I migliori ristoranti di cucina mediterranea in Trieste

19/05/2026: Excellent meat and fish options (the tagliolini with fish sauce are highly recommended; they're truly delicious). The restaurant is small but very well-maintained and clean. I'd also like to add the attention to table service: the staff is courteous, fast, and friendly.

19/05/2026: ★★★★★ Best osteria in town. Amazing food, great atmosphere and super friendly staff. A must in Trieste!

15/06/2026: Today we had a reservation for 6 people, and you closed the restaurant without letting us know!!! If this kind of behavior seems normal to you! We obviously won't be returning because I had to rearrange a business lunch, much to the shame of the guests who weren't expecting this surprise!

10/06/2026: The atmosphere is welcoming and quaint, and the staff is very helpful and friendly. The food is very good, offering Trieste and local specialties. The prices are reasonable considering the excellent quality and quantity. Highly recommended.

21/05/2026: Great place, friendly waiters, excellent food, and fresh fish. I recommend the lemon and shrimp ravioli.

20/05/2026: Attentive service and special attention to the customer! Attilio, we'll see you again 😜

02/07/2026: yess! grilled octopus was toasted to perfection - crispy, with cream and pesto and tomato - really good. pizza delicata with cherry tomatoes, stracciatella and prosciutto was one of the best i've had, but there were some burned spots underneath that tasted bitter. otherwise, absolutely satisfying meal. a young woman served us she was very friendly :)

28/06/2026: Last night we spontaneously decided to find a good pizza place. It was very centrally located, and we had reserved in advance by calling ahead, as there was no availability on their online booking system. The staff spoke excellent English and were very helpful. The atmosphere, both inside and out, was lovely and welcoming, and the food arrived quickly. The appetizer and the pizza, which we shared because it was so large, were incredibly delicious and well-prepared. Including a bottle of water, the whole meal cost us no more than €25 – absolutely fantastic value for money!

16/07/2026: Without a doubt, this is one of the great restaurants not only in Trieste, but in Italy. The restaurant itself is worth the visit: it's a very well-preserved building from 1830. The atmosphere is elegant and the service is very kind, especially the maître d' and sommelier, Loris, a philosopher of the good life. We had 4 glasses of wine (excellent suggestions from Loris), 2 appetizers and 3 main courses. Don't miss the seafood risotto: one of the best we've ever tasted. Perfect evening!

15/07/2026: A magnificent place and flawless dishes – don't hesitate to go!

16/07/2026: Unfortunately the food isn't great - a total of 3 miniscule scallops in a scallop pasta dish and an American size portion, not tasty. Despite the greenery around the outdoor tables, the noise from the nearby street makes the ambience subpar. Not recommended.

10/07/2026: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We were absolutely thrilled! The food was fresh and delicious, and the service was warm and attentive. You immediately feel welcome. We will definitely be back and wholeheartedly recommend this restaurant!

14/05/2026: Very good food. Very fast. Friendly service for us non-Italian speakers.

12/05/2026: Family-friendly and affordable good food!

26/06/2026: I already knew I Maestri and had fond memories of it, which is why the episode left me even more perplexed. I was a guest with a reservation for two at 8:30 PM. Unfortunately, my train was delayed, so the restaurant was notified by phone: the understanding was that we would try to arrive by 9 PM, when the kitchen closed. When we couldn't, we ended up not showing up. An unpleasant mix-up, certainly. No one denies it. But the real highlight came later, when the owner decided to call to yell, accuse, and complain in an aggressive tone, turning a reservation cancelled due to a train delay into a dress rehearsal for a nervous breakdown. I would have understood the annoyance, a criticism, even a curt reprimand. I understand much less the need to launch into a frantic phone tirade, as if two missed table settings automatically authorized the suspension of good manners. A shame, because I fondly remembered the restaurant. Now I will remember it above all for the unexpected post-booking service: unwanted, shouted at, and definitely more indigestible than any bill.

25/06/2026: We finally managed to get a reservation at this small seafood restaurant in Trieste. The fish was incredibly fresh, and some dishes were original in their combinations. The owner is very kind and friendly; it was very hot, so she brought me a fan. A very positive experience, fair prices.

