The food was delicious and fresh. Large portions. The waiters do not speak English. Long waiting time for food. In summary, a recommended place to eat in Trieste.

We arrived late on Saturday evening and without a reservation, but were nevertheless served with warmth and kindness. The food was excellent and the wine was good. We will definitely be back.

The restaurant is well located, the food is excellent, and the service is prompt. I recommend the orecchiette with swordfish, which is truly excellent. The staff is very welcoming and friendly. The prices are fair, considering the quality of the food.

We had dinner on Saturday night with my girlfriend and two friends, and even though we arrived close to closing time, the very kind staff seated us. The spaghetti with clams was delicious, I'll definitely be back!

Excellent food, fresh and beautifully presented.
Prompt and attentive service.
The mussels, Trieste-style, were delicious, as were the bruschetta. The first course was plentiful and truly delicious. It's not a dish you can make, but mopping up the sauce with bread was a must.
The cassata was delicious. Thank you so much for everything.

If you're looking for a slice of Sicily in Trieste, Taverna Montalbano is an excellent choice. The atmosphere is typical of old-fashioned trattorias, where substance matters more than form. The spaghetti with clams was fresh and flavorful, but the real highlight was the fettuccine with shrimp and pistachios.
The only area that could be improved is the thermal comfort during the winter: unfortunately, many customers forget to leave the front door open when entering or leaving, allowing cold drafts to bleed through, which can be quite annoying for those eating nearby. Overall, it's still a very positive experience that I recommend to anyone seeking well-crafted, passionate Southern cuisine.

Despite the late hour and the lack of a reservation, we quickly found a table for two. The wait times were reasonable, as explained on the menu, and consistent with the food preparation. The dishes were standard, and you could taste the quality of the product. The bill was fair, and the staff was friendly and helpful.
