It is on the part of the seafront which is furthest from the city center making for easy parking. It is perfect if you want to unwind in a comfortable and down-to-earth bar. Make sure you take a look at the beautiful building above the pub. Friendly and crazy atmosphere, Tino is the owner, karaoke and happines and, of course, good beer!

Went here just to sample a variety of local wines. Prices per glass range from 2.50 to 5 Euro…read more Excellent range of varietals - - from local Refosco to Barolo; each wine ordered came with a fresh serving of breaded fried fish and different fish salads, which was super. I ordered first from the board, then asked for recommendations, and the man at the bar was smooth, thoughtful, attentive, and caring, replying to my crude Italian in English (as all bar staff seem to do in Trieste). Dark but vividly decorated interior, with lots of wood; superb overall atmosphere. A really great place to try a variety of wines, at very good prices, with nice bar snacks, in a memorable atmosphere. An excellent experience.

We only speak English and they very nicely had an English language menus. Prices for local wines seemed pretty low to us. Very nice and local seafood. Lots of home made pasta selections. It was a truffle special time for the menu. Truffles are not what we really enjoy, so we ordered of the regular menu which was very good. Two price fix options. One with 4 courses for €49 and a larger one with seven courses for more. We were told this restaurant won a local cooking competition among local places.

The owner is dedicated to quality quaff, and really knows his stuff. The day I went the beer list ranged from local brew to Belgians (Chimay; Boon Lambic). I noticed Westvleteren glassware, and asked about it, and indeed he has something in the cellar to match. Didn't try the food, but you can check out the reviews on their Facebook-based website. Hard to find a better and more dedicated beer temple than this, and the personal knowledge and service beats the more standard street scene places hands down.

Only came for the coffee as I heard it was a great spot, so I can't speak on the food. Seating is plentiful. Service was similar to that of other cafes in the area; nothing special and a bit slow. But, it's an outing in a cute spot. I recommend sitting outside as the inside gets a bit hot and lacks air flow.

It's a very small bar, but one of my favorite stops in Trieste. Located in Piazza San Giovanni, it…read moreis very close to Piazza Goldoni, a main hub for buses and it's in downtown so easy to walk to from wherever you are in the city. They also have a window you can order wine at (yeah, think Little Havana in Miami, only here you order very good wine instead of empanadas) and some tables outside where you can sit, sip your wine and do a little people watching. Nice place to chill after a long walk in the city; they have very good wines, price are reasonable and they always give you a little complementary food with your glass, a couple of slices of salami or prosciutto or whatever they have. Sometimes when I am back in Trieste, I sit there, outside, enjoy 2 glasses of wine and let memories of my many years spent in my hometown occupy my mind.

We can't go back to Trieste as much as we'd like, but we do stop here every time we're there! To order you can go inside, or you can do it through a window on the busy sidewalk. You can enjoy your drink (they offer full bar) inside at the counter (there is no room for tables) or by sitting at one of the few high tables outside: they are a great spot to relax and people watching! They have a great selection of wines, and every drink is accompanied by a few small tapas. The staff is great and prices are decent. I look forward to going back!
