We ordered scallops al gratin for an appetizer; grilled squid, shrimp, and octopus with polenta; and gnocchi in beef stew. The gnocchi was disappointing (too soft/ mushy) but all of the seafood was delicious. Anyway, we were here mostly for the view & atmosphere (only couples were dining at the tables around us) and this restaurant definitely has that down!

I walked in just as they were opening for lunch, and being the only customer in what looked more like the deck of a ship than a restaurant, I actually wasn't sure if I was in the right spot until a few minutes of waiting when the owner popped out of the kitchen and led me to a table. "We have the best fish soup in Trieste, and the second best in Italy," he tells me proudly. I peruse the Italian-only menu and understand almost none of it. While not confident in his own English skills, the owner patiently gave me a few other non-soup recommendations. I ended up settling on the "little of this, little of that" seafood combo. Out came a fantastic platter of sardine, barley-mixed octopus, olive-mixed squid, oysters, and about 5 other things that he didn't know the English for and that I couldn't identify. Everything tasted like it had been freshly caught that morning. It also came with bread, and a huge slice of polenta, which to this day is the best polenta I've ever had. Prices were very reasonable, and I'd definitely go back next time I find myself in Trieste...even if it's just to try that seafood soup that hindsight tells me I probably should have ordered.

We had a wonderful dinner here - I had the Mussels Marinara and the mussels were delicious. My wife had the Orata which was done perfectly and deboned. We also had grilled vegetables and potatoes which were very good. We ate inside - if the weather is cool, call ahead to book a table inside. The service was perfect as they tailored the meal to our needs perfectly. Overall a great dining experience in a quiet, intimate setting with great seafood.
