I migliori ristoranti di cucina italiana in Trieste

11/01/2026: I order pizzas every week, excellent quality/price, I recommend

10/01/2026: Not family friendly. We entered this restaurant during opening hours, completely empty, in memory of our ten-year anniversary. It was the restaurant where we ate before making our relationship official. This time, however, we were going with our two children. The owner denied us entry, blaming the lack of space, especially for the stroller (which was foldable, by the way, but whatever). We immediately assumed our presence was unwelcome because we had two small children with us. This was confirmed shortly afterward when we called to ask if there were four free seats, and were told yes. This is simply yet another anti-family friendly restaurant, one we will never go to again. Congrats!

07/01/2026: A wonderful osmiza (a farm in the Karst region between Trieste and Slovenia where you can enjoy excellent cured meats and cheeses produced on-site) with plenty of seating and large tables inside, a beautiful glass-enclosed veranda (we ate here since it was January 3rd), and plenty of space outside. The ample parking is an added bonus. We sampled truly excellent cured meats and cheeses, savory strudels, and sausages in bread...all at very reasonable prices and with excellent service: everyone was very friendly, kind, and helpful, creating a relaxed and family-friendly atmosphere in a beautiful location surrounded by a lovely lawn with olive trees and farm animals. I had a great time and highly recommend it!

04/01/2026: Excellent food, very warm atmosphere

17/01/2026: Excellent Neapolitan-style pizza, but a little thinner.... You can also get dough made with other flours.... The pizzas are well-prepared and well-matched.... I would add some tasty fried foods.

16/01/2026: I don't think I'll go back, even if it's my second time in years. There's no reason to do so other than lack of time. And it's at 7:40 PM, anyway!

19/01/2026: I stayed in Trieste for a weekend at the end of December. I was impressed by this restaurant, which I went for lunch and then returned for dinner. The menu offered a wide selection of carefully prepared dishes. I tried the "cauldron di mare" (seawater boiler); I still remember the flavor of those shrimp, the best I've ever tasted for freshness and quality. Spaghetti allo scoglio (seafood spaghetti), a super-abundant and delicious dish, flavorful yet delicate. The cod, the fried calamari.... the fish menu was a total hit! The table service was very friendly and efficient. Attilio was quick to serve, attentive, and helpful. The quality-price ratio was excellent. I will definitely choose this restaurant when I return to Trieste.

10/01/2026: We went to eat at the pop-up restaurant just around the corner, Skaramanzia, and it's still the same owners. We'd read that you could get their best sellers, and we wanted to try both the ravioli and the seafood. In the end, we ordered these two starters and also made some different appetizers by mixing the two menus. Wow! My partner and I were thrilled and have already booked for next week, when we're bringing more friends! Well done, guys, and see you very soon.

12/12/2025: We found it by chance and appreciated its simple, traditional Trieste dishes. The simple atmosphere conveys history and a passion for cooking.

09/12/2025: Excellent quality, traditional Trieste food. Friendly, courteous, and fast service.

20/01/2026: There is no better place for a proper sandwich or something else, even if it is always crowded with people, you can always find a seat thanks to the very fast and competent staff.

14/01/2026: Excellent food, especially hot cooked dishes and horseradish. Friendly and courteous service. Informal atmosphere.

16/01/2026: Excellent food, they also make very good buffet sandwiches

14/01/2026: The restaurant's strong points are its speed of service (if you go during peak hours, you'll obviously have to wait a bit, but there's a high turnover rate), courtesy, cleanliness, and food quality. Some dishes are different every day. Adequate portions and reasonable prices. It's ideal for those who need a quick meal, such as a worker on a break, but even a passing tourist can enjoy the local cuisine. I highly recommend it.

02/12/2025: We had a really great breakfast.....unfortunately I can't take a photo because we already ate everything 😂

15/11/2025: They also have some tables inside, if you want to eat there. (I haven't seen a toilet, but maybe they have one, if you ask.)

06/12/2025: A place not to be missed, absolutely!! Excellent

20/11/2025: On Saturday, November 15, 2025, a friend and I were looking for a typical Trieste place where we could eat a good hot ham sandwich and some other delicacies, as true Triestine people often do. Luckily, the 5 or 6 places we usually go to were all closed... it was 2:45 PM... I say fortunately because when we arrived at Barriera, we looked at each other and said together, "Let's go there," seeing everything open. We found all the staff professional, friendly, and welcoming, and they seated us with a smile. We immediately ordered 2 ham and eggplant sandwiches, which were amazing, 1 ham and gorgonzola, which was even better, 2 beers, and 300 grams of ham for home, since just the thought of having already finished it made your mouth water, and all at a very fair total price. We used to go to 5 or 6 places for years, now we'll only go to one place... "Salumeria a mano" Go there and you'll hit the mark. Congratulations to everyone Staff...Alessandro and Rea will be back to you very soon.

09/01/2026: Truly excellent. The staff is very kind and attentive, always ready to help you, the owner is very helpful, it's nice that he comes personally to check if everything is okay. The delicious food is of the highest quality and the welcoming atmosphere I absolutely recommend 🥰🥰🔝💯

06/01/2026: Perfect food and our Croatian waiter was the most helpful and accommodating. He made sure our kids had the most amazing off menu pasta. Many thanks 🙏🏼

10/12/2025: Very elegant, but not at all exaggerated. I've seen many gluten-free pastries, but this one is definitely the best in Trieste and easily in the top 5 in all of northern Italy.

10/12/2025: I hate to give a negative review, especially since the atmosphere is very nice. Table service was very slow; after a 20-minute wait, I got up and left. The waiter (alone in the dining room) started serving tables full of people who had literally just arrived, ignoring me.

02/01/2026: The pizza had a very tasty and crispy crust, and the service was very friendly and helpful. The lady asked if the kids could have their pizza cut in half and have an extra plate. The pizza oven perfectly captures the atmosphere. The price is very reasonable.

01/01/2026: The place in Trieste with the absolute best music in the background. The food is delicious. If it is pasta, pizza or anything else, it is very tasty and deliciously presented. The staff is really nice and you get very good value for your money. I highly recommend this place.

09/10/2025: A welcoming place that makes you feel at home. The owner is very talented. I recommend it for a unique and alternative evening.

27/09/2025: Delicious food, friendly service, nice restaurant, not expensive

19/01/2026: Hidden gem that's mostly visited by locals. The food is delicious. I had the bruschetta and the pasta tricolore which was full of flavour. It's a shame I didn't discover this until the last day of my trip. Would definitely recommend.

03/01/2026: An excellent place for a quiet dinner, featuring local, top-quality products. A real surprise, beyond expectations.

14/12/2025: Very fresh fish, excellent cuisine. We were really satisfied... and great value for money too!

28/11/2025: Excellent experience. Delicious, high-quality seafood dishes, from appetizers to main courses. Delicious bread and excellent service: friendly staff and expert chef. The atmosphere is warm and intimate, well-maintained, and reasonably priced for the quality of the food. We'll definitely return. I'd add a vegetarian option for appetizers, first courses, and main courses.
