“ The service is super nice, the owner introduced all the dishes with passion and patience. The food are terrific! ”
“ It is a small place so a reservation is advised but once you are there, you can treat yourself for a very nice pasta with seafood. Personel was very helpful - we made a mistake with our reservation but they quickly fixed it for us. ”
“ Really cool little seafood restaurant in Trieste. Has a cozy vibe with lots of candles! 5 ⭐ because we had 2 vegans in the group and they went out of their way to make sure there was something made for us, even though there was nothing on the menu. ”
“ Unfortunately, we completely devoured the nacho fish before I realized that that dish was one of the best things I’ve ever eaten. The food here is so good and made with so much intention. Would more than recommend coming here. The staff is also so friendly. ”
“ Amazing food, super kind service staff and cook! Very cool ambiente. We will be back! ”
“ Very welcoming reception, superb food and cheap wine. We were so grateful for the welcome prosecco~ the mixed seafood pasta was insanely good, with the shrimpy/cioppino like sauce it was just heavenly. The spaghetti vongole is always a fan favorite but is much simpler than the mixed seafood pasta. We got the cod appetizer that was like minced cod with really good toasted bread. Bulk wine at 5 euros for the half liter was drinkable. Cash only. ”
“ Authentic and deliciously prepared local cuisine served in moderized and tasteful vaulted rooms with countryside charm ( note the antique mirrors). A soothing jazz playlist sets the stage for a great dining experience. Artichokes served in several dishes are great choices. ”
“ We stumbled upon this lovely family-owned restaurant that proved to be a hidden gem. Even though we arrived without a reservation and before they were officially open, the owner warmly welcomed us and let us settle in outside. While we waited, we were given complimentary aperitivos and delicious appetizers. The service throughout the evening was welcoming and genuine. You could truly feel the care and passion that goes into this family establishment. Food was absolutely delicious and wonderfully original - mixed fried seafood, a perfectly prepared seafood pasta, and an impressive mixed platter. While it might be a bit off the beaten path, it's worth the walk! ”
