Antico Buffet Benedetto In Trieste

07/06/2026: While looking for somewhere to eat in Trieste, we stumbled upon this small restaurant, and just looking at the photos online, we were intrigued by one dish in particular: the goulash. We were so intrigued that we decided to walk about twenty minutes to try it. The place is quite small, and you can immediately sense a familiar, welcoming atmosphere. Although reservations were recommended, we tried anyway and were lucky to get a table. We started with an appetizer to share, which we found very good, and then moved on to the dish that had convinced us to come all the way: the goulash. I must say, it was worth it. Flavorful, tender, and truly delicious, accompanied by an excellent mashed potato that paired perfectly with the dish. It was one of those dishes we'll fondly remember long after we return home. We also tried the gratin stuffed mushrooms, which were very good and well-prepared. Simple yet carefully crafted dishes that convey the feeling of authentic, genuine cuisine. When we're particularly satisfied with a dinner, we usually indulge in dessert, and this time was no exception. The desserts were also excellent and rounded off the evening perfectly. I also really appreciated the atmosphere of the restaurant: simple, authentic, and unpretentious, yet with the care that makes guests feel welcome. A place that left us with very fond memories and that I'd gladly recommend to anyone visiting Trieste. Sometimes it's worth venturing a little further from the more touristy areas to find places like this. If we were to return to the city, we'd definitely stop by again.
