 Seafood restaurant |
Piazza Hortis, 7 Trieste 34123 Italy +39 40 30 0633 |
This old and economical trattoria, long loved by students from a nearby nautical institute, has become one of the best and most famous seafood restaurants in the city. Its wonderful cooking and pleasant location have made it famous, as well as word of mouth. The restaurant is situated on the edge of Trieste's old town which is called Cavana. Until recently this area was rather run down, but now it has been restored by the local council and has become one of the most characteristic zones in the city. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Family cooking centred around fish and pleasantries |
Via Cadorna, 7 Trieste 34124 Italy +39 40 30 1771 |
A few hundred meters from the Pizza dell'Unita d'Italia, towards the Stazione Maritimo, is this rustic, friendly establishment, an excellent fish restaurant. The prices are decidedly higher than the average for this city but for a connoisseur, good food has no price. On the other hand, as well as a rather excessive wine list, you will be offered an oil list, a spirits and a liqueur list, nowhere else in Trieste will you find this. Among the food on offer, Al Bagetto offers you excellent fresh fish, really delicious pasta starters and main courses based on pasta and rice that should not be missed. And for dessert you will faint at the 'crema catalana' and the 'millefeuille' with cream and rum. If you like fish and have a special occasion to celebrate, or simply feel like indulging yourself for once, this is, without a doubt, the place to come. Review © 2007, Wcities |

An institution among the many local restaurants |
Riva Nazario Sauro, 22 Trieste 34123 Italy +39 40 30 3001 |
You won't find yourself in a restaurant, but in a small museum of seafood cuisine. Not far from the sea, Giorgio Nessi is in fact a real institution with its dishes and recipes winning awards and competitions nationally and internationally (including the Oscar for Italian cooking in 1978). In a refined atmosphere which could perhps also do with maturing a little, you will enjoy the delicious Miramare ravioli or steamed fish, together with a glass of fine Collio wine, a hilly area in Gorizia, a few kilometres from Trieste. The highlight of the menu is the famous Giorgio spaghetti which will delight you. Very high prices but good quality and tradition are expensive. Review © 2007, Wcities |

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.

Something fishy |
Piazza Venezia, 7 Trieste 34123 Italy +39 40 30 6788 |
This restaurant is located near to Piazza Unita d'Italia. It is the only restaurant in the city which boasts the privilege of being able to supply itself directly from the family fish shop. It has been famous since the 1950's and has been mentioned in many national and international gastronomical guides. It is one of the oldest restaurants in the city, and perhaps its only problem has been caused by this, it has been unable to modernize and update its cooking. The cuisine is good, although not the best to be found in the city. You can try "granzievola alla triestina", lobster cooked in Istrian dessert wine, sea bream and scorpion fish prepared in wine, and salted fish. For dessert you should try the "rigojanci", a typically Hungarian type of chocolate sorbet. The wine list is good. 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 |

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 |

Restaurant in old town |
Via del Trionfo, 3 Trieste 34121 Italy +39 40 63 8435 |
Arcoriccardo Ristorante offers fantastic Italian fare in a romantic and cozy environment that is at once rustic and modern. The ancient building retains its brick archways, yet modern table settings and lighting create and contemporary atmosphere. The chef's Neapolitan roots are evident in the seafood driven menu, with entrées such as Octopus Stew with Seafood and Pasta and Bean Soup with Mussels. Review © 2007, Wcities |

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 |

The oldest and most luxurious cafe |
Piazza Tommaseo 4/c Trieste 34121 Italy +39 40 36 2666 http://www.caffetommaseo.com/ |
This must be the most luxurious, as well as the oldest cafe in Trieste. Opened in 1825, in what was once called Piazza dei Negozianti, Caffè Tommaseo is a favorite with artists and intellectuals and continues to host cultural events, meetings and press conferences. It is a bright place with splendid stucco decorations that date back to the early 20th Century. Caffè Tommaseo offers a vast choice of tea and good sandwiches and desserts, as well as excellent coffee and hot chocolate. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Looking over the extraordinary piazza |
Piazza Unità d'Itali, 7 Trieste 34121 Italy +39 40 36 5777 http://www.caffespecchi.it/ind... |
This was opened in 1839 in the lovely Stratti building, home of the Assicurazioni Generali, and looks onto the Piazza dell'Unita d'Italia. It is the most exclusive cafe in the city and is especially popular on Sunday mornings. It has undergone numerous restorations, the last and most important of which took place in 1969. It is elegant and well looked after, with outside tables that offer a view of the sea. It offers excellent brioches and pastries for breakfast as well as excellent cocktails, sandwiches, desserts and tea. Review © 2007, Wcities |

