** 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.

You cannot visit Trieste without visiting this restaurant as well!…read more This medium sized restaurant is located right in the center of the city (= parking is a nightmare, you better use public transportation), and specializes in fish, seafood and local cuisine. I have been to this restaurant many times and it has never disappointed: the food is AMAZING; they have very good wines and after-meals-drinks as well; and the prices are very decent. Since it is always full of people (also because it has a lot of regulars on a daily basis!), you need to make reservations well in advance. Despite being extremely busy all the times, the staff is always very professional. I look forward to go back!

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.

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.

Anyhow, one expects a very high level of culinary skills at such a place, and Pepenero Pepebianco disappoints in this respect (3.5 stars would be more fair). We have tried the degustation menu. The food was good, occasionally inventive, but always bland (it was the first time in my experience that I had to actually use the salt and pepper shakers in a Michelin-mentioned place). Few dishes were of the "safe" variety: pretty good but the ones you would expect to get from a skilled home cook. The ambiance is good, the service efficient. The place is definitely OK for a good meal or even an occasion, just do not expect any culinary delights. Reservations might be essential. No parking anywhere in sight.

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.
