    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.

    This was only a couple minute walk from my hotel and it was wonderful. We got there a little early…read moreso we were able to get seated right away. There was definitely a line for tables when we left. We wanted a light dinner so we only got lasagna and a glass of wine, but the service was wonderful and it was the best lasagna of my life. The interior of this restaurant was small, but really cute all the food at all the tables looked amazing. I would definitely want to eat here again and try more things. This was a wonderful dinner.

    Good things and a wonderful and authentic meal come to those who wait in line for about 25 minutes…read more Benvenuti alla trattoria Pontini! Absolutely spectacular seafood, pasta with that sauce that made us finish that third basket of bread wiping the dishes clean, lasagna that tasted like Nonna was in the kitchen; warm and loving staff that made us feel like 20 Million Euros, a fantastic accordion player who played all the great Italian classics, reasonable prices, a lovely and inviting interior, seating outside with views of the canal in this the Cannaregio district & melt in the mouth Tiramisu that made us request to leave that big rectangular baking dish, serving spoon( and bib) on the trolley by our tables. After this extravaganza please do walk that 1.7 km or 1.1 miles to the romantic gondola hubs in St Mark's to continue loving and enjoying Venezia.
