The mixed grill appetizer has some great shrimp and local fish as well as squid etc. The traditional Italian preparation is excellent. This is my favorite fresh fish place in town for sure. They serve prosecco before the meal on the house. Dining room in small but the furniture and styling are with class. Service is excellent. Speak English good enough too.

Everything we had was simple and divine. You can see inside the kitchen, where the magic happens! Just walk from the dining room or the patio to the restroom, and watch the magicians work!

Been coming here for a while and the food is quite delicious. I had the sea urchin pasta and the…read moreraw scampi/prawns as appetizer which I love. The prosciutto and the meat they serve is quite delicious. The only negative is that the service is slow but it's a common thing in Italy. Would definitely recommend this homey restaurant to friends and family.

Plenty of good fresh and authentic Istrian dishes with competitive pricing and atmosphere.read more

Rating: 88/100 pts…read more Fate brought me to Alla Voliga when I was in search of good local food, and the meal certainly did not disappoint. 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.
