rustiko In Trieste

I don't like to leave reviews that are more negative than usual, but in this case, I have to because they've made mistakes that are unacceptable in the hospitality industry. The first is forgetting the details of a customer who's visiting from another country, as is my case. A month in advance, there was prior communication by email in the local language, with details, reservation, requests, etc. Everything was fine. When we arrived, they offered us a table facing the kitchen (the smell of meat was overwhelming, and it was very good, by the way, and the smoke stung our eyes). It wasn't even reserved; it was a table that just happened to be free. Since we had specified that it was an anniversary dinner, they could have chosen a more intimate table, as there were others available, but they gave us the first one that was free. Basically, we could have just arrived without a reservation and eaten straight to the table. What annoyed me the most was that I specified it was an anniversary and asked for a little something extra with the dessert, but they completely forgot. Anyway, I'm leaving this review so they'll be more considerate of their customers, especially those who come from another country, go to the trouble of making a reservation a month in advance in the local language, and then get nothing done. The food was very good; that's the only positive point.

Excellent mix of atmosphere and conviviality, it was my baptism of fire with Balkan cuisine and it went very well also thanks to the waitress who guided us in this experience with great advice.

Simply BRAVI! ANTONELLA welcomed us very well! Friendly and professional!!! Excellent food!!! Well done!!!

We sat outside, so we can't comment on the interior ambiance. The service was very friendly and the food was excellent! We'd be happy to go back!

Excellent Serbian culinary experience!!! But the service makes the difference!!! Very kind and friendly!!!

Probably one of the best places you can eat at Trieste! We have visited two times and both of them were excellent experiences. The food is typical Balkan cuisine, therefore lots of great quality meat, but also amazing appetizers. I would recommend to visit with a large company (4+) just to have the opportunity to try different things. We got the grigliata for 4 people and I think it could be enough to feed 6-7 persons! The staff are super friendly, polite and professional! Highly recommended!

I absolutely have to write a review: abundant and delicious dishes, very friendly waitress, very clean bathrooms, basically a fantastic place to absolutely return 🥰

An authentic Balkan trattoria, Serbian in particular. The food was all very good and the portions generous. The atmosphere is typical of Balkan homes, and the staff is truly welcoming and friendly. Highly recommended!

Très jolie cadre et service impeccable les plats sont très bons et à un tarif raisonnable. Je vous le recommande et nous serions ravis de pouvoir revenir…

siamo capitati a cena un sabato sera per caso nel nostro primo giro a Trieste, il locale è bellissimo ed accogliente, la mia metá ha chiacchierato per quasi tutta la cena con Antonella che, gentilissima, ci faceva visita spesso illustrandoci il menú. abbiamo assaggiato un misto delle principali portate, la cucina è tipica serba, siamo rimasti deliziati. alla fine ci hanno anche offerto un assaggio di vino "Terrano" indicandoci dove avremmo potuto comprarlo in zona. in definitiva, serata da sogno!