 Elegant, sophisticated coffee shop |
Via Malcanton, 6 Trieste 34121 Italy +39 40 77 4512 |
Located between the town hall and the police station, two minutes from Piazza Dell'Unita d'Italia, this place has been open since the end of the 1990's. It is one of the most elegant places in the city, and its atmosphere is reminiscent of a bygone era, with warm, wooden furnishings, a tearoom and small, enchanting tables. As well as coffee and hot chocolate, it has one of the largest assortments of pastries in the city. It offers sandwiches and toasts at lunch time and tea and home made biscuits in the afternoon. After supper, music and hundreds of young people transform this place into a trendy meeting place. The best Dj's of the area play here, livening up Friday nights till late, with the most popular, up to date sounds. Review © 2007, Wcities |
 Chinese restaurant near the Rossetti theatre |
Via Brunner, 1 Trieste 34126 Italy +39 40 76 8477 |
There are many Chinese restaurants here, but few of real quality. This is certainly one of the best in Trieste. It has a sophisticated atmosphere with oriental style furnishings and polite staff. The menu offers all the traditional Chinese specialities, prepared and served with class. It is near Viale XX Settembre, near the Rossetti theatre and all the main cinemas of the city. Reasonable prices, but parking is tricky round here. It is better to leave the car in the underground carpark of Foro Ulpiano. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Typical trattoria |
Via della Ginnastica, 20 Trieste 34125 Italy +39 40 36 7674 |
Scarpon's interior is typical trattoria, but don't let that put you off—the food is so good that it is always full to bursting point. The cuisine is traditional to the area—both meat and fish—spaghetti with sole, gnocchi with goulash and jota, and all the local dishes. Scarpon is a few steps away from Via XX Settembre, the street of the Rossetti Theatre and all the best cinemas. The chef, Claudio Scarpa, always has thousands of stories and adventures to tell and although the service may be a bit inaccurate and lax, his cooking is definitely worth trying.

A family place on the seafront |
Salita al Promontorio, 2 Trieste 34123 Italy +39 40 30 5094 / +39 40 31 1470 |
Dino's is not one of those restaurants that follow the latest fashion but a small, intimate and familiar place, and perhaps it is worth a visit just for this. Two steps away from the seafront (near the Bianchi swimming pool and about 10 minutes from Piazza dell'Unità d'Italia on foot), it has been run since 1978 by the Aureli family who offer a praised and enjoyable menu. Apart from the fish, which is always fresh, you can also try some truly special first courses like spaghetti, allo scoglio, crespelle with salmon, tagliatelle with scampi and superb risottos. The sweets are also good. The wines of the Marche are noted amongst the selection available as it was the region where the owner was born. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Luxurious restaurant |
Riva Tre Novembre, 3 Trieste 34121 Italy +39 40 36 2603 |
Traditionally this is the most "chic" restaurant in the city. It is located near Piazza dell'Unita d'Italia, the biggest European square next to the sea, and the Verdi Theatre, right in the middle of Trieste. Inside it is hung with white drapery, and this, along with the refined atmosphere make it one of the most sought-after restaurants in the city. "I'll take you to the Elefante Bianco" has now become a way of promising someone a wonderful lunch or dinner. It is perfect for business meetings or romantic evenings. The international cuisine is delicious and refined, the wine list excellent. The prices are quite high, but when you go to a restaurant as refined as this you are prepared to pay such as much as necessary. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Large restaurant and pizzeria |
Piazza Dalmazia, 4 Trieste 34134 Italy +39 40 36 4564 |
This was one of Trieste's traditional and historical cafes near to the central station. A few years it was transformed into a restaurant, located in an architecturally imposing arcade. It is a pity that it hasn't managed to throw off some of its old fashioned atmosphere. This spacious, often silent, and not particularly well looked after restaurant does not give a very positive first impression, however the cooking is not at all bad. The interior is furnished to hold large groups of people, but in truth it is not really visited much by people from Trieste. It has one characteristic which renders it unique: the kitchen is open from 7a until midnight. The service alternates between caffeteria, buffet, and traditional restaurant food. The historical Opicina tram stops near the restaurant. It runs along a beautiful line and takes you right up to the karstic highland. It serves pizza, meat and fish. Typical local cooking. The service is good, but a little hurried. There is the possibility of having a personalised menu. The wine list is mediocre and the price list reflects this. They also offer a catering service.

Essential meeting place |
Via Carducci, 2/c Trieste 34133 Italy |
Harry's Bar is refined, but unpretentious. It faces onto Piazza Oberdan, which in Trieste (because of the large amount of parking space available) is one of the main meeting points before going out to eat or to a nightclub. It is a good place to have a drink to start the evening off (this bar serves thousands every night). The bar interior is quite small, and has music playing in the background. On Friday and Saturday nights it becomes so crowded that it can be very difficult to get in. During the day Harry's is completely different, and is a quiet bar where you can have breakfast, eat a sandwich, or have a quick coffee. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Restaurant with a view over the sea |
Piazza Unità d'Italia, 2 Trieste 34121 Italy +39 40 36 5646 |
Eating in a restaurant in Europe's largest square overlooking the sea is not something you do everyday, and this is the only restaurant where it is possible. Since it changed hands, Harry's Grill has become one of the most exclusive restaurants in Trieste. It is housed by the same beautiful building which is home to the Duchi d'Aosta Hotel, one of the best hotels in the city. The atmosphere is refined and the service is very professional. You eat in a pretty veranda overlooking the square. The prices are rather high (especially for Trieste) making it a restaurant for special occasions. It is perfect for romantic dinners and business meals. The cuisine is excellent and imaginative, and includes both local and international dishes ranging from boiled beef to very fresh oysters. The cheese trolley is insuperable (and the only one in the city) and contains Italian and French cheeses. There is a wide range of grappa available, and a very large wine cellar containing around 25,000 bottles. Don't miss out on this restaurant! 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 |

