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.

Well... I was proved wrong... and thank god for that!!! This place is incredible. The food is incredible. Mara is incredible. Mara is the typical Friuliana grandma. She waiters, she cooks and runs the business all by herself. The phrase that she told us is still stuck in my mind: "I just cook like I cook at home!" The Frico was delicious, Cjarsons (a type of ravioli) filled with frant (typical friulano cheese) and filled with herbs were amazing. The Gnocchi di susine were delicious too! Go here and order some of EVERYTHING. This place is really special.

** 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.
