Al Petes Vino e Cibo in Cittavecchia In Trieste

The 6-course surprise menu is highly recommended and offers good value for money. Reservations are essential. Service may be slow at times when there are many guests to serve. Service is also available in English.

Impeccable restaurant in the historic center

The Al Petes restaurant in Trieste completely impressed me with its tasting menu. The quality of the food is outstanding - creatively prepared, finely balanced in taste and prepared with great attention to detail. I was particularly pleasantly surprised by the excellent price-performance ratio: the menu is surprisingly inexpensive for the quality offered. The wine selection is impressive. There is a wide range of local and international positions, and the staff provides competent and unobtrusive advice - perfectly tailored to the individual courses. The service as a whole is also very attentive, friendly and professional, without seeming stiff. The rooms are a small drawback: the dining room seems a bit cold and matter-of-fact, which doesn't quite do justice to the otherwise warm and enjoyable experience. With a little more atmosphere in the interior, the experience could be even more rounded. Nevertheless: From a culinary point of view, Al Petes is absolutely recommendable - a real discovery in Trieste for everyone who appreciates high-quality cuisine at fair prices.

Service was great, the food was special and very tasty, and the wine list was excellent. Gladly 5 stars

Excellent restaurant with great food and impeccable staff!

We came for dinner with a couple of friends, the service was very good and we ate well. It is not a cheap restaurant but there is a real search for taste. My octopus was amazing. The desserts had very particular combinations but they were good. Advise

Dishes not only presented to perfection but also delicious. Attention to detail, everything amazing. A real surprise. Returned some time later and always very good. Other menus, other flavors but always surprising. A pleasure for the palate. The portions are not abundant but the house offers a lot of spectacular sweet and savory delicious things that leave you full in the end.

Best value high quality cuisine I've had in years. Every dish on the taster menu had surprising delicious flavours, but not too over the top challenging. It is clear that they strive for perfection. Unpretentious efficiant service. I was so relaxed and thoroughly enjoyed the experience

Ristorante carino nella città vecchia di Trieste con una cucina molto interessante ed innovativa ma tenendo salde le radici della tradizione. Ottima carta dei vini e chef davvero bravi sia sui primi e secondi e antipasti e sia sui dolci. Servizio professionale e prezzi giusti per la qualità del locale . Direi che per chi vuole passare una bella serata è il posto giusto .

Il locale è carino e abbastanza accogliente, il servizio efficiente, la carta dei vini interessante, ma sopratutto il cibo è squisito, delicato e originale. Una menzione speciale per i memorabili fusilli con cicale di mare e per gli irresistibili dolci, fra cui il golosissimo rigojanci e l’originale cioccolato bianco con rafano.
