Rating: 78/100 pts…read more On arriving in Trieste, my first inclination was to get a cup of some of their famous Illy coffee which, though widely popular throughout Europe, actually originated in this city. I was informed by a local that Caffe Tommaseo was a good choice. And indeed, it was. Built in 1830, Caffe Tommaseo is officially the oldest extant cafe in Trieste. Upon entering, it took awhile to regain my bearings and focus on what I wanted to eat: the opulent interior is filled with carved wall adornments and regal Habsburgian-furniture that exudes an Austrian-influenced Italian atmosphere. I ordered an espresso and prosciutto sandwich, and a caprese cake for dessert. The espresso came with a side of fresh whipped cream that was divinely silky. The sandwich was satisfying, though far from the best I've had in Italy--overall, the food is just average (though still great by American standards), and prices fine, if a bit overpriced. However, with its convenient location near the port, stunning interior, and historical value, I still consider Caffe Tommaseo a great stop for sipping on some coffee and taking a moment to feel like a noble.

Stop in for a bite to rest your feet and people-watch. Two floors, a big screen TV, nice lounging areas for small groups, and a popular outdoor seating area. The indoor seating was clean, attractive and recently upholstered. Don't think of sitting outdoors unless you're a smoker too. Our server was super hospitable and found us something to eat even though we had arrived prior to dinner time (7:30 pm). Apparently only drinking occurs in the late afternoon in Trieste, because we couldn't find any downtown restaurants serving dinner at the time most Americans want to eat their evening meal.
