Excellent Neapolitan pizza of a higher level than many pizzerias in Trieste, polite and kind staff, top quality products.
Both for lunch and dinner, very good pizza with crust and special chips. In the evening it is quite full.
A guarantee in everything. Pizza always great. We also tried the new pizza BUFALINA CRUNCH, crispy as hell. Impeccable and energetic service
One of the best pizzas I've ever eaten outside of Naples! Right in front of the Revoltella Museum, they offer sweets and lollipops at the end of a meal or limoncello meloncino or pistachio liqueur. Tiramisu in the Moka is a pleasure!!

Abbiamo mangiato delle pizze e si sentiva che gli ingredienti erano freschissimi e di qualità! Consigliatissimo
We ate some pizzas and you could feel that the ingredients were fresh and of high quality! Highly recommended
Very tempting menu confirmed by delicious dishes. Very fast and very attentive service, despite the really late hour and the group well fed and heterogeneous. Really delicious and excellent dishes
What is the
Pier
Local on the pier, excellent dishes to be enjoyed while enjoying the tranquility of the view of the sea
Telephone: (+39) 040 322 9296
Menu with fish dishes, the proposal is wide, the choice of wines is also excellent. We opted for appetizers and baked sea bass, all super delicious
It's on the pier so you can enjoy dinner with table by the sea. Perfect welcome, nice, friendly and professional room staff. The menu is mainly fish-based
the restaurant is located at the port of Trieste, with an aperitif area and one for dinner. We stopped just for a quick break. Welcoming staff and drinks, a prosecco and a spritz, average.
What is the
Buffet da Pepi
Trieste buffet, traditional atmosphere and good food. Friendly and fast service. A stone's throw from Trieste's main square
Telephone: (+39) 040 366858
Typical restaurant of local cuisine specialized in boiled meats and sandwiches that could also be taken away
Characteristic historic place, famous for its mixed boiled pork served with mustard and horseradish, all excellent including side dishes.
One of the most traditional buffets in Trieste, it is definitely a must. The choice from the menu is limited, but "La caldaia", a mixture of boiled pork parts with horseradish and mustard, is certainly a dish to try with a suitable side dish of sauerkraut and potatoes

What is the
Castello di Miramare
In Trieste there is not only the Castle of San Giusto. About 10 kilometers from the city center is the Castle of Miramare. An exceptional location, on the promontory of Grignano, built between 1856 and 1860 to make it the princely residence of Duke Maximilian of Habsburg and his wife Charlotte of Belgium. The year before the start of the works, Maximilian of Habsburg had purchased this vast area, fascinated by its impervious nature and its position overlooking the sea. In fact, in addition to the Castle, now used as a historical museum, the nobleman took care to transform the more than 20 hectares of land around the palace into a park. A park that is still an extraordinary testimony of man's ability to transform, demonstrating, if ever there was still a need, that the distance between "nature" and "culture" is much smaller than we are usually led to think. It's not over, because in the 90s of the last century even the stretch of water around the area was transformed into a marine reserve. A protected marine area where you can practice various underwater activities from diving to snorkeling.
A journey through history among works of art.
Beautiful castle that exudes sophistication, obviously the location where it is located increases its charm.
Once you have passed the "labyrinth" of the magnificent gardens, you reach the castle.
The place is fairytale and mixes ancient and modern.
I am a lover of castles when I can, but this one in Miramare is complete with everything, especially its big, big, but great park and a spectacle

What is the
Piazza Unità d’Italia e Molo Audace
IThe value of this walk also lies in the evolution of toponymy. For example, Piazza Unità d'Italia, where the Town Hall, the Prefecture and the Regional Council of Friuli Venezia Giulia are located, has been called this only since 1955, after the end of the historical experience of the Free Territory of Trieste. Before, it was called St. Peter's Square, Piazza Grande and, finally, after 1918, only Piazza Unità. That same year, on November 3, 1918, the "Audace", a destroyer of the Italian Navy, docked on the San Carlo pier. Hence, four years later, the decision was made to change the name of the pier as well, with the simultaneous affixing of a bronze compass rose in memory of the event. Beyond the individual episodes and all the related anecdotes, this pleasant walk is really the first thing that almost all tourists do when they set foot in the city for the first time. Inside, in fact, there is everything: the history, as we said, but also the art and architecture of this bridge city between the Mediterranean and continental Europe.
The city center can be completely visited on foot, from the square you can easily reach the castle and the basilica of San Giusto.
A beautiful square in the center of Trieste. It's really huge, surrounded by historic buildings, but its charm is the location, because one part overlooks the sea.
The most important square in Trieste, enclosed between the Prefecture building, the Town Hall, the Lloyd's building and the sea.
What a wonderful place. Clean, tidy and with beautiful architecture. At dusk it is truly a spectacle.

