I migliori ristoranti di cucina mediterranea in Trieste

21/08/2025: Very good tuna steak and friendly service!

21/08/2025: Very good, fresh food. 👌The chef is very friendly and attentive, and will even explain the menu in detail if you wish. We had tuna steak and ravioli with pesto. Excellent. Great value for money.

12/08/2025: Exceptional! The meal was excellent and the service very friendly! I highly recommend!

30/07/2025: I was fortunate enough to enjoy gourmet dishes, excellent quality and excellent value. The family atmosphere, yet original offerings, traditional dishes, and excellent house wine, created a wonderful atmosphere to share with friends or family. I gave it 5 stars simply because it's the best I can give!

13/08/2025: We found this very authentic local restaurant. One page menu, specialized in sea food. It’s one of those small places that puts their heart and soul into the restaurant. They had a special local mussel (mussoli) on the menu, which was slightly more chewy than black mussels but it was such a fun experience to taste something new. I hate touristy places and I am always looking for the unique & authentic gastronomic experiences. This definitely hit the spot! I had the sea bass for main course which was delicious and perfectly cooked. The gnocchi was incredible, I would say one of the best home made gnocchi I ever tasted. The dessert was quite small but beautiful balance of flavors. To top it off, they sold house wine. We tried the sparkling white wine which was delicious and only added to the great experience. Would 100% recommend it if you like seafood!

01/08/2025: A vegetarian writes a review of a fish restaurant: When booking the previous evening, when I asked for a vegetarian dish (my companion was keen to eat there because they had brodetto on the menu), they told me there were none (not even fries), but promised to have them the following evening. Their promise was more than kept: They had bought a tub of porcini mushrooms and made a wonderful salad of raw porcini mushrooms, Sedano, and Parmesan cheese, served with fried potato slices. My companion was equally delighted with his grilled scallops and the Zuppa di Pesce, which was a real fish soup. Such good food and perfect service (even though there were only two of them) made for a very enjoyable evening.

27/08/2025: Friendly staff. Good food and fast service. Clean restrooms. Fair prices.

23/08/2025: The food was good, the location on the canal was very nice.

22/08/2025: We arrived without a reservation and they very kindly found us a table. We ordered a few courses and everything was delicious. I'd like to emphasize the friendliness of the staff once again.

22/08/2025: Good at everything, you're on an assembly line but you don't realize it

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

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

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

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.

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!

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 ☺️

05/08/2025: Very good fish, I also recommend marinated sardines… whoa something amazing. Its in the port but its not overpriced like a port. Also… amazing plates

05/08/2025: We went there as a family for dinner. The service was friendly and fast. Nice atmosphere, a bit like all outdoor restaurants, but noisy. We ordered mixed bruschetta for €12.00. We received four bruschettas, two with tomato and basil (I make that at home too) and two with fish on top. But I say, if I go to a seafood restaurant, I want to find seafood specialties on the bruschetta, not tomato... a bit of variety, my goodness. The bruschetta itself, the bread on the outside, was very hard and chewy. We ordered a whole wheat pizza by the chef for €18.00. I asked for the prosciutto to be removed (because I don't eat pork) and tuna and onion to be added. At the end of the bill, I saw the tuna and onion added on top for another €4! So, the pizza came to €22! So, if I make you remove a key ingredient from this special pizza, don't add any extra costs. And if you want to gain new customers, since it was our first time there, I'll be fine. The sweet, dried-out cherry tomatoes ruin the entire flavor because they add a hint of sweetness. It's best to remove them from this excellent special pizza. Then the mixed fried fish platter for €22. I would have expected more imagination and variety. The special pizza was very good, with melt-in-your-mouth buffalo mozzarella. I've never tasted it so fresh. I recommend using less oil on the special whole wheat pizza.

22/08/2025: This is a special place. Thank you, Paolo, for the best fish I've ever eaten. This is a restaurant where love is poured into every detail: it's not just about the food, but about savoring every moment of the evening. Thank you so much again, Paolo.

04/08/2025: Excellent service and friendliness, fresh and tasty food

04/07/2025: It’s a hidden gem 💗 the food tasted amazing, the soup is must-have if somebody visits Trieste! The service was also top tier.

01/07/2025: A unique and memorable experience.
