Strategic location, fast service, nice dishes and well presented.
Bel posto
Lunch at a fixed price of 13 or 15 euros with dishes not trivial and very well cooked. Modern and very nice environment on two floors. Even outdoor tables. Friendly staff. It is 5 minutes from Piazza Unita' d'Italia.
When I have lunch in Trieste I can't think to an other place.
My son went twice with his group of friends (eight third-media boys) to eat here. The first time they treated them well and enjoyed the food so much that they ordered four times. Since in total, with drinks, they spent a figure greater than 100 euros, they received a coupon from 20 eur to be used on another occasion for drinks. They returned the week after lunch. Instead of realizing that they had found a group that would become a fixed customer, the staff made them wait an hour and a half between the first and the second order, perhaps fearing that they could again order more than four times (you know that at that age they eat as wolves). Despite the place being half empty, there was nothing worth the children's solicitors, who even saw people coming after them served before. They finally managed to place only two orders and had to leave hungry. It is clear that making a 'all you can eat' and then rivaling on the slowness of the service to serve less is, to say little, little serious and makes lose customers. To do so with children who are unable to assert their rights is even worse. I only give two stars because the first time they were good. A shame (and zero stars) for how they were treated the second time.
