We started with carpaccio de branzin and tris de tartara, both raw fish dishes. Both were decent. Smoked salmon was our least favorite. We followed with a pasta dish, tagliatelle fungi and a steak, reasonably priced at 14 euro. Also we had several wines. Favorite was the Vitovska Bajta white. Good food at a fair price. Brightly lit, not the most romantic spot, but helpful service from a waitress who spoke way better English than our Italian, making for a delightful evening.

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.

THE WONDERFUL: that pig plate full of pig was a super treat, a real delicacy; there were half a…read moredozen different cuts on that fun little plate, and each were super tasty, with the 'krauti' and mustard adding a nice accent. The most meltingly delicious, and super tender, was the tongue. Unforgettable. THE DUBIOUS: the place looks and feels a bit more like a cross between an historical landmark and a tourist trap, than a vibrant restaurant; had a tour group come by and stand right by my table as the tour guide gave her spiel, then the group moved on; the mixed sampler plate is listed as costing 9 Euro - - it came with a basket of bread which I didn't touch, so maybe the spoonful of kraut and/or the mustard cost extra, but the bill came to 13,50e - - and basically, the plate was more like a bar snack than a meal, albeit a world class bar snack. I'm glad I had it, but the place kind of feels like a sucker joint.

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.

I had an appetizer of thinly sliced octopus, which was good (see the pic), and then an entrée, which was less good. They called it baccalà all'istriana (Istrian style baccalà), but what they prepared was more like Dalmatian style, more soupy than creamy. In Istria they mostly eat the Venetian (mantecata) baccalà, which was what I was expecting. The soup was fine, but the fish was a little chewy. The polenta it came with was fine. The Friulano wine I had with it was very good.
