 Comfortable, delicious restaurant for romantic evenings |
Via Commerciale, 134 Trieste 34134 Italy +39 40 42 2962 |
This is a small, not very well-known restaurant but nevertheless delicious. The Colle di Scorcola along the hilly Via Commerciale seats around 50 and offers a menu base don fish and meat, repeated again and again. Comfortable and quiet the restaurant also boasts of lovely gardens, from which you can catch a glimpse of the sea. The dishes are innovative, fresh and appetising, with many starters and vegetables, fried fish, frico, meat pasta and specialities using colt meat. The wine list is satisfactory, but people really come here for the food and the atmosphere. This is the ideal place for a romantic evening à deux. Review © 2007, Wcities |

A place to escape from the norm |
Via Rossini, 8/d Trieste 34132 Italy +39 40 347 6286 |
Along the Via Rossini, the road that looks over a small, ancient canal, not far from the shore, we find this pleasant venue offering a menu that is somewhat out of the ordinary. In a quiet, refined atmosphere, there are plenty of seafood specialities, mostly typically Venetian. You will not be disappointed with the bread pudding or fresh fruit salad, seafood ravioli and other unusual delicacies. Open till late, they offer aperitifs and excellent fantasy cocktails during the day. In the evening, there is background music. It is ideal for after the cinema or theatre but also after a meal simply for a sociable drink. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Themost original and innovative place in Trieste in recent years |
Via della Fornace, 1 Trieste 34131 Italy +39 40 30 9606 |
Among the rich panorama of Trieste restaurants this is perhaps the most innovative and original in recent years. And to understand why you only have to look at the name. Here, you won't find main courses or desserts, just fish-based starters. There is a variety of seafood snacks with different sauces and you will not be disappointed as there is something for all tastes. You will enjoy a satisfying, mouth-watering meal without incurring a hefty bill. The atmosphere is both refined and informal, and among the wines there is an excellent white on tap of Friulian origin. It is also easy to get to: l'Antipastoteca can be reached on foot from the Castle and Cathedral of San Giusto next to the Red Cross on Piazza Sovino. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Innovative cuisine |
Via dell'Eremo, 243 Trieste 34142 Italy +39 40 91 0979 |
This old trattoria has been turned into a contemporary restaurant. The 3 Magnoni is one of the most popular restaurants in the city today. The interior is designed to look like a mountain hut, and there is a large garden outside. Both meat and fish dishes are served here, and they vary according to the seasons and the chef's imagination. The cuisine is innovative, and not at all traditional: you can start with cod with clams and truffles, and move on to "sardoni" (small flavorsome fish) pie, and then fried fish. During the winter, meat tends to play a larger role in the menu - you should try the sliced horse, mule, or buffalo, the veal "carpaccio", the bread gnocchi with mule stew, or the smoked pork shank. The Collio wines are excellent - Collio is a hill zone in the province of Gorizia, a few kilometres from Trieste. The dishes are sophisticated and the portions aren't huge, however the food is definitely worth trying. Review © 2007, Wcities |

A mixture of food from Trieste and Lombardy |
Via Cadorna, 14 Trieste 34124 Italy +39 40 30 0131 |
This restaurant is located near Piazza dell'Unità d'Italia. Lombard and local cuisine are sucessfully mixed here to create delicious smells and tastes. The dishes include fish or meat depending on the season and the mood of the chef, who can be very creative. You could eat a clam and leek soup, and then move on to squid flash-fried with thyme and fresh chillies, or sea bream with wine and cherry tomatoes. The starters are very good too. For those who don't like fish (in this case it is best to visit this restaurant during the winter when fish is in scarce supply) there are the typical mixed stews, the Valtellina "pizzoccheri", and simply delicious risottos. The wine list is good and includes more than one hundred different wines. The atmosphere is refined and the staff are professional, but never cold or informal. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Multiethnic, imaginative food |
Via Piccardi, 8 Trieste 34141 Italy +39 40 63 1984 |
Near the city centre, this place serves highly imaginative food in a fun, original atmosphere. It is impossible to predict the menu, as it changes from day to day, ranging from an Irish day, which includes beer and starters, to a week long Portuguese theme, or an African dinner, as well as times when they concentrate on Arab and Latin food, amongst others. Every Wednesday night, the best ethnic Djs in the area play ethnic music and every Thursday is a different kind of fun evening. Review © 2007, Wcities |