12/05/2026: After checking reviews and websites, I went to this restaurant with its well-deserved reputation. I spent the afternoon perusing their menu, which looked interesting, and my attention was drawn to the spider crab cicche 😍 So, around 8 pm, I arrived at the restaurant and immediately felt the local atmosphere envelop me. The decor is a mix of support for the local team and engravings and paintings depicting life in Trieste. A charmingly chaotic atmosphere and a barely electronic cash register were winning me over! The server greeted me with a smile and genuine warmth! The decor, the friendly service, and the other customers, all locals, were already whetting my appetite! That's it, I'm here, a local institution, everything I love! The waiter brought me the menu, and before I even had a chance to look at it, he informed me that there was no spider crab cicche that evening… The horror!!! What am I saying? The devastation! Seeing the profound sadness this news had caused me, he had the intelligence and immediate professionalism to offer me the same cicche with zucchini and sea bream. Initially hesitant, I decided to give it a try. I then opted for a fritto misto (mine had squid, sardines, and red mullet—it was excellent! From the photos on the website, I also get the impression that it changes depending on the season and the day's catch ❤️), followed by a presnitz, a local dessert, for dessert! I don't know what to say; I was transported. The cicche (small local gnocchi) completely captivated me, and everything else was just as good! Nothing is off the mark, nothing is deceiving, it's real food. When you eat there, you really eat! So thank you! And I can only recommend that you rush there when you're in Trieste!

03/05/2026: Nice service, food tasted good, portions are tiny

30/06/2026: This restaurant is a disaster, and it's an absolute mystery how they made it into the Michelin Guide. The waiter was incredibly arrogant when we made our reservation for the next day. The service that evening was abysmal. The side dish for the fish of the day was listed as potatoes, but they were missing. When we complained, we were told they should have been ordered separately. Oily fried potatoes arrived after we had already finished the fish. The staff didn't even notice our hasty departure or that we were asking for the bill. I've never encountered such a restaurant in the Michelin Guide. The good reviews are completely incomprehensible. There are far better restaurants in Trieste. Never again!

26/06/2026: Amazingly fresh seafood. Highlights are the spider crab, seafood soup and grilled squid.

30/03/2026: This restaurant, just steps from the city center, offers some of Trieste's signature dishes. The service is attentive and friendly, with detailed explanations of the dishes and wines. The price is more than reasonable for the quality of the ingredients and the service. The food is good and tasty.

22/03/2026: Recommended by a colleague. Great experience. Excellent food. Pistoia is the perfect place to enjoy authentic local cuisine.

11/07/2026: A great local neighbourhood eatery. Solid dishes.

03/07/2026: Excellent trattoria with exceptional quality food and a focus on local produce! "Trattoria" may seem like an understatement, but looks can be deceiving!

14/07/2026: Best views, amazing service and great food Must visit place in trieste

06/07/2026: I was tempted to give it 3 stars, but in the end I decided to give it 4 because we ate really well, and that remains the most important aspect for me. However, there are some details that, in my opinion, could be improved. The welcome was rather basic: a simple "hello" and little interaction. Considering that we were the only customers on the terrace when we arrived, I would have expected a little more attention. Another observation concerns the menu. Looking at the photos posted on Google in 2025, I had noticed a wider selection of first courses; today, the offerings seemed more limited, and I was initially a bit surprised. Fortunately, the waiter was very kind and helpful, accommodating our request and preparing an excellent "custom" first course for us, which we thoroughly enjoyed. The only comment about the food concerns the cold appetizer, which I found slightly underpriced for the price, especially when compared to the first courses, which were plentiful, well-prepared, and excellent value. Overall, I believe that greater attention to hospitality and customer service would make the experience even more enjoyable. Despite these observations, we were satisfied with the meal and I highly recommend this restaurant.

13/07/2026: They're very kind and helpful. The food is delicious, and the atmosphere is very welcoming. I recommend it.

07/07/2026: The food is very delicious, the portions are ample, the service is fast and friendly. It's worth stopping in and trying it out, we would come back.

25/06/2026: Very nice and charming staff. Popular pub with good reason.

25/06/2026: What an absolutely fantastic restaurant! We ordered the wine and fish on recommendation. It was a total explosion of flavor. We'd give it six stars if we could and we're incredibly impressed. Thank you so much! 👍🏼
