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!

Great tasting menu, excellent seafood! Neither the exterior…read morenor the interior is impressive, but I promise the food will make up for it - they probably pay attention to that way more than they do to design and decor. The tasting menu consists of 5 seafood courses and 5 glasses of wine. I am NOT a fan of seafood and I still loved every single course (dorade fish carpaccio, scallops, spaghetti with scampi, sea bass and dessert).

Well, it was interesting to discover a well regarded Glatt Kosher restaurant right in Canneragio,…read moreright over the Ponte delle Guglie near the Ghetto Ebraico (where the term Ghetto originated in the early 1500's.). It was a bit too cool once the sun went down, so we moved inside. Everything was excellent, Matzo Ball soup, lamb chops, hummus with mushrooms. Nice service. We were there on the early side but by the time we left the place was filled. If you have hopes to dine, especially during season, make a reservation for sure.

Gam Gam was so well reviewed and had such a unique premise that we were very excited to give it a…read morego. While the food wasn't bad, it didn't make good on the promise of a different kind of cuisine in Venice. The food was tasty enough, but the eggplant and pasta were both just solid versions of dishes readily available throughout the city. The eggplant was touted as a signature dish, but was merely an echo of others throughout the area. Aside from the hint of tahini it would be indistinguishable. Similarly, the tagliatelle pasta with salmon did little to make itself memorable. I believe that these dishes reflect the Kosher dining experience, but our high hopes were nonetheless dashed by their mediocrity. Gam Gam is not a breath of fresh air, although maybe we would have been happier had we thought of it as just another restaurant. After all, tomato sauce makes almost anything delicious.
