbol of neoclassical architecture in the region, retaining its original charm despite the changes it has undergone over time.

Today, the building is home to a variety of cultural and gastronomic activities, including our renowned restaurant, which continues to celebrate its history and offer a unique setting for guests under the uninterrupted leadership of Modesto Vigorito. A Friulian by adoption, originally from the province of Salerno, Modesto has been managing the Odeon with care and dedication for 30 years.

He is driven by a passion for hospitality and the culture of fine dining.

What people say about us

Filippo M.

The years may go by, but the quality of the food, the cleanliness of the restaurant, the warm welcome and the friendly service are always guaranteed. Top!

Alessandra G.

Friendliness and expertise: I sensed a high level of professionalism. The service was prompt and the waiter’s attentiveness made me feel pampered and well looked after. My dining companions had pizza, whilst I had a slice of fresh tuna – cooked to perfection! I must say, it might just be the best tuna I’ve ever eaten! The restaurant is well-kept and the plants are real. We’ll definitely be back in the warmer months to enjoy the outdoor seating ☺️

Tommaso P.

The Odeon pizzeria is not only an institution in Udine but also the perfect place for lunch or dinner on any occasion. As well as its excellent pizza, the restaurant is also worth a mention, particularly for its fish dishes. The Odeon perfectly embodies its owner, Modesto Vigorito – a name that truly speaks for itself. He is someone who, whilst working personally in the restaurant with great professionalism, always finds time for a smile, a kind word, a helpful suggestion or a piece of advice. For several decades now, Modesto has been welcoming and looking after generations of Udine locals and tourists, who find in him a culinary promise that is always kept.

Luisa V.

Whether it’s a pizza or a meal with family or friends, the Odeon remains my favourite restaurant! Let them advise you… the waiter is friendly and attentive. He’s always on hand to recommend the best dishes on the menu. A cosy restaurant with fabric tablecloths that are always spotless. The owner is always courteous and always tries to sort you out a table, even at the last minute. The pizzas are excellent and the local beers are very good!
