Truly an excellent experience!
We visited this seafood restaurant,
very fresh and perfectly cooked, with beautifully presented and flavorful dishes.
The menu offers a wide selection, but since there were four of us, we opted for a Joy platter, accompanied by a bottle of wine.
The platter contained scallops, gratinated mussels, scallops, breaded fillets, fried calamari, and pistachio prawns, all accompanied by sweet potatoes.
Everything was truly delicious and plentiful.
The staff was kind, attentive, and always available.
The atmosphere was elegant and welcoming, ideal for a dinner as a couple or for a dinner with friends.
The quality/price ratio was also excellent.
I recommend it to anyone who loves good seafood and a relaxed atmosphere.
I will definitely be back.

We ordered the Movida platter for two: excellent and plentiful, with a unique combination of fish and fruit pieces that was more appealing than at many other places I've eaten. It was pleasant. The prices were fair, and you left the table feeling full and satisfied. The only flaw: the tables were too close together and there was not enough space. It was so crowded that it's best to book well in advance.

Great staff. Helpful. Good food. The place is a bit cramped, and unfortunately, the proverbial obnoxiousness of the average Trieste resident meant that the customers at the next table (at least this evening) were quite rude. But who cares. Edda is definitely the highlight of the place. She could become my best friend: sweet, friendly, maternal, and always there for everyone. Super

A restaurant that's truly worth it. If it's not freshly caught, they won't serve it to you! The staff is incredibly friendly, and the chef deserves praise for the delicacies he prepares.

The food is really good, the raw fish dishes are superb. The atmosphere and the venue are basic, but you certainly won't be disappointed by the evening (closed for lunch).

Business dinner, we had appetizers, first courses, and second courses. Everything was perfect, their platters are unbeatable. I highly recommend them, total price around €50 per person and there were 8 of us 💯

An old-fashioned fish restaurant in Trieste, but in a way that's hard to find these days. Fresh, high-quality products and a small menu: the surest combination for the best fish dishes.
Thanks to the owner and her staff for the quick and friendly service!
