“ Such a nice restaurant in central Trieste. Beautiful atmosphere and decorations. Service is great. The house wine is fantastic and the pasta dishes me and my friends had were so flavorful, the seafood was great and the chocolate cake was particularly phenomenal. Add this to your list if your in Trieste. ”
“ The food here was really delicious. We took the fried fish coated in pistachio to share as a starter, it’s a main but makes a good starter – if I was getting it as a main I would probably order a side. Then after that we ordered one of the specials which was truffle pasta, which was so delicious and very reasonably priced. I would definitely go here again. All the servers were really friendly and attentive — and spoke good English (but they have the menu available in English and German, so you can just point things out too) ”
“ Excellent Italian seafood & pasta dishes in a quaint restaurant in the center of Trieste. All our dishes were wonderful, including an amazing gnocchi with whitefish, paccheri pasta with squid, fresh orata (sea bream) and a delicious panna cotta for dessert. Highly recommended.

“ Super cute authentic Italian restaurant. Was lucky enough to get a table on a Saturday thanks to the accommodating staff. Had the mixed seafood starter which delightfully surprised me with a curry sauce for some of the shrimp. The pistachio fish was new and delicious as well as the squid ink pasta. Delicious wine, everything was well priced, romantic atmosphere and all all-round fantastic dinner with a special thank you to our server Sandra who helped make our evening one to remember. ”
“ Stopped here while visiting Trieste. Small restaurant with few tables inside but, wow, the food was delicious and the service was great!! Their house cabernet was very good. The salad was so fresh! And the fried seafood platter was soooo good!! Every single item on that platter tasted like it had just been caught! Definitely recommend 5 stars all the way. The only regret I have is that we went on our last day so we couldn't enjoy it again. ”
“ Had excellent spaghetti vongole in a creamy sauce. Generous portions served in this family-operated restaurant. Friendly service. Highly recommended. ”
“ Food: The food was phenomenal and very reasonably priced (~ 12-20 euros/ dish). We had the fish of the day, tagliatelle with vegetables and tagliatelle with courgette and shrimps. There's really nothing to complain about, the food is simply great. Compliments to the chef! Service: The service was very friendly. Our waitress showed extraordinary patience and took a lot of time when we had misunderstandings when ordering. In her place, we would have understood very well if she had become impatient and quickly closed the order taking. She explained the food and wine well. A very endeavoured waitress! Atmosphere: The restaurant is located in a side street of a somewhat larger street. You can hear the traffic, but it is by no means disturbing. The guest garden is surrounded by green plants, which creates a very pleasant atmosphere. The table was beautifully laid, and we especially liked the glasses. ”
