 Historic coffee shop in the heart of Borgo Teresiano |
Via Dante, 14 Trieste 34122 Italy +39 40 63 2742 |
Opened in 1867, this place is in a splendid location on the canal, near the great church of Sant'Antonio Nuovo and the Orthodox Serbian church of San Spiridione. It was destroyed in 1915 by anti-Italian demonstrators even though it was popular with shopkeepers and intellectuals of the German colony. It has recently been completely renovated and returned to its former elegance and it has a well looked after, sophisticated atmosphere. It is near the Piazza dell'Unita d'Italia, in the heart of the old Teresiano area, which was the favourite of the Empress Maria Teresa of Austria and has now become a small Chinatown and a meeting place for the Serbian community in Trieste. As well as coffee and tea, this place also offers excellent ice cream and fruit with cream. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Exclusive during the day and lively hangout at night |
Piazza della Borsa, 15 Trieste 34121 Italy +39 40 36 5812 |
This place has been going since 1863 opposite the historic Teatro Verdi. It moved at the beginning of last century and reopened in the exclusive gallery on the Piazza della Borsa. This is a luxurious and tranquil place that offers respite from the cold north-east winds of the city. There is a radical change in clientèle at night, when the smartly dressed ladies are replaced by noisy, university students. There is also a Dj and therefore this is the place to stop off at before a night of clubbing. Amongst the food and drink on offer, as well as coffee and tea, there is a wide range of excellent pastries, sandwiches, toasts and elaborate cocktails at night. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Looking over the extraordinary piazza |
