Just a few steps from Piazza Unità, Joia is a modern restaurant and lounge bar that has quickly won over locals and tourists since it opened in 2014, receiving glowing recommendations for its exceptional cuisine and service, as well as its elegant ambiance. Being just 100m from the Mediterranean, it should come as no surprise that seafood dishes make up the majority of the menu, however, the Piedmontese beef steaks are also some of the finest cuts of meat you'll find in Trieste, which can make choosing what to order a bit difficult. The best solution to this quandary is to a repeat visit.
