Trieste's Faro della Vittoria (or Victory Lighthouse), is one of the tallest lighthouses in the world, making the nearby Trattoria al Faro relatively easy to find no matter if you're arriving by car, bus or cruise liner. The restaurant's cool leafy covered terrace, and the views it offers of the city and sea, is hard to beat, though the food itself is also top-notch. Unsurprisingly the menu is dedicated to seafood, namely, that which has been freshly pulled from the waters below, and if one dish in particular is worth mentioning it's the fish jota, a thick stew that perfectly combines Italian and Slavic tastes.