What is the
Cattedrale di San Giusto
In addition to the Castle, on the top of the hill overlooking the city there is also the Cathedral, the result of the union of two pre-existing churches dedicated to Santa Maria and the martyr San Giusto (hence the name). The basilica of San Giusto is a particular church that combines the simplicity of the external façade, surmounted by an imposing Gothic rose window, with the beautiful decorations of the floor and the two side apses. Mosaics depicting two icons of Byzantine sacred art: the Madonna, Mother of God (Teotokos) and the Blessing Christ (Pantocrator). The climb to the top is also very suggestive. Ditto the panorama, with the spectacular view from above of the city, the sea and the port.
Beautiful castle complex with probably the best view of Trieste. We were there shortly after opening and felt like we had the area to ourselves. Sensational view, which is worth paying the entrance fee of 5 € per person.
An important place of history for Italy. Kingdom of Italy, Austria and Slovenia.
Beautiful place to watch the sunset. The castle and the surrounding area are a great stop for sightseeing. Take the elevator from the parking lot (to the right of the Roman amphitheater) to avoid going up the hill.
The site rises above the Roman theatre and adjacent to an archaeological area with some ancient decorative elements. You can enjoy a view of the Gulf of Trieste

What is the
Faro della Vittoria
A lighthouse, the most powerful in the Adriatic, which is also a monument to the fallen of the First World War. The inscription at the base of the structure "Shine and remember the fallen on the sea" immediately tells us what were the intentions of the Trieste architect Arduino Berlam who designed the work in the aftermath of the defeat of Caporetto and the battle of the Piave. The inscription is not the only commemorative trace of the victory over the Austro-Hungarian Empire. There is the sculpture of the Unknown Sailor, the work of Giovanni Mayer, made by the master stonemason Regolo Salandini, and the anchor of the "Audace", the destroyer of the Italian Navy docked on the pier of Trieste in 1918. Construction of the Victory Lighthouse began in January 1923 and was completed in May 1924. The inauguration of the structure, more than 60 meters high, was personally attended by King Vittorio Emanuele III. After seven years of closure, from 1979 to 1986, the lighthouse can be visited again thanks to an agreement between the Ministry of Defense and the Province of Trieste. Last curiosity: on the dome stands the copper statue of the Winged Victory, another work by the Trieste sculptor Giovanni Mayer, made by the copper and iron craftsman Giacomo Sebroth.
A climb to the lighthouse is worth a visit just for the magnificent view of the Gulf of Trieste. Friendly and prepared reception staff. It can be climbed either by spiral staircase or by elevator. Free admission
The lighthouse, 68 meters high, built on the Poggio di Gretta, is truly impressive
It is a memorial tower to the Sailors who fell in the Great War
A splendid monument/lighthouse built in the mid-twenties and commemorating, with the symbol of Winged Victory, the fallen of the First Great War. The monument also serves as a lighthouse that illuminates the bay of Trieste with its almost 70 meters.

What is the
La sinagoga
The Synagogue is the most tangible sign of the centrality of the Jewish community in the history of the city. Just to cite a figure, in 1938 Trieste had over 6000 residents of Jewish origin. Therefore, five years later, in 1943, when the German occupation began, the city paid a high toll both in terms of broken lives ((the Risiera di San Saba was transformed into the only one of the four concentration camps built by the Nazis in Italy equipped with a crematorium) and for the stolen riches and works of art. Many of them were kept in the Synagogue promptly occupied by the Reich military under the command of the Austrian Friedrich Rainer. Therefore, the reopening of the building for worship at the end of the Second World War was a very important event from a symbolic point of view. That said, the Synagogue of Trieste is also worth it from an aesthetic point of view. Everything, from the rose window (see photo) to the floors, decorations and chandeliers testifies to the grandeur of a community that is still important, even if decimated compared to the last century.
An architectural marvel of Trieste and a must for those who come to visit the city as a tourist; One of the symbolic places of multiculturalism
You can only enter by appointment with a free guide on a few pre-established days.
The creation of the Berlam architects (father and son) is beautiful. Warm, meditative and austere environment.
This splendid Synagogue was inaugurated in 1912 and is considered one of the most impressive Jewish places of worship in Europe

What is the
Grotta gigante
The Grotta Gigante is what the Anglo-Saxons call a "must" in advertising language, i.e. an unmissable event, something absolutely to do. And in fact, there is hardly a list of things to do and see in Trieste that does not list this cave dating back to the Neolithic. A cave that also made a fundamental contribution to the birth of modern speleology, since the first explorations supported by scientific criteria were carried out in this ravine starting in 1840 of the last century. The tourist development, on the other hand, dates back to the early 1900s and follows the construction of the entrance staircase (500 steps) and the electrification of the "Great Cavern", the main hall of the cave located 120 meters below the surface, about 170 meters long and about 80 meters wide. Obviously, such an important site from a naturalistic point of view could only have a digital one with all the necessary information for the visit (www.grottagigante.it). For our part, the only recommendation is to wear clothing suitable for the excursion. Not only shoes, but also a sweatshirt (or similar garment) taking into account the depth and the different temperature. Worth seeing!
Just enter it for a few meters and you immediately realize the natural wonder that appears in front of you
The guided tour lasts just over an hour. You need to be careful as there are quite a few steps to take. It is necessary to book the visit in advance, there is free parking outside
What can I say, it's really worth it. The cost of the ticket is worth the experience, it is something that must be seen in person.
The cave with the largest natural room in the world, a truly exciting experience. 500 steps downhill and 500 steps up
