Amano In Trieste

A place not to be missed, absolutely!! Excellent

On Saturday, November 15, 2025, a friend and I were looking for a typical Trieste place where we could eat a good hot ham sandwich and some other delicacies, as true Triestine people often do. Luckily, the 5 or 6 places we usually go to were all closed... it was 2:45 PM... I say fortunately because when we arrived at Barriera, we looked at each other and said together, "Let's go there," seeing everything open. We found all the staff professional, friendly, and welcoming, and they seated us with a smile. We immediately ordered 2 ham and eggplant sandwiches, which were amazing, 1 ham and gorgonzola, which was even better, 2 beers, and 300 grams of ham for home, since just the thought of having already finished it made your mouth water, and all at a very fair total price. We used to go to 5 or 6 places for years, now we'll only go to one place... "Salumeria a mano" Go there and you'll hit the mark. Congratulations to everyone Staff...Alessandro and Rea will be back to you very soon.

Cozy place with good food if you are looking for a simple meal. Service is really friendly but a bit slow.

Anyone who knows Trieste knows that "cotto" is a serious matter here. A Mano is a temple to "cotto" and to Trieste in general, and Andrea, the manager, is its priest.

Everything was delicious and very fresh, just a note if I may: the cured meats and sandwiches should be touched with gloves and if the waitress coughs for a while, in addition to smiling about it, she should turn away and put on a mask.. 😉

We had a quick aperitif, the gentleman who served us was very kind and helpful. See you next time 👋

Excellent place to eat traditional ham in a crust with horseradish. Highly recommended.

The tastiest ham served fresh and warm

I am a foreigner in Italy, but I have already gotten used to their way of ordering. Here, however, I came across unfamiliar dishes and I had a problem with the English menu. But there was no problem. The young guy was very kind to help me and my wife. We got very tasty dishes on four plates, which are worth trying. Everything was fresh and hot. The bill including drinks was 35€. The service was fast, even though there were quite a few guests. The outside tables are on the sidewalk in the shade. I am glad that they are also open in the middle of the day and that was very important to me. That way there was no need to rush. They have even more unfamiliar dishes, which we will try on the next occasion.

Sensationally delicious! Warm ham or roast, freshly sliced, on a roll with mustard and fresh horseradish, and a small beer to go with it! Molto buono!
