Al Tiglio

Pizza and fish in the shade of an enormous tree

Via Kosovel, 3
Trieste 34100
Italy
+39 40 922 0163 / +39 40 922 1140

It is not by chance that the name of the place translates as 'The Lime Tree'. At the centre of the garden of this beautiful restaurant stands an enormous lime tree, which is already over 120 years old. Here, at the heart of the town of Basovizza, in the welcoming internal rooms, or under the branches of the old tree, you can opt for a nice pizza or if you prefer, a fish based dish. But Trieste is where you should be eating fish; here we are high up and although the air may be good, we are far from the sea. There is extra seating for 200 in the garden. For an intimate evening, perhaps in summer, this is the ideal place.

Locanda Mario

Frogs and snails in Carso Draga Sant'Elia
Trieste 34018
Italy
+39 40 22 8193 This is a great restaurant that is not the place to come to if you are looking for a simple steak or pasta dish, as this is where you will find frogs and snails on the menu. In the heart of Carso, this rustic restaurant, in the tiny village of Draga Sant'Elia, it is well known for its spaghetti with frogs or fried snails. If this is not to your taste, their are alternatives such as wild boar, brain, mushrooms and creamy pasta.

Rifugio Premuda

Typical Alpine refuge at 80 metres above sea level Bagnoli della Rosandra
Trieste, Trieste 34018
Italy
+39 40 22 8147 This refuge is located at the entrance to Val Rosandra, in one of the most unusual and evocative corners of the Carso Triestino, on the left-hand bank of the stream. The local environment is very particular to this area - the vegetation, the rocky walls, and the caves evoke an alpine landscape, but it is only 80 metres above sea level. The Premuda is the lowest Italian mountain refuge. It was opened by the Società Alpina delle Giulie in 1940, and is the base for the "Emilio Comici" National Alpinism School, as well as being and ideal base for excursions into the valley. It is only 20-30 minutes outside the city (to get there just go towards Muggia and then follow the signs to Val Rosandra), but it is immersed in a sort of natural paradise.

The Premuda is a stone building with a large garden and a very big car park. It is like a typical Alpine refuge. It is very busy during the Summer when its full of cavers, climbers, naturalists, and families on holiday. It doesn't have any beds. It is also easy to reach by bus, the nearest stop is just a few hundred metres away in the village of Bagnoli. Obviously the food and drink available is nothing out of the ordinary. As in all refuges you eat simple, but tasty food. The food is mostly made up of sliced ham and cheese, but there are also a few hot dishes such as pasta, soups, and gnocchi. It is the ideal place to start your excursion from, and is in a beautiful location. The refuge is shut during the month of February.
