Rating: 88/100 pts…read more Fate brought me to Alla Voliga when I was in search of good local food, and the meal certainly did not disappoint. 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.

Great patio view of the sea! Seafood options were fresh and abundant. The server even brought out…read morethree huge fish on a platter to show the table next to us their options for the fresh catch. We ordered scallops al gratin for an appetizer; grilled squid, shrimp, and octopus with polenta; and gnocchi in beef stew. The gnocchi was disappointing (too soft/ mushy) but all of the seafood was delicious. Anyway, we were here mostly for the view & atmosphere (only couples were dining at the tables around us) and this restaurant definitely has that down!

With a patient and knowledgeable waitstaff, we paired regional wines with each course.

The location is hidden just off the square, creating a quiet, cozy ambiance. Pepata di Corte is one of Udine's delicious treasures!

This is a busy spot in Cortina and their menu looks like it has a nice array of offerings. To be safe, make a reservation ahead of time, as plenty of people were turned away once the dinner rush hit. Some had called in 30 minutes before arriving and were seated.

We had a reservation so were seated promptly, but inside where it is about the temperature of an oven. The only way this was made semi-tolerable, was by immediately visiting their restroom where it is actually the temperature of the sun (or hell, your choice), and without any toilet paper or soap. By the time you return to the main dining room, it feels practically cool by comparison! The staff are clearly overtaxed, but they were friendly and trying their best to attend to everyone. I had the carbonara, which was fine. It's got an extensive menu and generous portions.
