 Small trattoria |
Via Diacono, 5 Trieste 34137 Italy +39 40 760 0340 |
Al Dardo Rosso is situated in a small, dark street in the heart of San Giacomo, but don't let yourself be put off by the area or by the iron door entrance, which seems as though it should belong to an old, run down pub. Be assured that if you decide to try out this little restaurant, you will fall in love with it. The only drawback is the parking, it is extremely difficult to find a place. The atmosphere is warm, pleasant and welcoming. Mara, the waitress, and her husband Giorgio Benedetti, who is always busy in the kitchen, will make you feel at home. This restaurant is suitable for all occasions, for business lunches and dinners or evenings out with your friends. It is best to book as there are only forty places and they go quickly.

Panoramic restaurant |
Scala Sforzi, 2 Trieste 34136 Italy +39 40 41 0092 |
This restaurant is located at the foot of the imposing Vittoria lighthouse, facing the gulf, and is the place to try some good seafood dishes and excellent wines. This eatery has great business, mainly due to the desirable location and the resoluteness of the owner, Franco Eichberger, who recently took over the running of this establishment. Now the restaurant has become one of the most highly appreciated places to spend the evening for people of all ages. The terrace is splendid with great views, and can hold around sixty people. The interior is rather less inspiring, having remained the same as it always was. The restaurant is perfect for birthday parties, wedding receptions and christening parties and is also open at lunchtime. Situated on the Friuli road which leads up to Trieste's high plains, it takes about 10-15 minutes to get to the restaurant by car from the city center, and therefore abounds in parking space. The service is friendly and the dishes are simple, but of many different types, ranging from squid in marie rose sauce to sole, from sea-bass in batter to shellfish, and even including some old local specialties. There is rarely any meat except in exceptional circumstances and on request. The wine cellar is very well-stocked thanks to the efforts of the wine waiter, Signor Raimondo, the owner's brother. The recommended sweet, a chocolate or jam swiss roll, should be tried. Review © 2007, Wcities |

High class restaurant |
Riva Grumula, 32 Trieste 34123 Italy +39 40 30 3899 |
Al Nuovo Antico Pavone was renovated and relocated a few years ago (hence the name nuovo - new). It is situated on Trieste's shore and offers excellent service and one of the best fish menus in the whole of the city. There is a room which is separate from the rest of the restaurant with space for 10 people, this can be booked for business dinners or special occasions. The restaurant has a small terrace with around 30 places, however it faces onto quite a busy road, even in the evening. In reality you just get used to it, certain delicacies can make you forget everything else. You should try the tagliolini with mullet roe and the pappardelle with scampi and rocket, the best dish in the restaurant in our opinion. For the second course don't miss out on the turbot with lemon. The Catalan cream is extraordinary, the wine list pretty good. To sum it all up, you will go home feeling very satisfied, and the extra lire you may have spent will be worth it. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Since the last century, a temple of Trieste gastronomy |
Via Comici, 2 Trieste 34128 Italy +39 40 5 4368 |
This is one of the city's marvels, a temple of gastronomy, a monument, a point of reference: it would be a sin not to eat here if you are in Trieste. The atmosphere is refined, the service praiseworthy. Inside, there is seating for more than 100, and more in the garden. The cuisine is central European with local and modern influences. Among the favorites are the truffle fondue, veal shank, ham in pastry, and the Risotto alle Erbe del Carso. Among the desserts, the Semifreddo di Papa and the chocolate soufflé are sensational. The wine list offers everything and prices are reasonable. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Trieste Italy |
This is the commercial heart of the city, situated around ten minutes from the sea. It is characterised by numerous office blocks, fashion boutiques, chaotic traffic and a frenetic pace. From Via Carducci, Via Milano and Via Battisti to Via Valdirivo and Via Fabio Severo (where you will find the Court of Law and the prison)--you will waste precious time caught between traffic lights. An exception is the Viale XX Settembre--a beautiful tree-lined avenue which runs for several kilometres. Along here you will find over half of the cinemas in Trieste as well as a number of excellent ice cream parlours. At the bottom of this street, in the direction of Longera stands the Review © 2007, Wcities |

Trieste Italy |
This is a small town (one of six) which lies around ten kilometres from the centre of Trieste. It is a seaside town with a strong fishing tradition, and was the last fortification before the state border. It has recently been completely restructured and contains features which are reminiscent of the istroveneto period. Take a walk through its narrow streets, past the fishing boats, which are anchored in its beautiful port. The shops are small and relatively modest, but life here is still extremely pleasant. To get here by sea, you need simply set sail in the opposite direction of Venice. Frenetic building work is now taking place where the glorious shipyards of San Rocco once stood. A giant tourist complex is being built; this will comprise of hundreds of moorings for boats, hotels, sports centres, restaurants and apartments. Review © 2007, Wcities |

The cake shop where James Joyce had breakfast |
Largo Barriera Vecchia, 12 Trieste 34131 Italy +39 40 63 6046 |
This small cake shop has earned its place in the history books from being one of Italy's oldest , but more importantly because between 1910 and 1914 the Irish author, James Joyce, who wrote Ulysses and Dubliners, had breakfast here every morning whilst teaching English at a nearby school. The atmosphere is refined yet cozy (the area spans only a few meters square) and you will feel like you have gone back in time. At the back is a small door that leads to the kitchen where the excellent sweets are prepared. This is Barriera, practically the town center, a few meters from Via Carducci and Corso Italia, streets for shoppers and strollers. When visiting here, it makes a lot more sense to leave the car behind. Having breakfast here is always a great pleasure, although there is nowhere to sit. Drinking excellent coffee you can devour excellent Austro-Hungarian cakes and local specialties such as the honey Ptizzi or the Presnitz (whose shape brings to mind Christ's crown of thorns), the Pinze, the marzipan, the pink nougat, the Trieste honeycomb with almonds, chocolate and rose syrup and the extraordinary cream cakes. So good because they are all made in a special way. Service is always very courteous. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Val Rosandra lies to the east, somewhere between Muggia and Trieste. It is the most beautiful and evocative corner of the Carso and consists of the extraordinary valley which has been carved out by the Rosandra river. For those who live locally, this is an ideal place for spiritual retreats as well as for spending relaxing Sunday afternoons in the summer. It is spot not to miss, where you will be able to go on delightful walks and take in enchanting views. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Artistic restaurant |
Via Giuliani, 36 Trieste 34137 Italy +39 40 76 4543 |
This is yet another jewel of Trieste's gastronomy hidden, at least externally, by an ugly exterior. It is located on a very unpromising street, on the edge of one of the city's working class districts, San Giacomo. However this restaurant, although it is not particularly well known, is probably one of the ten best restaurants in the city for its refinement and excellent cooking. Don't be fooled by the entrance, it is something else inside. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Restaurant dedicated to Laurel and Hardy |
Viale XX Settembre, 59 Trieste 34126 Italy +39 40 57 7744 |
Everything in this small restaurant on Trieste's ancient aqueduct, including books, brochures and posters, is dedicated to the two comedians, Laurel and Hardy. The owners even look like them: one thin and the other rather large. The interior is small and quiet, and you eat by candlelight. The cooking is very creative with great attention to detail. The best dish is sliced horse meat, next on the list, the Roman gnocchetti with cream, salami and Pecorino cheese. The desserts are all made in the restaurant. The wine list is good.
