1. Da Pepi
$ | |A Triestino institution, this is the oldest and most esteemed of the many "buffet" restaurants serving pork and sausages around town, with a wood-paneled interior and seating outside. It specializes in bollito di maiale, a dish of boiled pork and pork sausages accompanied by delicately flavored sauerkraut, mustard, and grated horseradish. Unlike other Italian restaurants, buffets don't close between lunch and dinner, and tap beer is the drink of choice. For what seems to be a "fast food" restaurant, the service is surprisingly friendly and helpful.
Via Cassa di Risparmio 3, Trieste, Friuli Venezia Giulia, 34121, Italy040-366858Known For
- Porky platter La Caldaia Da Pepi
- Panino porzina (pork shoulder with mustard and kren [horseradish])
- Good for a snack on the hoof

2. Suban
$$ | |An easy trip just outside town, this landmark trattoria—serving Triestino food with Slovene, Hungarian, and Austrian accents—has been in business since 1865. Sit by the dining room fire or relax on a huge terrace with a pergola, watching the sun set as you tuck into rich soups and roasts spiced with rosemary, thyme, and sweet paprika. Portions tend to be small, so if you're hungry, order both a first and second course, as well as an antipasto.

- Smallish portions
- Jota carsolina (a rich soup of cabbage, potatoes, and beans)

3. Al Bagatto
$$$ | |At this warm and sophisticated seafood place, going strong since 1966 near Piazza Unità d'Italia, you'll find exquisite dishes that honor the traditions of the Mancussi family. Although now run by the Leonardi family, Roberto Mancussi's culinary ethos remains: integrating nouvelle ingredients without overshadowing the freshness of whatever local fish he bought in the market that morning. Al Bagatto is renowned for its excellent wine cellar and a selection of distilled spirits from around the world.

4. Buffet da Siora Rosa
$$ | |Serving delicious and generous portions of traditional Triestino buffet fare, such as boiled pork and sausages with savory sauerkraut, Siora Rosa is a bit more comfortable than many buffets. In addition to ample seating in the simple dining room, there are tables outside for when the weather is good. The restaurant is frequented mainly by Triestini, including students and faculty from the nearby university. You may be the only tourist in the place, but the helpful staff generally speak English. This buffet closes for a brief time between lunch and dinner.
Piazza Hortis 3, Trieste, Friuli Venezia Giulia, 34123, Italy040-301460Known For
- Well-loved Trieste institution (opened 1921)

5. Mare alla Voliga
$$ | |Hidden halfway up the hill to the Castello di San Giusto, in what the Triestini call Zità Vecia (Old City), this informal little restaurant specializes in simply prepared seafood. Amid whitewashed wooden walls and nautical ephemera, you can sample the freshest catches—bluefish, sardines, mackerel, mussels, and squid—accompanied by salad, potatoes, polenta, and house wine. The consistently tasty dishes, especially the fish soup and the sardoni in savor (large sardines with raisins, pine nuts, and caramelized onions), show what a talented chef can do on a limited budget.
Via della Fornace 1, Trieste, Friuli Venezia Giulia, 34131, Italy040-309606Known For
- Tasty fish and seafood
- Locals packed in like sarde
- Beach-hut decor and atmosphere
