** in Italiano sotto*…read more A classic! One of the most traditional Trieste Eateries, and a must visit when in town. Scarpon has been there forever, offering a homey feeling, no big scenes, no pretentiousness, just very good food at very good price and a friendly service. Scarpon has plenty of traditional Trieste dishes, but specializes in fish and seafood, so indulge, because this quality at these prices is very hard to find. I can't even suggest what you eat, haven't had anything that wasn't very good. If you visit from the USA you will probably pass out when you see the price of the branzino here: we are talking about a great fish offered at US hamburger prices! Scarpon is a legend in Trieste and for good reasons! *** Scarpon e' uno dei locali tradizionali di Trieste. Senza tanti fronzoli e sceneggiate gourmet, Scarpon offre ottimi piatti ad ottimi prezzi. Potrete provare diversi piatti classici Triestini ma la specializzazione qui e' il pesce: sempre buono, sempre ben curato, prezzi davvero piu' che ragionevoli. L'atmosfera e' famigliare, rilassata, ma il servizio e' sempre attento; cordialita' senza strafare, praticamente perfetto. Cosa provare? Potrei dire tutto, ma diciamo che dovrete provare i vari antipasti di mare, il pesce intero sia branzino, o orata o rombo e fanno delle ottime paste con i frutti di mare. Assolutamente da visitare se siete a Trieste e soprattutto se avete voglia di pesce buono senza lasciarci mezza paga.

OMG if only the city where I live (outside of Italian borders) had a place like this…read more Alla Frasca is a family run business for four generations. The owners are a very nice lot, talkative, funny, willing to explain their dishes and traditions to everyone who's not familiar with this hidden corner of Italy (like me). The atmosphere is very relaxed, cosy, a bit like grandmother's living room. Everything is home made here, including the bread and the fantastic lingue di suocera (a type of grissini). At alla Frasca you will be able to sample the traditional Friuli fare, but they proudly define themselves as a porcini mushroom-specialised restaurant. The porcini menu was AMAZING: grilled porcini on a skewer, porcini with polenta and cheese sauce, tagliatelle with porcini sauce. The wine selection is good too, try the local Cabernet-Franc. Cividale is a very pretty town to visit, full of history and monuments. If you chose to wander off here, make sure you visit Alla Frasca.

We ordered fish croquettes to start with and they were great. Yummy flavor and texture. Bread in the basket was super fresh and just perfectly crunchy. For main dishes I ordered the fish lasagna (omg the best lasagna I have ever eaten in my whole life ). Order it! It is life changing. Think you know what a lasagna should taste like? No you don't until you eat this. Wow. Mind blown. My bf had the house gnocchi which can had a tasty sauce and great texture. For seconds he ordered the fish of the day. Tip: get it whole, don't get a filet. The whole fish has all the flavors in it and the crunchy skin and tail and cheeks. Insanely tasty. And you get to eat a whole fish. With head and all. It tasted heavenly. Get the fish! Plus the house wine was amazing too and went perfectly with our fishy dishes. Prices are affordable and food is out of this world. The whole time we were there we were the only tourists everyone else was Italian. I would return here in a heartbeat and suggest this place to anyone who wants to try authentic Amazing Italian food in Trieste. What a find!!! Skip all the other places. Go here now!

We called ahead for a reservation, and they couldn't accommodate us until 2pm on a random Monday. Parking is easy on the street (free 13:00-15:00, then €0.10 for every 10 min after). They didn't have a written menu, but the server was able to explain the menu to us in English. - White bean soup with fermented cabbage and ham. It sounds odd to have sauerkraut in a white bean soup, but it worked really well! - Gnocchi with goulash: pillowy gnocchi with goulash - a true mix of Italy and Slovenia - Amatriciana: the pasta was a little softer than I expected, but the flavors were good The soup was the highlight for me. House wine by the carafe wasn't bad (€5 for 500 ml), and we finished with espressos. Staff were so gracious and welcoming, and it was great to eat among locals in a small town. Bonus: the bill was only €37!

We inquired at a restaurant which did not carry it on they menu and he recommended this place (nice gesture among restaurateurs!). When we arrived the restaurant was full which was a great sign. The hostess was able to seat us after a very short wait. We had their risotto con verze and sausage (Savoy Cabbage Risotto with sausage), the gnocchi and the Ljubljanska and all had a bite because we wanted to try everything. The food was simply fantastic and the prices were really fair. The service was also impeccable. I wish I lived in the area so I could visit more often.
