    The San Marco is not the oldest caffe in Trieste but is one of the 'historic caffes' and has been open since 1914. Earlier in the 20th C it was a haven for writers and other artists and now is a social and culturall meeting point for locals and students and popular as a place to stop for a drink after work. It has a relaxed atmosphere in a beautiful art deco building.

    All of the food was very nicely prepared and presented. We enjoyed wonderful salads: Insalata de verdure di stagione and 'caprese' which was wonderful fresh mozzarela and tomatoes. Then I had focaccia con proscuitto and fromaggio and my wife had a 'piadina,' a paninni with proscuitto, crudo and fromaggio all accompanied by a nice Terrano wine. For dessert a 'lo strudel di mele o ricotta', a very nice honey and cheese strudel with really good coffee.

    Thanks to our VT friend Paoseo for suggesting this wonderful place.

    Trattoria citte di Londra: Excellent Seafood in a Quaint Surrounding

    With Trieste being right on the sea, you should expect that the seafood would be excellent and fresh. That is exactly the case at the Trattoria di Londra. Friends of Banjo own the establishment, and we decided to have a feast on my last night in Trieste, so we headed here.

    I must say that the food is splended. You are given ample opportunity to drink, as the wine flows freely here. The owners, while friends of Banjo's to be sure, were nonetheless extremely friendly and "outgoing"... or drunk, whatever you want to call it. We had an unbelievabely good time here, and I am sure that you will as well.

    If you are lucky, they might break out the monstorous 5 liter bottle of grappa at the end of your meal!! Or, is that unlucky....

    Everything seafood...

    The "Bar Udine" is a bar providing also a restaurant service. You can eat a wide range of dishes, including typical recipes of the region and Slav cuisines, such as jota (a soup of Trieste with sausages, I think; I've never eaten it), gulash (the typical Hungarian stew) or Polish-like cabbage (never eaten, either).

    I particularly like some dishes offered in Bar Udine:
    1) "rigatoni alla burina": pasta with minced sausage, tomato sauce and a drop of cream. They are very tasty but rather heavy;
    2) "fusilli alla mediterranea": cold pasta with little mozzarellas, tomatos, olives: very refreshing;
    3) "salsicce friulane con patatine": Friulan sausages with chips;
    4) go and taste...

    There are couple of very good restaurants in Trieste, especially those situated along Riviera di Barcola. In spite of that I suggest you the taste of local Mediterranean cuisine in one of the small trattorias which can be find in the second row of the streets behind Riva. This one, unfortunatelly I cannot remember the name, is situated very close to the hotel Duci d'Aosta.
    Thanks to the member C.M., I find the name of the restaurant.

    Definetely the seafood.
    - spaghetti al olio con peperoncino
    - calamari ala grilla
    - wine of course

    Da Libero: Is this a restaurant or a legend?

  • This is not a normal restaurant! It should be visited like a museum or a church. I found out that the italian newspaper, Corriere della Sera, devoted a whole page to this place. But..why ? Libero is one of the last inns in Trieste, and one of the most typical in Italy. Signor Libero has transformed this place into an inn full of memories, stories and legends. Near the house where James Joyce, the author of Ulysses lived, by the castle and cathedral of San Giusto, this inn is hidden in the alleyways of the city. The food here is traditional 'poor' food such as soup, potatoes and pasta, that is served with dignity in an atmosphere full of charm. This is a step back in time that you will not regret.

    Unless you like meat and plenty of it don't go here. This is a wonderful little cafe just a couple of blocks off the Grand Canal. Our friend Paoseo who is from Trieste recommended it as a great place for typical Trieste cuisine. We were served a huge platter of meats - pork, bacon, ham, sausages accompanied by potatoes and mustard. While not light fare, it was delicious. We washed it down with Dreher beer which I think is Hungarian but goes perfectly with hearty Triestino fare.

    Caffe degli Specchi

    This is not restaurant, of course, although you can get excellent sandwiches here for exorbitant prices.
    Caffe degli Specchi is mythical places in Trieste, almost inevitable when exploring the town. More or less, its terrace is always occupied, more with the locals then with the tourists. Actually, the terrace, overlooking Piazza D'Unita, is out of service only under the strong "bora" conditions. (Bora is very strong northern wind which freezing you to the bonds).

    Caffe degli Specchi is one of my favourite places when visiting Trieste, and no metter if winter or summer season, Im always sitting outdoor (except under the bora wind). It is unique experience being here at Sunday noon, in the early spring or late fall when sun is shining over Piazza. The
    "whole" Trieste can be seen here at that specific times, walking, chatting and showing on Piazza D'Unita. Ladies in fur coats, walking the dogs, gentlemens in designed suits and bunch of beautiful kidds running all over the piazza.

    Cafe Tommaseo: "Historical" Cafe

  • My motto for my trip was "When in Italy, do as the Italians do". So when I landed in Trieste, I discovered this quaint little cafe called Cafe Tommaseo, by the bayside. The architecture was a little quaint - and is it turned out, it's one of the city's most famous - or as the brochure says - "historical" cafes. This cafe has been a "cultural centre for generations of Triestines" ever since it opened shop in 1825. The cafe bears the name of its first owner Tomasso Marcato.

    The Ravioli is simply delicious...can still feel the taste on my lips :-)

    We stopped for a light lunch right in Miramare's garden. The food was pretty good although we just had pizza and beer but the view is really great.

    The pizza margharita was quite tasty - washed down pretty well with a Tuborg. I guess there are virtually no Italian beers as they devote all their attention to making things like chianti.

    Rifugio Premuda: A refuge on the mountain

  • This refuge is located at the entrance to Val Rosandra, in one of the most unusual and evocative corners of the Carso Triestino, on the left-hand bank of the stream, at only 80 metres above sea level. The Premuda is the lowest Italian mountain refuge. It was opened in 1940, and is the base for the "Emilio Comici" National Alpinism School, as well as being and ideal base for excursions into the valley. It is only 20-30 minutes outside the city (to get there just go towards Muggia and then follow the signs to Val Rosandra), but it is immersed in a sort of natural paradise.
    The Premuda is a stone building with a large garden and a very big carpark. It is like a typical Alpine refuge. It is very busy during the Summer when its full of cavers, climbers, naturalists, and families on holiday. It doesn't have beds. It is also easy to reach by bus, the nearest stop is just a few hundred metres away in the village of Bagnoli. Obviously the food and drink available is nothing out of the ordinary. As in all refuges you eat simple, but tasty food. but there are also a few hot dishes such as pasta, soups, and gnocchi. It is the ideal place to start your excursion from, and is in a beautiful location. The refuge is shut during the month of February
