12/10/2025: Good atmosphere, good music, friendly waiters 10/10

28/09/2025: Everything is EXCELLENT!!! Just like 20 years ago 😊🤩👏🎉🎊💙💜 And the location is easy to get to because it's on the corner of Corso Italia, right in front of the theater, so very accessible. I definitely recommend it when you're in the city.

04/10/2025: Osteria degli Antenati was a small but well-kept and well-decorated restaurant from the very first moment. The welcome was excellent: the waitress was kind and quick to seat us. The menu, presented on a blackboard, required some clarification for some dishes, but the staff was immediately helpful and knowledgeable in helping us choose. The wait was pleasant and short, with the offer of an original candy-shaped cheese wafer and delicious fresh bread. The first courses arrived in about 15 minutes and were truly delicious and well-received. The house wine also stood out for its good flavor. Unfortunately, the second courses didn't live up to the first courses. The frico was too cheesy and had overcooked potatoes. The cutlet, unfortunately dry, turned out to be a classic cordon bleu and not the alternative I had expected. I definitely wouldn't choose them again. The meal concluded with a good coffee and grappa. Additional points: I appreciated the smoking area, which, although small, serves its purpose well. A special mention goes to the bathroom: clean and equipped with many useful accessories for any eventuality. The mirror and door locking system are also nice, although the only flaw was the lack of a clear "occupied" sign or indication. Regarding logistics, there is some parking in front of the restaurant, although limited. It's unclear whether there is a parking area reserved for customers, as I didn't see one. In summary: Osteria degli Antenati is a pleasant place with attentive service and excellent first courses, but the second courses are a bit disappointing.

23/09/2025: I found this place by chance, and I have to say everything was delicious. I have to compliment the young man and woman who served me, who were truly professional. The dishes were truly thoughtful and of good quality, and the atmosphere was very nice and refined. I recommend trying it, and if I'm in the area, I'll definitely be back.

18/10/2025: Friday lunchtime, apart from us, there were only Italians, who were simply having lunch. One table remained free. When ordering the fish platter for two, we were immediately informed that it would take half an hour. Everything was freshly prepared and a feast for the eyes. A fish platter for two cost €54, absolutely reasonable and sufficient. €16 for three octopus arms with a small side dish. Fish and seafood come at a price, I don't quite understand the other reviews. For the fish platter, a side table was traditionally brought out, and they asked if they wanted the fish cut up in front of us. Almost all the other guests took advantage of this, and we did it ourselves. The picture shows about a third of the octopus portion 🐙

26/09/2025: What a fantastic place for my last night in Italy. The food fantastic, but the staff was incredible.... thank you.

08/11/2025: Beautiful location, excellent food, excellent service.

17/10/2025: Fixed price menu. Excellent value for money. Nice place.

09/10/2025: Good pizza with slightly lower prices than the surrounding area, very friendly and sociable owner

03/10/2025: Excellent pizza, large portions, excellent service and very nice atmosphere

02/11/2025: Excellent sandwich shop, with a distinctive decor, all themed around sports (especially football, with jerseys of various players, both well-known and lesser-known). Quick service, very friendly staff. It was created as a place to watch football matches together on the big screens (if you like football, it's a must-try experience; otherwise, it's best to avoid if there are any big matches scheduled, as it gets very crowded). It remains one of my favorite places in Monfalcone.

15/09/2025: Varied food and excellent, friendly service. Themed atmosphere. We return every time we're in the area.

09/10/2025: Family run neighborhood restaurant with 3 ladies running the business. Good food and friendly service.

09/10/2025: The food in this little trattoria was delicious, beautifully arranged on the plate, and reasonably priced. We were very satisfied.

01/10/2025: The bread used for the sandwiches is excellent! Well done!

25/09/2025: Get 3 kebabs in one large portion

27/09/2025: Let's start by saying that both the tartare and the rib steak were truly excellent. Now let's consider the rest. The fact that they don't have beer, not even bottled, is a legitimate choice, but, as it was for me, it can be a bit disconcerting. When I ordered, I asked for a bottle of red wine, but it didn't come with the tartare. When they took the dish away, I didn't have time to ask, and only when the rib steak arrived did I mention it (I would have liked to sip wine throughout the meal, not just at the end). When I got the bill, I found it high (higher than I expected). In the car, I checked the receipt again and found the tartare had been priced at €75 instead of €18. I must emphasize that they promptly and apologetically refunded me the difference. In conclusion, the food is excellent, but given the level and price range they're aiming for, two setbacks are unacceptable.

19/09/2025: Good food, good service, welcoming atmosphere, excellent wine selection, good value. We'll be back.

30/10/2025: Delicious pizza and very cool kebab.

30/10/2025: Best pizza slices around! Excellent value for money!

05/09/2025: The food here is good, but it's hard to find a place to eat traditional cuisine and... Good wine, book in advance.

03/09/2025: Excellent service, food, and location. Local specialties and white wine were superb.

01/11/2025: The best place in the Gorizia area.

28/10/2025: If you're looking for a perfect dinner, with refined and exquisite ingredients, excellent wine pairings, and a friendly owner, you simply can't miss this place. My only regret is that I no longer have photos of the dishes. We'll definitely be back.

30/08/2025: Family atmosphere, friendly and helpful staff, more than fair prices. A word of advice: make sure you're hungry, as the portions are generous. Reservations are recommended. A must-visit, we'll be back.

30/08/2025: Maximum quantity, minimum quality! Excellent value for money.

03/11/2025: Among the many places serving traditional local cuisine, in two visits to Gorizia we discovered this welcoming osteria near the center. It's very good, high-quality, and offers excellent service. The staff recommend the canederli and the famous Ljubljanska. And last but not least, don't forget the Pelinkovac, the area's historic bitter.

01/11/2025: A place of objective value. The food is very good, perhaps the space is a bit small, and the wait is noticeable without a reservation.
