I migliori ristoranti di cucina mediterranea in Trieste

25/10/2025: We enjoyed everything! Super good and the portions were just right! The hospitality was top notch. We'll be back. I don't like taking pictures of food, but today I made an exception... ...we've been back and will be back again. This time I'm sharing the before and after of two dishes....superb!!! Thank you

11/10/2025: Recommended trattoria, with tasty and beautifully presented seafood dishes. Friendly owners. We opted for mussels with chili pepper instead of pepper, and instead of the mussels with pepper, we opted for mussels with impeperoncina (a type of mussels with pepper), followed by fish gratin and sardines in saor (sautéed sardines). The house wine by the glass is good, both still and sparkling. Prices are reasonable. Free street parking is available near the restaurant. Worth a stop for some food and wine.

02/12/2025: A very traditional and rustic place, recommended for those like me who want to experience the place authentically and eat fresh produce! The pasta with clams is exceptional, the grilled scallops are excellent. The staff is friendly and cheerful, very welcoming!

26/10/2025: Excellent food. Finally, a clam pasta dish worthy of the name. The wait time and bill were reasonable. The staff were friendly and attentive.

05/12/2025: Osteria da Marino is one of the best places to eat in Trieste, we could say, if it weren't for the fact that I only went to six restaurants, but anyway, it was my favorite. The service was spectacular; they found me a comfortable table despite the relatively small size of the place and the fact that I was alone, which is always a challenge for good restaurants. I ordered a goulash or ragù (whatever it's called) that was amazing, 8.5/10. I ordered a glass of wine that would complement the food, and it did. And best of all: they were playing great music! From Radiohead to Arctic Monkeys, including Bowie and Jack White! Music is so important in these public spaces; in that respect, a 10 out of 10. Autumn 2025.

18/11/2025: Osteria da Marino absolutely disarmed me. When you walk in, you see a humble, technically limited space, simple to the point where you don’t expect much. And that’s exactly why the impact is so strong: from a place like this, you do NOT expect food of this level. Their menu is short but brilliant. Every dish is executed with an incredibly gentle, precise and confident hand. Seasoning is minimal, yet so perfectly judged that the flavours remain clean, pure and beautifully balanced. This kind of cooking comes only from someone who truly knows what they’re doing, and who trusts the quality of their ingredients. Gentle seasoning reveals everything, the hand, the skill, the truth. This place is a true gem for gourmets, for those who eat with their heart and appreciate nuance. For me, this was genuine food for the soul. A modest space, a short menu, and unexpectedly outstanding cooking. As a hospitality professional, they genuinely made me stop and think about every bite. Thank you!

07/12/2025: I've been going to this restaurant for 50 years under various managements, but I have to say that under the current management, the food isn't good...unfortunately, it's become a tourist hotspot. Let's hope it improves.

07/12/2025: An excellent restaurant specializing in seafood, but also serving meat dishes. The pergola-covered terrace offers a stunning sea view. Situated beneath the Vittoria lighthouse, it offers a distinctive local menu, local wines, impeccable service, and impeccable cuisine.

01/12/2025: Food and service were very good and fast. Would gladly come again.

30/11/2025: Good italian specialitetes , extra

08/12/2025: Sought and found: perfect grace

12/11/2025: Unassuming from the outside, a culinary gem inside. We've been there three times and were pleasantly surprised each time: outstanding food quality and flavorful preparation. Salads are always fresh and crisp; the fish is of excellent quality, perfectly cooked, and attractively presented. The staff are very friendly and attentive. Highly recommended!

13/12/2025: Business dinner, with a fixed menu, homemade pasta, everything delicious, excellent experience

05/11/2025: One of the best restaurants I’ve ever been to. Excellent fish, great service, wonderful atmosphere, and outstanding hospitality. All in all, 5 out of 5!

14/12/2025: A venerable old coffee house, where you can still feel the charm of the bygone Austro-Hungarian era. The service staff is friendly and competent. If you're looking for a "stylish" establishment, this isn't the place for you. The adjoining bookstore is also worth seeing and reading. The lunch menu is also worth mentioning: typical Triestine dishes prepared and served with care.