Ice cream parlour on the sea shore |
Molo Pescheria, 1 Trieste 34121 Italy +39 40 30 6969 |
This small ice cream parlour is situated in front of the Aquarium, on the old fishing jetty (5 minutes on foot from Piazza dell'Unità d'Italia). It is only open between June and September, and is open until late at night. It offers a huge choice of different flavours which can be combined to form delicious ice crea, cones (along with chocolate, fruit, pop-corn, liquors, and other things). You can eat your ice cream at the tables located about 5 meters from the sea, and it is especially nice during the evening when the buildings along the sea shore are lit up, and you can see the illuminated fishing boats on the sea. The ice cream is served in cardboard cups. The prices are fairly high, and there are no waiters, however it is still worth going. Everyone goes here in the Summer. It is easy to park nearby, and there is music playing in the background. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Bavarian style restaurant |
Via Pozzo del Mare, 1 Trieste 34121 Italy +39 40 30 7997 |
Around twenty metres from Piazza Dell'Unita D'Italia, the entrance to this restaurant can be found on a narrow alleyway in the old city. It is definitely worth finding, as it is unique in Trieste, and has only recently opened. Everything, from the food to the furnishings, is in Bavarian style and German (translated into Italian). There are typical, wooden tables on which customers can eat delicious cheeses or try the abundant cold meats or potatoes in Bavarian style. They also have excellent desserts including chocolate cake, with or without cream and fruit as well as more original offerings such as carrot cake. Try a German beer to wash it all down.

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 |

Creative restaurant |

This small and refined restaurant has been going down very well with Trieste's young people, although lately it has been a little overshadowed by new restaurants opening nearby. The atmosphere is quiet and relaxing. It is near to Trieste's historical centre, on a street where it is impossible to park during the day. Everything is much easier in the evening. The atmosphere is welcoming and young, and the friendly service seems to be without fault. You can pass a relaxing evening here. The lighting is not too strong, and sometimes it is even lit by candlelight. There are 40 places. The portions are not particularly big, but the cooking is absolutely delicious. There are always new things to try on the menu. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Restaurant on busy road |
Via San Francesco, 30 Trieste 34133 Italy |
This restaurant is situated on one of the most busy roads in the city, Via San Francesco, and a parking space is very expensive here (there is a pay and display carpark a few hundred metres away). Despite the traffic, this restaurant, with its subdues lighting, gives a sense of peace and tranquility. The cooking is all meat based, with salads and excellent pastas. The choice of dish is not great. At lunchtime it is full of people who work in the area. The Buca offers a good choice of drinks before dinner. Notwithstanding appearances, it is not a very busy restaurant. It seems more adapt for business meetings, or quick dinners rather than an important evening out with your loved one. The prices are average. There are 50 places. The service is discreet. Review © 2007, Wcities |

One of the most famous pizzerias in Trieste |
Via Caccia, 3 Trieste 34129 Italy +39 40 76 8893 |
This has been considered one of the best pizzerias in Trieste for years and it rightly deserves the title. According to the owner, Andrea, the secret is a mysterious ingredient. Whether this is true or not, there are 50 great pizzas on offer here, as well as other excellent dishes including pasta, where simplicity and abundance seem to be the keys to success. They also served vegetables and meat dishes and there are home made desserts as well as beer and wine. Located on the narrow street that links Largo Barriera Vecchia and the Ospedale Maggiore, about five minutes walk from the central Via Carducci and Via Battisti.

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 |

Via San Francesco, 17 Trieste 34133 Italy +39 40 37 1187 |
La Penna Blanca, along the narrow and chaotic Via San Francisco, is one of the city's most notable pasta restaurants. Aimed at a younger crowd, at lunchtime it attracts local workers, offering over 30 types of amazing starters. At the tables, which are few and far between, (the restaurant seats 35 only), the delicious tagliatelle, penne and spaghetti are served in an imaginative way. The surroundings are simple and plain, as in an attractive trattoria. To quench your thirst there are the usual drinks and three different types of beer. Easy to reach by foot, (you are only a short walk away from the very central Via Battisti) it is not so easy to find parking.

Don't be fooled by the modest appearance of this restaurant. Whilst it may just look like an old-style breadshop, it is in fact somewhere between a pub and a restaurant. It has been in Trieste for many years and is well known by people of all ages. There is one room which is dedicated to traditional panini and another which is for people who want to enjoy a full meal. The restaurant seats thirty and has a cosy atmosphere. There are five different types of bottled beer to try as well as excellent pasta and meat dishes. Amongst the latter there are lovely filets and escalopes. For a quick meal, you can try a toasted sandwich with salsa rosa which will surprise you in its simplicity. The restaurant is closed between June-August. Review © 2007, Wcities |
