Mimi e Cocotte In Trieste

06/01/2025: I booked Christmas lunch for two people, already upon arrival we had to wait to be seated even though ours was the last free table. Throughout the lunch the lack of presence of the staff made the experience absolutely negative. The environment is very welcoming but we immediately had to wait to receive a menu before ordering, empty plates left on the table. There were at least four waiters but they were all in the other, inner room. Good but extremely small mullet appetizer, 10x5 cm tile in the photo for the price (€18), decent spaghetti with clams, a bit of liveliness was missing. Even there I had to wait to get some pepper to grind and had to stand with my head turned and my arms raised to try to catch the attention of one of the waiters who was going from the counter to the other room. Good dessert, revisited rigojanci. A mini pre-dessert was appreciated. For the choice of wine, instead of verbally indicating the labels available for a glass, the waiter brought to the table four bottles that were in the ice, placing them on the table, wet the tablecloth, unprofessional. I would have appreciated a little more attention from the waiters. When asking for the bill, I wasn't even asked if we would like to have a coffee or a bitter. In conclusion, the food was good, the price was a little too high for what is offered, and the service was very poor. It's nice how a basket of bread with various qualities is served, all homemade, which partly justifies the €5 cover charge. I will try to give them another chance on another occasion.
