I have been coming to BEFeD for over two decades and this is their #1 location, to which I am particularly attached because it was a beloved hanging out spot while I was dating my now husband. Over the years, not much has changed: their chicken is still one of the best we have ever had and the beer tastes as great. Prices have gone up but the quality has not suffered. I would recommend trying their "tagliere"- a board made of local charcuterie which is delicious and the great complement to a cold glass of beer. read more

Good atmosphere, quick service! They had meues in Italian & English (very helpful!) the staff was nice and the food was good. Nice stop for a quick bite read more

No. BEFeD seems like a chain-restaurant-style restaurant with food that is greasy and overcooked. That's fine if you like chain-restaurant-style food, but it was too greasy and heavy for my taste. The staff aren't very attentive (even when there are only a few tables seated). So, short and sweet. Thumbs down. read more

Visiting Italy this was super fun. Cocktails. Chicken is amazing. Outside area is fantastic. I'd go back in a heartbeat if plane tickets cheaper read more

BEFed's was a staple for us while living in Italy! Especially this original location in Aviano. The staff here was ALWAYS friendly, even during the midst of a global pandemic! One waiter in particular always looked for my son to playfully argue what soccer team was best. Lol. When you go to BEFed's it is simply a known fact that you get the chicken and fries!! And ask for an extra white sauce, trust me!! Part of the fun and tradition is that they also don't provide you with utensils. Grab a yummy house brewed beer and a handful of peanuts while you wait. read more

BEFeD - What BEFed's is known for! Their chicken and fries!! - Pubs Near Me - Aviano, PN

We decided to go here while on vacation after it was recommended highly from the nearby Military base. Their menu is kind of small but we both got the BeFed chicken. They don't give you a fork to eat this particular meal with, but they have pastas so I'm sure they have utensils in the building. The chicken is a small whole chicken (I posted pics), that comes with fries, a slice of toast, and their own homemade sauce. I also tried a small glass of their blonde beer. The chicken was so hot and fresh, we had to wait about 5 minutes until we ate it. The seasonings on the chicken was superb. The fries were super hot, and very tasty. The toast complimented the chicken, and the sauce was very good also. I used it for my chicken and fries! The blonde beer was so light and refeshing. The ambience of the restaurant is nice. We sat outside on their patio, and had a view of the mountains. They have a playground in front for kids, with a picnic table also. They have a place where you can stand and eat peanuts, and throw the shells on the floor. They also have a window to look through the kitchen at how the chicken is roasted. So after this amazing review, why do I only give them a 3 do you ask? Because of the service. We walked in and all the employees were just hanging around the bar, looking at us and speaking italian. Our server sat us, and returned a few minutes later to take our order. We were the only people in the restaurant because they had just opened. She never returned. A man brought our food to us. We had to get up and go into the restaurant for condiments, and we never got refills. We also had to go back in the restaurant to get our check and pay. So the only time someone came out to us is to take our order, and bring our food! Unexceptable. You can have a nice looking establishment, with great food and drinks, but without customer service you have nothing. read more

After a fantastic day of site seeing our daughter, who was our tour guide said it was a must to go to BEFeD for dinner. We all enjoyed their beer (Being a brewery- it is beer only) and delicious chicken with fries. Service was good as was the meal. Also a good alternative from all of the pasta. read more

I live in the area and I had the opportunity to go often, the cockerel is really the best! I love their special sauce, which combined with grilled vegetables is phenomenal. Clearly, the choice on the menu does not go far beyond these dishes, but I am of the opinion that you can eat a club sandwich anywhere, a good cockerel not. I much prefer to take it away, because the place is always full, and the music is always very loud and annoying, and I find it impossible to enjoy a dinner there. But I have a different opinion if you are aiming for dinners with many people, because they have the possibility of having large tables and in such great company the noise goes into the background. read more

Aviano is a small village lost in the middle of nowhere where the USA has settled a military base. However, this kind of breweries gathers a lot of people and makes this town a little bit more alive ! First of all, you always need to book by phone in order to get a table. Then, you must know that this place is always crowded and that you can't even hear yourself speaking. Indeed, the music is really loud. In other words, you must appreciate this atmosphere, specific to the BEFeD. Besides, there are those peanuts all over the place, mostly on the ground. Indeed, it is a habit to take a handful of those at the entrance and eat them before ordering. The staff is really kind and they are mostly young. They work fast and understand fast. Eventually, if you think about going there, the dish you must choose is the Galletto Vallespluga. It is a spicy half a chicken served with french fries on top of grilled bread and tartar sauce. It is really tasty. Take note that you don't receive any cutlery, that is part of the game ! Enjoy ! read more

When in Aviano this is a typical destination for Americans and their guests, but its more about the thought of comfort food than good food. The business is always busy, so if you plan to go, go early. And if your with a large group, plan ahead. The menu is very small, but most guests are there for the chicken, fries and special sauce. The chicken is usually dry and very salty, but since the place is a brewery they have some of the best local brews in the area. Fun place to have a few beers and some laughs with friends. read more

Aviano doesn't offer many great options as far as good food is concerned. BeFed is one of the few pleasant exceptions, therefore it is constantly packed with locals as well as a sizeable ammount of Americans (due to the proximity to the USAF Air Base). The king of the castle is the roasted free - range chicken. Some Americans would find it on the smaller size, i actually find it to be perfect in size, seasoning and cooked to perfection. Though the service may often be lacking, the rustic do, the great food and the loud and proud company make up for it. Their bruschetta options are quite good, their beer is amazing!!! I personally would recommend it if you happen to be hungry and willing to wait a bit. if you want to park, avoid the weekend between 9 and 11 PM... you will need a miracle read more

The best chicken.

We went here on a Friday night for dinner around 8PM. It was pretty busy so the waitress was kind of in a hurry. It's understandable considering this is a brewery/pub style restaurant. The menu is short and sweet. My hubby and I got the BeFed( pronounced Buhfed) chicken. The chicken is so fresh and HOT! I hate cold food so this was a plus. The flavor was very complimenting and overall was a good way to fill the tummy. read more

They serve chicken and do it well! It's seasoned and grilled in a rotisserie. Served hot and delicious! They make their own beer too, the red is better in my opinion. The grilled vegetables are great too! Casual laid back type of place to enjoy some food. read more

It's great! I've been to a few 'going away' parties here and I've only tried the chicken. It was a very convenient location, great parking, and very family friendly! If you are looking for a restaurant to just chill in and have a casual Americanized meal, look no further. In short: Beefeds is a great family establishment and is very convenient! read more

This is a neat place if you like fried chicken. The setting is very American style. However, the music is so loud it doesn't make for a good time. I've eaten here twice and won't go back. The dessert isn't anything special. Drinks are the best best for this place. Service was good and the staff was friendly that's definitely a plus. read more
