Pasticceria Penso In Trieste

20/04/2026: My husband and I had lunch together. We've been wanting to try this Agriturismo for a while, thanks to some rave reviews from friends. We booked on Saturday for Sunday. The menu changes weekly, featuring Triestine dishes. For starters, I had a vegetable flan, which was very pleasant. My husband's first course was served at the same time: bread gnocchi with roast gravy. It was excellent (the only downside was the gravy, which wasn't reheated very well). The decision to serve both together so as not to leave one of the guests empty-handed was much appreciated. Next, I had a ricotta and spinach "strucolo in straza" with butter, which was truly remarkable, while my husband had a goulash with polenta, which was absolutely excellent, with the meat being super tender. For dessert, a chocolate and orange mousse, very rich and delicious, and a portion of palacinke (crêpes) with chocolate, a classic. To wash it all down, a good Cabernet Franc and a Coke. Reasonable prices for the quality and super-fast service!
