Antico Spazzacamino In Trieste

A unique and very beautiful place. The dishes are very good. The fish is excellent.

As soon as you enter, you immediately sense the atmosphere the owners have created. You may like it or not, but I like it. Excellent quality food, well-cooked, with generous portions. The host and staff are very informal but friendly. By informal, I mean they say something silly when you're ordering and maybe even sit down at your table. Nothing special... Very fair price!

Nice little restaurant, with 1970s-style furnishings and accessories! The food is good, and it's a great experience!

We had excellent seafood dishes. The staff was friendly and engaging. Prices were fair, and the live music was played without being too loud. Decorated with lots of '80s and '70s details. Highly recommended.

Discovered years ago thanks to the TV show "4 Ristoranti," I promised myself I'd go there if I ever found myself in Trieste. And this year, finally, here I am. It was the only restaurant on the show that stayed in my memory for years! And there was a reason—in fact, more than one! Let's start with the place: an intimate atmosphere, both in terms of lighting and background music, crammed with modern antiques, vinyl records, books, and cassettes—you'd have to spend a week there to discover everything the place has to offer. The food is delicious, to say the least. My partner and I chose a completely seafood-based menu, although we skipped the first courses, as the portions are truly generous and it's (unfortunately!) impossible (at least for us...) to have a full meal. So we ordered a mixed seafood appetizer, rich, varied, and plentiful, and a sea bass, the catch of the day. The cuisine is very simple, the quality of the ingredients is excellent, so there's no need for elaborate condiments or elaborate sauces: eating fish practically uncooked was a pleasure that, usually, we rarely get to enjoy. But the real highlight of the place is undoubtedly Edoardo, who takes orders by sitting at the table with the customers, explaining the dishes perfectly but, above all, sharing life anecdotes, not forgetting to ask if they'd like to share a little about themselves. He's never intrusive, out of place, or annoying; on the contrary, he makes you feel truly at home, even if it's the first time he sees you. The love he puts into his work is obvious, as is his love for the interaction with people; nothing is done for business, only for passion. And all of this also makes the final bill super honest and perfectly in line with the food. I give it 5 stars, but if I could, I'd give it the entire firmament 😂

Small, cozy, family-friendly, "different" restaurant. We ate well, and the wait staff was excellent. Thank you!

My partner had seen them at four other restaurants, so we stopped to try them. The atmosphere is picturesque and makes you feel right at home. The service is "slow" in the best sense of the word: relaxed, you come to eat without rushing, you won't be harassed by the waiters. The menu of the day is explained by the staff. We had an excellent fish appetizer, a first course, and a second course, and we were very satisfied. Fair prices: €30 per person, including wine, water, side dish, and coffee, for a truly delicious meal. I'll be back if I'm in Trieste.

Highly recommended for a different experience in a unique venue, certainly not in the most convenient location, but worth the extra step. Excellent seafood menu and super friendly and helpful staff.

Che posto magico! Siamo stati accolti in questo ristorante da persone che non si limitano a fare un’ottima ristorazione ma che donano serenità. Cibo squisito, personale fantastico e location artistica. Consigliatissimo.

Difficilmente può trovarsi un locale simile. Atmosfera coinvolgente. Malgrado la presenza di oggetti un po’ vintage e altri tipici di una bottega da rigattiere, messi un po’ alla rinfusa e senza apparente logica, le sale adibite a ristorazione riescono ad avere una loro intrigante identità. A ciò aggiungi personale cordiale e, comunque, discreto, pietanze di buon livello (per lo più prodotti di mare ) e ottimo rapporto prezzo/ qualità; in definitiva, hanno tutto ciò che occorre per una ristorazione difficile da dimentica Anche il tipo di musica, gradevole e raffinata. Veramente bravi !!!!
