Al Petes Vino e Cibo in Cittavecchia In Trieste

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

I booked Christmas lunch for two people, already upon arrival we had to wait to be seated even though ours was the last free table. Throughout the lunch the lack of presence of the staff made the experience absolutely negative. The environment is very welcoming but we immediately had to wait to receive a menu before ordering, empty plates left on the table. There were at least four waiters but they were all in the other, inner room. Good but extremely small mullet appetizer, 10x5 cm tile in the photo for the price (€18), decent spaghetti with clams, a bit of liveliness was missing. Even there I had to wait to get some pepper to grind and had to stand with my head turned and my arms raised to try to catch the attention of one of the waiters who was going from the counter to the other room. Good dessert, revisited rigojanci. A mini pre-dessert was appreciated. For the choice of wine, instead of verbally indicating the labels available for a glass, the waiter brought to the table four bottles that were in the ice, placing them on the table, wet the tablecloth, unprofessional. I would have appreciated a little more attention from the waiters. When asking for the bill, I wasn't even asked if we would like to have a coffee or a bitter. In conclusion, the food was good, the price was a little too high for what is offered, and the service was very poor. It's nice how a basket of bread with various qualities is served, all homemade, which partly justifies the €5 cover charge. I will try to give them another chance on another occasion.

food of good quality, the second not excellent, value for money not the best

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 .

Nice place, good food, punctual and courteous service, comfortable environment.

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.

Nice place in the center of Trieste. Well prepared dishes with balanced flavours. Good offer of wines and spirits. Romantic/relaxed atmosphere I would happily stay here again
