I used Yelp to find a nice local restaurant near us and this was highly recommended. It was an easy…read more10 min walk from our B&B. It is on a "no car" street...nice, with lots of outdoor tables. We got there around 6:45 and the food wasn't served until 7 pm but all the tables were filled?!? It appears to be customary at the end of the day to meet and have a drink or two before heading out. People literally sit at the table for 1 hour with one drink, talking; no pressure from servers bec they don't live off tips! So we decided "while In Trieste..join them" we ordered drinks, a plate of local meats for an app and people watch...very European. Later we ordered "prawns and tagliatelle ", I had "chic with roasted olives/tomatoes ", dessert-apple strudel.

For dinner we ordered their zuppe de pesce (fish soup) as our first course and a pizza to share as…read moreour dinner. The zuppe de peace was really more like a seafood cioppino, a meal. In my jar there were calamari, mussels, baby clams, octopus, and scampis. If I was home I would have taken the sauce for pasta. For pizza we ordered the prosciutto e funghi. The pizza was one of the best Neapolitan style pizza I've ever had. The crust was the right amount of cooked without being burnt and there's just enough toppings on the pizza without the crust being soggy. The servers were friendly and attentive and our meal was paced properly. They did charge a one euro cover per person, which we thought was very reasonable. Considering earlier for lunch we went to a restaurant that charged 2 euros per person.

One with 4 courses for €49 and a larger one with seven courses for more. We were told this restaurant won a local cooking competition among local places.

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!

We read an article in Travel and Leisure from August 2011 that we saved. Admittedly, we visited 2…read moreyears after publication. The article describes the restaurant in glowing terms as "the best meal I have in Trieste." The author raved about the fritto misto. We ate here recently and were disappointed. First of all, our meal cost $190 for two of us. We had 2 courses. First was amberjack tuna that my wife enjoyed. I had octopus that was just ok, pretty chewy, although the one really interesting part was the tomato ice cream accompaniment. We both had fritto misto and both felt it was mediocre. Wines were far more enjoyable than the food and apparently drove up the price. If cost is no object, you will find the restaurant charming and the service attentive. Silence in this place is akin to a church service. There are only 6 tables. It is a 5 minute walk from the piazza.

Romanian food in Trieste? Who knew!

(Well, maybe not; I hear Slovenian Customs is worse.) Thankfully, Transilvania boasts a full bar. And, it's a nice little place, well-lighted with a comfortable layout and good food. While there, I had a plate of 3 sarmale (stuffed cabbage), and a stuffed red pepper, both of which were authentically good Romanian food. I declined the sour cream topping, but that shows you this place knows what's its doing. There was plenty of mamaliga and gulyas on hand, and carnati are also occasionally offered. Bread and a Chino rounded out my meal, and the barkeep comped me a piece of great cheesecake for desert. I wonder if they also offer lichiu??? All this came to E14.
