I couldn't decide for a very long time if I want to give this place a 4 or 5 star rating, and it…read morewould have been more accurate to rate it 9/10. However, it wasn't exceptional. The staff was great and the menu comes with pictures and several languages including English, which was very nice considering it's a Chinese restaurant in Italy. The servers were quick and the dishes I ordered didn't take long to arrive. The atmosphere in the restaurant is friendly and clean. I ordered jasmine tea, Cantonese rice and sweet and sour chicken(because I myself am a chicken and didn't wanna try anything too exciting). The waiter brought complimentary chips right away, and within 10 minutes I had all of my food. The rice smelled amazing but was a little dry, which wasn't a big deal since I had the sweet and sour chicken. However, the chicken surprised me a bit because there was no breading and the sauce was more sour than sweet; it came with some fresh veggies on top which were fantastic. Overall, I am just used to the American Chinese food and this was a different but definitely good experience! I would definitely come back here and try something else because the menu is full of options, including very tasty looking vegetarian ones.

I would describe this restaurant as "workman Chinese" food. The menu comes in English and Italian…read moreand they have over a hundred options grouped in to categories such as antipasti, rice, seafood, pork, tofu and so on. I have the Cantonese rice, sweet and sour chicken, pork dumplings and pork with vegetables. The rice was light and fluffy and had a mixture of egg, pork and vegetables, exactly as it should have. The sweet and sour chicken was a breaded fried chicken cutlet covered in a very tangy sweet and sour sauce with lots of vegetables mixed in. The pork dumplings were pork with onions and garlic wrapped in a wonton wrapping and fried on a flat top grill, very similar to gyoza. The pork with vegetables was meaty pork bites with vegetables in a brown sauce that was tasty, but I can't identify. The sauces seemed like they came from jar. There was nothing wrong with them, but they seemed a bit flat. The decor is neat and tidy and pretty standard for a Chinese restaurant. Most of the tables were 4-tops, but there are a few smaller tables and I do not doubt you could ask for tables to be combined for a bigger party. The service was excellent. We were sat immediately and the server came quickly to take our order and helped us decide. The dishes began coming out of the kitchen quickly and in the correct order. If I were in California I would have likely given this place a 3/5, it is a fine choice. But in Italy when I'm tired of Italian food and themes and want a change of pace, it is definitely a 4/5. This is one of the few places in Trieste I have seen that will accept Discover card.

My husband and I had dinner at Al Bagatto when we were in Trieste for a day on a road trip from…read moreZagreb to Ljubljana earlier this summer. It was one of the best meals of our trip! 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!

The espresso was fine and the cappuccino piccolo tasted like an espresso with a layer of milk foam on the top - nice.

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.

The pizzas are very good (I'm super demanding about pizza, and these are close to an 8 out of a possible 10). The one they brought me by mistake was a sumptuous morass of harmonious ingredients; I got a few bites out of it and I kind of wished I'd kept that one! Then they swapped it for what I ordered, which was delicious by not quite as decadently rich (see pictures). The house red was a touch sweet and light. The waitperson was easygoing and kind. Eating at the street tables has the advantage of hearing music and the murmurs of strollers from Viale XX Settembre, though the surrounding buildings are drab and the lighting a bit hoary yellowish outside. Interior looked really nice for visits on colder days. Overall: quality product, satisfying experience.
