But sometimes you can really find something interesting like we did at Calò. This restaurant makes typical Sicilian food and also pizza. We were there to try the spaghetti with frutti di mare elegant and fresh. Then followed the pesce spada alla Mazarese : Something really spectacular! Swordfish covered by a thin layer of bread and baked in terracotta pots in the pizza oven. When you open the bread layer out shines the flavours of Sicily sooo good! The dish was paired with an excellent white wine from Donnafugata Anthilia that was a good match to the fish. To complete this, cannoli and babà with rum , two typical Sicilian desserts. Fresh and good taste. All was served by a nice waitress who ensured that we did not miss anything during this really excellent lunch. Go there and ask for the swordfish alla Mazarese you will like it!

The service was okay but nothing fancy, and the overall experience was: it was okay, but...

Good pizza for a fair price. Fast service. Open throughout all afternoon (unlike some other restaurants in Trieste) is an advantage. read more Good pizza for a fair price. Fast service. Open throughout all afternoon (unlike some other restaurants in Trieste) is an advantage.
