One of our favourite places to dine in Trieste is not the easiest to find, but the experience is more than worth the effort. Set in a residential neighbourhood high in the hills above the city, taxi is the best option to get here, especially since the wine list is first-rate and meals invariably end with a round (or more) of homemade grappa. The owner and head chef Daniele Valmarin is as passionate about being the most charming and charismatic of hosts as he is about preparing the freshest, most delectable seafood in town, and the whole staff are genuinely welcoming and friendly. Highly recommended!
