Antica Trattoria Le Barettine In Trieste

Found it by chance and it was a surprise. The owner, a waiter and dishwasher from Desio, is not only a good businessman but also an excellent cook. Recommended dishes?? ALL OF THEM!! The place needs a little more attention as it's starting to show its age, but otherwise highly recommended!!

Formidable food, very good wines and fast and friendly service

I've been several times because I love their raw fish, and the other dishes are also delicious. The atmosphere is intimate and welcoming, and the staff is always friendly.

The dinner was fantastic, and both owners were very friendly and welcoming. The restaurant is intimate and welcoming, nestled in the Cavana. The fish was incredibly fresh, cooked with passion and in amazing combinations. The only downside was perhaps the slightly high bill, but it was more than made up for by the owners' kindness and politeness, qualities that aren't always a given in Trieste restaurants.

A typical Trieste tavern with limited seating. Excellent quality ingredients and delicious dishes. Impeccable service. Well done!!!

We found this very authentic local restaurant. One page menu, specialized in sea food. It’s one of those small places that puts their heart and soul into the restaurant. They had a special local mussel (mussoli) on the menu, which was slightly more chewy than black mussels but it was such a fun experience to taste something new. I hate touristy places and I am always looking for the unique & authentic gastronomic experiences. This definitely hit the spot! I had the sea bass for main course which was delicious and perfectly cooked. The gnocchi was incredible, I would say one of the best home made gnocchi I ever tasted. The dessert was quite small but beautiful balance of flavors. To top it off, they sold house wine. We tried the sparkling white wine which was delicious and only added to the great experience. Would 100% recommend it if you like seafood!

A vegetarian writes a review of a fish restaurant: When booking the previous evening, when I asked for a vegetarian dish (my companion was keen to eat there because they had brodetto on the menu), they told me there were none (not even fries), but promised to have them the following evening. Their promise was more than kept: They had bought a tub of porcini mushrooms and made a wonderful salad of raw porcini mushrooms, Sedano, and Parmesan cheese, served with fried potato slices. My companion was equally delighted with his grilled scallops and the Zuppa di Pesce, which was a real fish soup. Such good food and perfect service (even though there were only two of them) made for a very enjoyable evening.

A warm and welcoming place with traditional cuisine. Coming to Trieste and not stopping by would be a shame, especially if you're not a tourist. If I had the time, I'd gladly return many times to try the other dishes on the menu. The raw fish platter is exceptional in variety and quality, the other appetizers are also very good, and the gnocchi with spider crab are truly excellent. A truly satisfying evening and dinner. Congratulations!

Piccola trattoria di mare ove poter gustare le più autentiche tipicità culinarie marine di stagione. Squisiti sia il baccalà che il dentice mantecati. Deliziose le sarde e mazzancolle in saor. Gustose le cozze al vapore. Deliziose le capesante gratinate. Eccellenti anche l'orata e il branzino alla griglia.

Passato per puro caso, dando sempre comunque un occhio alla qualità delle recensioni, siamo stati fatti accomodare vicino alla stube. Cucina e servizio impeccabili, ordinati in due un antipasto misto cotto, Gnocchi con sugo di granseola, Taglierini con sugo al agli scampi, Frittura mista di pesce, Strudel e un favoloso Bresnit (se così si scrive). Tutto squisito e tutto ben accompagnato da un Friulano di Toros. Liquore di Terrano e caffè offerti dalla casa. Se mai ricapiterò a Trieste, ci tornerò sicuramente. Consigliassimo