13/12/2025: Trieste's charming historic café since 1914

15/12/2025: We tried the €70 per person tasting menu and the experience was truly excellent and enjoyable. ✨ Tasting Dishes ​The journey was a crescendo of interesting flavors and bold combinations, culminating in a flawless trio of desserts. ​Appetizers: ​Sea Bream Carpaccio with Coconut Cream and Lovage Oil: An extraordinary start. The delicacy of the sea bream meets the exotic sweetness of the coconut and the aromatic freshness of the lovage oil. A perfect combination of flavors. ​Venison Tartare, Giardiniera, Crescenza Cream, and Olive Terra: An amazing dish. The venison was completely delicate, surprisingly free of the expected "gamey" flavor, beautifully balanced by the savory flavor of the giardiniera and olives. Truly an excellent execution. ​Mushrooms, Potato Foam, Kimchi, Mayonnaise, and Yuzu Sphere: An excellent combination. The combination of the earthiness of the mushrooms and the fermented, savory touch of the kimchi was very balanced and intriguing, thanks to the citrusy note of the yuzu. ​First and Second Courses ​Parsley and Garlic Risotto with Snails: A rustic yet elegant first course, very well executed and flavorful. ​Octopus on a Cream of Celeriac and Puntarelle: A dish that never disappoints. Simple, but the cooking of the octopus and the bitterness of the puntarelle combined with the sweetness of the celeriac make it a winner. ​Desserts ​The meal concluded with a trio of high-quality desserts: ​Sorbet Sample ​Crème Catalana with Tonka Beans: Excellent! The tonka beans lend a spicy, vanilla-like aroma that elevates the classic crème Catalana. Chocolate Fondant Chips with Coffee Bavarian Cream 🤵 Service and Atmosphere ​The atmosphere is pleasant and the setting is refined. The staff is knowledgeable and attentive, helping to make the experience relaxing and professional. ​Only note: It's a shame we couldn't opt ​​for a wine pairing by the glass for the courses; maybe next time! ​Petes is highly recommended. It was a pleasant discovery, and we'll definitely be back to try other dishes we saw on the menu, like the Marrowbone, which piqued our curiosity. The wine list I consulted was excellent.

06/12/2025: Impeccable. Excellent food, impeccable service. Lovely setting in a pedestrian area, making parking a problem.

30/11/2025: Truly excellent food, courteous staff, and an intimate, romantic atmosphere. Truly five-star.

11/11/2025: A wonderful experience, a heartfelt thank you to Mr. Eugenio and his staff. Yesterday we were at the Malcanton to celebrate my son's graduation. There were 14 of us, all thrilled with the atmosphere and service. Mr. Eugenio is a great host and a very helpful person.

19/10/2025: Very friendly waiter, unfortunately the kitchen was a complete failure. The tuna as a main course was meager and bad. The triamisu was also watery and old, oh dear, oh dear. Completely forgot about the cold payta. Years ago, it was completely different.

16/10/2025: Seafood was fresh, perfectly prepared, and delicious. Unfortunately, the mixed fish grill only had a small piece of fish, otherwise seafood.

26/05/2025: Excelente comida. Teníamos el pollo y la tagliata de ternera, ambos muy tiernos y cocinados por expertos. El vino de la casa era un delicioso merlot. Ambiente muy relajado y acogedor. Tenemos nuestro conserje del hotel para agradecer la recomendación, ya que desde la calle parece un bar de vinos. Está a dos cuadras del lugar donde atracan los cruceros, por lo que es muy céntrico.

09/03/2025: Como recomendó el conserje en nuestro (excelente) hotel en Trieste, esto fue acogedor, buena comida, super elección de vinos por copa y buena relación calidad-precio. ¿Qué más se puede pedir? Tuvimos una comida variada y magníficamente ejecutada - el sarro de ternera y el pollo lento - cocinado eran ambos sobresalientes - y cuando el conserje del hotel y sus colegas llegaron para su almuerzo, entendimos su recomendación! No lo dudes.

04/10/2025: Amazing fresh seafood prepared to perfection.

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.

03/12/2025: Very friendly family management, the pizza is super

13/11/2025: Excellent pizza, really good dough and ingredients. Friendly service. It's a shame about the odor management. You always leave with pizza-smelling clothes. Better ventilation management is needed.
