If you're in the area, and even if you're not, it's worth every minute to travel off the beaten path to this hidden gem of a restaurant. There are few choices on the menu, so we stayed with traditional dishes, including Amatriciana and Carbonara and a fabulous eggplant parmigiana, obviously home-made. The atmosphere is homely and the food is just the same. Everything we ate was flavorful, rich, and authentic and the price is very reasonable, especially considering the amazing food Highly recommended.

It was so good. The Napoli pizza was okay but probably wouldn't order it next time. The tiramisu was so good. Definitely very different than what I'm used to. It was so creamy and thicker but it melts in your mouth. The reason why I took off one star was because of the service. The servers were so rude. They were very short when I asked them something about the menu. Besides that, food was tasty.

Many of their pizzas are quite elaborate With all sorts of exotic ingredients. I went super simple. Gorgonzola. Mozzarella. That's it. Just enough Mozzarella to cut the Gorgonzola and make for a good melt. * * * If you have never had a gorgonzola pizza, you have never lived. Just sayin'. * * * P.S. My lovely wife got a Norwegian salmon pizza. The Norwegian salmon was stacked up high on her pizza As if she was in the World Series of Poker and she was a big winner. I have never seen so much salmon on one plate. After our meal, I made a discreet phone call to the Norwegian embassy in Rome asking them if they still had any salmon left. The woman at the embassy assured me the Norwegian salmon supply was fine. That surprises me given all the salmon that was on my wife's pizza.

However, they had apparently started having dining "outside" which consisted of a few tables-for-two on the sidewalk. My brilliant wife came of with the idea of asking if we could just take two of those tables next to each other so she dined with one daughter and I the other. We probably looked a little funny as we got up to share plates between the table but hey, we were seated in 5 minutes. Car traffic wasn't too bad so that wasn't a distraction though it was amusing seeing delivery bikes coming and going sometimes even returning constantly to the restaurant. Clearly a very popular place. I have to hand it to our waiter, he did a fantastic job serving not just the outside but his inside assignments as well. Guy got his steps in for sure and yet he smiled and was kind through the evening. Not a sign of stress at all. Love that. Food-YUMMY! Since we were on separate tables I didn't my normal "Wait let me take a picture first!" moments lol. We got the Fried Mix to start off with which. I personally ordered a pasta carbonara and the daughter I was sitting with got a margherita pizza. My wife ordered the chicken which was thinly cut breaded chicken slices. I ordered a red (Montepulciano d'Abruzzo) to go along with my meal. Don't have all the foodie pictures because of our split tables but trust me it was all fantastic.

Just an FYI, not all of the staff members speak English. In fact, our waiter could barely understand us. Be patient! Anyways, I ended up getting the margarita pizza. It was pretty big for a personal size. The pizza was thin, but not soggy. There wasn't an over abundance of cheese like in the US. The tomato sauce was sweeter than what I'm used to, but I really enjoyed it. While I hardly ever eat the crust, I couldn't stop myself from inhaling the crust on this pizza. The crust was light and fluffy, nothing too "bready" or heavy. My friends and I asked for a to go box since we all had a good amount of pizza left. Unfortunately, we didn't know that the Italians don't really do take out. I guess the owner of the place felt bad that we ended up scarfing down the rest of our pizza (because obviously we couldn't waste such goodness) because he ended up calling us to the back to give us a free pizza to take home. It was sweet of him and if I'm ever in the area again, I'd come back in a heartbeat!

Trieste is an easy five stars…read more It's a tiny place with only about 8-10 tables, but you can also order at the counter and take your food to go. We were lucky enough to grab a table for lunch. We had a margherita, pepperoni, and a burrata with prosciutto pizza. All three were outstanding. The crust, the dough, the toppings - everything tasted fresh and came together perfectly. One of the best, yet simplest meals we've had. They also offer salads, though we didn't try any. The two behind the counter were fun and friendly. They take your order, ask where you're from, and then shout out your location when your food is ready - a really fun touch. Bonus: our table had a USB charging station, which was a really nice surprise while out exploring the city. There's also a small bathroom in the back for customers. This one really hit home. Definitely worth a stop.

Plus, the space is very hot inside, but better to sit near the window or do takeaway. I wasn't very hungry, but wanted one last pizza in Italy. When I saw that this spot does mini pizzas, which means I was able to choose a variety of flavors; I was so excited! Unfortunately, they ran out of the mini pizza dough and only had the large. It really is a shame, because I didn't think the bigger version is worth €15 each. Nonetheless, I ordered the Burrata & Anchovies while the husband got Pepperoni. I really did enjoy the flavor and chewiness of the dough. The burrata also gave it such a nice creaminess to balance the pizza that worked perfectly. Sadly, I had to waste a slice because I couldn't finish the larger pizza, so still a bit upset that I couldn't order the mini. With that said, it's a delicious pizza spot.
