Buffet da Rudy is the most Triestine kind of buffet you can find. This is the real deal where you…read morewill see people that work in Trieste take a lunch break eating a plate of boiled pork or just a panino standing up and then rushing back to work! Quite cheap especially compared to other more "famous" options.

The owner welcomed us with a smile and was extremely helpful. The Jota soup was fantastic, and the Bavarian sample plater I had (forgot the name) was enough food for 2. My wife had the smoked pork plater, which she too couldn't finish. Great atmosphere and food in a cozy place that you'd expect to find in Munich, but right here in Trieste.

Scarpon has been there forever, offering a homey feeling, no big scenes, no pretentiousness, just very good food at very good price and a friendly service. Scarpon has plenty of traditional Trieste dishes, but specializes in fish and seafood, so indulge, because this quality at these prices is very hard to find. I can't even suggest what you eat, haven't had anything that wasn't very good. If you visit from the USA you will probably pass out when you see the price of the branzino here: we are talking about a great fish offered at US hamburger prices! Scarpon is a legend in Trieste and for good reasons! *** Scarpon e' uno dei locali tradizionali di Trieste. Senza tanti fronzoli e sceneggiate gourmet, Scarpon offre ottimi piatti ad ottimi prezzi. Potrete provare diversi piatti classici Triestini ma la specializzazione qui e' il pesce: sempre buono, sempre ben curato, prezzi davvero piu' che ragionevoli. L'atmosfera e' famigliare, rilassata, ma il servizio e' sempre attento; cordialita' senza strafare, praticamente perfetto. Cosa provare? Potrei dire tutto, ma diciamo che dovrete provare i vari antipasti di mare, il pesce intero sia branzino, o orata o rombo e fanno delle ottime paste con i frutti di mare. Assolutamente da visitare se siete a Trieste e soprattutto se avete voglia di pesce buono senza lasciarci mezza paga.

Plenty of good fresh and authentic Istrian dishes with competitive pricing and atmosphere.read more

Rating: 88/100 pts…read more Fate brought me to Alla Voliga when I was in search of good local food, and the meal certainly did not disappoint. I walked in just as they were opening for lunch, and being the only customer in what looked more like the deck of a ship than a restaurant, I actually wasn't sure if I was in the right spot until a few minutes of waiting when the owner popped out of the kitchen and led me to a table. "We have the best fish soup in Trieste, and the second best in Italy," he tells me proudly. I peruse the Italian-only menu and understand almost none of it. While not confident in his own English skills, the owner patiently gave me a few other non-soup recommendations. I ended up settling on the "little of this, little of that" seafood combo. Out came a fantastic platter of sardine, barley-mixed octopus, olive-mixed squid, oysters, and about 5 other things that he didn't know the English for and that I couldn't identify. Everything tasted like it had been freshly caught that morning. It also came with bread, and a huge slice of polenta, which to this day is the best polenta I've ever had. Prices were very reasonable, and I'd definitely go back next time I find myself in Trieste...even if it's just to try that seafood soup that hindsight tells me I probably should have ordered.

My husband and I had dinner at Al Bagatto when we were in Trieste for a day on a road trip from…read moreZagreb to Ljubljana earlier this summer. It was one of the best meals of our trip! Al Bagatto has been around for almost 50 years, and it was easy to see why. The food was outstanding. The service was wonderful. The ambiance was great - comfortable, traditional without being old-fashioned...just a restaurant where you're happy to sit and enjoy good food. We shared: breaded white asparagus with grilled green asparagus, green asparagus sauce beurre blanc, and grated egg yolk; stuffed squid with potatoes, green beans, calamari ragout, pistachio pesto, spring caponata, calamari sauce, and pistachio crumble; paccheri with shrimp ragout, seared shrimp, fava beans, and pea sauce; lasagna with rabbit ragout, pepper sauce, jalapeno sauce, yellow bell peppers, and Parmesan bechamel; and apricot tiramisu. We enjoyed a great bottle of wine and a couple of espressos with dessert as well. Every dish was great, but that stuffed squid is one I'm going to be thinking about for a long time. A truly outstanding meal! If I'm ever in Trieste again, I'd be happy to repeat the experience!

The tasting menu consists of 5 seafood courses and 5 glasses of wine.
