 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 |

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 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 |

Excellent fish restaurant |
Sistiana, 59 Trieste 34013 Italy +39 40 29 1515 |
A few hundred metres away from the junction leading to the beautiful Sistiana Mare, on the outskirts of Trieste, you will come across this fish restaurant which dates back to 1910. Traditional home-cooked dishes are on offer, combined with all the advantages of a modern restaurant. "Gino" was renovated a few years ago, and offers an excellent assortment of starters which are brought around on a tray, these can be follwed by abundant pasta dishes. The second courses are mainly made up of fresh fish which is always of excellent quality. The desserts are alll home-made, and the wine list is surprisingly varied. The prices are a little high, but this is mainly because of the area in which the restaurant is situated, which is definitely worth visiting. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Good fish here! |
Riva de Amicis, 1/a Trieste, Trieste 34015 Italy +39 40 27 1219 |
Before enjoying this restaurant, visitors should be warned that the prices are slightly higher than normal. Nonetheless, the excellent food and charming place makes it all worth it. Located in Muggia, near the Slovenian border, customers can enjoy innovative fish dishes sitting on the delightful terrace overlooking the sea. No dish is disappointing here and customers can choose from main meals such as terrine of eel, black tagliatelle with clams and gnocchi with turbot. There are also original desserts and a good wine list. Impeccable service and a sophisticated atmosphere which seats around 40 inside and 70 outside. Easy parking, this place can also be reached by bus. Review © 2007, Wcities |

The most prestigious restaurant in Muggia |
Via Battisti, 22 Trieste 34015 Italy +39 40 27 3338 |
This is the restaurant of the most prestigious hotel in Muggia, an enchanting town by the Slovenian border. It serves delicious, sophisticated food with an emphasis on fish. Despite the slightly cold furnishings which gives the place an artificial atmosphere, it is still a good place for meetings, work lunches and weddings, and seats around 300 people. There is also a great wine list and this is a lovely place to walk around before or after dinner. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Tasty fish dishes |
Viale Miramare, 323 Trieste 34135 Italy +39 40 41 0986 |
A great location and great cooking are characteristics of this restaurant, which is a favorite with tourists and large groups. Situated right at the entrance to the city along the promenade of Barcola, whoever comes to Trieste and travels along the coastal road has to pass by the restaurant. La Marinella has been one of the top fish restaurants in Trieste for many years. The atmosphere is spacious and bright. The area is particularly enchanting, even though the restaurant is to be found on one of the main roads of the province, it is still close to the sea, which means that a stroll along the promenade after a meal is something that is favoured by the people of Trieste. The restaurant is very busy at lunchtime on Sunday. All the recipes are fish based and nothing is left to chance. From the unforgettable seafood pasta to traditional fish dishes cooked according to a selection of local and international recipes. The flavors are delicious, and there is a good selection of wines.
