I migliori ristoranti di cucina mediterranea in Friuli venezia giulia

02/08/2025: When they say, "The best things come in small packages," this is exactly what you feel at the end of every culinary experience at "ai Maestri." You can enjoy excellent, fresh fish dishes—always original and delicious, in my opinion—of superior quality in a small, historic restaurant in the heart of Trieste. Furthermore, not to be overlooked is the friendliness and professionalism of the owners, who embrace you with special attention and pamper you so you can truly feel at home, and this was greatly appreciated. What more can I say? I recommend it not only for the food but also for everything it represents.

01/08/2025: Open until 11pm, but the kitchen closes at 9:30pm, embarrassing

01/09/2025: Very friendly, courteous staff, great prices, and amazing quality. Thank you ☆☆☆☆☆

01/09/2025: A great restaurant in Lignano's pedestrian zone that serves delicious food. Fair value for money. Super friendly staff and a great location. Excellent fish and seafood dishes. We'd love to come back.

26/07/2025: Absolutely great, would absolutely recommend. The frittura mista was excellent, as were the pasta dishes and antipasti. Fair prices.

26/07/2025: An absolute top address. Friendly staff, fair prices, and generous portions.

26/08/2025: The food is excellent and the prices are reasonable. You sit outside, not far from a busy road but within easy reach of a traffic light. The meat was of good quality and cooked to perfection. The pizza was very well-topped and very tasty. The staff is friendly and accommodating. The menu is also available in German. We will definitely be back.

25/08/2025: We've been vacationing in Italy for 8 years. We've never eaten such good pizza 🍕 as we did here. We also had a pasta dish and said one meal for two kids. And they served it on two plates. Great service. Very friendly. Everyone tries very hard. My son also said the tagliatelle a salmon was delicious. The restaurant is very well-kept and clean. It's worth a visit. The wine was also great. Although coperto is still cheaper. We paid everything together for under 60 euros.

18/08/2025: We wandered in by chance and left thrilled by the quality and service. The best trattoria in Trieste

18/08/2025: The blackboard at the entrance reads "the best trattoria in Trieste." It's true.

27/06/2025: A team of professionals at your service who make the time spent there a special experience

26/06/2025: Seabass, calamari, apple strudel. Everything was perfect. Highly recommend this place!

11/08/2025: The seafood risotto was amazing! The price was in line with the setting. The only downside was the soy sauce on the tuna (but that's just my personal opinion).

09/08/2025: “What wines do you have?” “Eeeeh Merlotti, Pinot Noir, Cabernetti, and one I can't remember the name of.” “What to eat?” “Recchiette with pesto, Begoli with meatballs, and Saltimbucca alla romana.” Tragicomic.

29/08/2025: It's very calm and tranquil place with great food. The menu is changing and they have what I thought was weird combination turned out to be a great combination. I had a duck breast with grapes. I didn't know these would go so well together. The staffs are nice too. If you are tired of same italian menus everywhere, then try here.

23/08/2025: Professionalism and courtesy characterize this wonderful place.

25/06/2025: Passing through Gorizia we came across this little restaurant where we found excellent quality food, excellent house wine at a more than reasonable price and above all great friendliness of the owners. I recommend the linguine with clams, really very good, and the fried calamari, light and crunchy. We will definitely try to return!

10/06/2025: Everything about this experience delivered above and beyond any expectations. The pictures do not do it justice, the food here was some of the best of my trip and even of my life (pork cheeks and chestnuts). This meal was traditional yet creative and comfortable truly delicious end to end with amazing hospitality throughout.

19/08/2025: Very good food, very honest. Italian dishes, imposible not to find something for your tasting.

18/08/2025: Neat location and friendly staff. The appetizer and main course were very good. I have to go back for the pizza!

17/08/2025: We booked dinner on the 16th for 9 friends. The waiter took our orders in a very chaotic manner, mislabeling the dishes. The meat was definitely high-quality, especially the Fassona tartare. Spaghetti with clams had an excessive amount of garlic. The prices were quite high, and the service left much to be desired.

16/08/2025: The food was good. Ordered a medium fillet, but it arrived overcooked. Then it was too hot inside and smelled heavily of smoke...

31/07/2025: Just a fantastic experience every year.

19/07/2025: Gentlemen...!! Regardless of the fact that I'm a National Socialist fascist A resounding welcome and divine food Ferdinando, a comrade to be cloned, a wonderful person 🤗

09/08/2025: Really nice restaurant off side from tourist hotspots. Great and friendly service and of course sensational food - the fresh fish we shared was amazing and seemed like your Italian nonna made it with the sidedishes. Thanks to the team

05/08/2025: It was my parents' wedding anniversary, and we found ourselves in Trieste to visit the city. Not being very experienced, we showed up without a reservation at lunchtime, but the owner was kind enough to give us a table anyway. The place is small but truly a gem, very well-kept, and you can tell their motto is few customers but select, high-quality ingredients. In fact, we had a divine lunch, choosing four delicious seafood starters, all made with the freshest fish. The very friendly wait staff also gave us tips on what to see in the city. If I'm ever in Trieste again, I'll stop by and will definitely recommend this restaurant to friends. Thank you again for saving our lunch ☺️

16/08/2025: Fantastic! The fish is incredibly fresh and prepared with care, grace, and simplicity, preserving all the flavors of the sea. Quality is hard to find elsewhere.

15/08/2025: I hadn't been to this restaurant in about 20 years, but it's still as I remembered: beautiful atmosphere, friendly service, and above all, tasty, fresh dishes and generous portions. Excellent value.

05/08/2025: One of my favorite places. Well done. I have nothing else to add.

06/07/2025: Amazing lunch experience at this seafood restaurant! I went last week with my boyfriend. We had the raw fish appetizers, two first courses (half portions), and a second course. Everything was phenomenal. Impeccable service with very kind staff. Very fair price for the quality of the dishes.
