Caffe Tommaseo

Amazing food. Amazing atmosphere. Amazing service. Food - seafood crudités and cicchetti were very tasty and a good choice to share within a group. Grilled octopus was delicious. Tuna tataki was fabulous and almost melting in mouth (one of the best seafood meals I have ever had). Tiramisu was a great experience. Besides the fact that you can clearly taste the coffee, and hence this dessert being tasty, one of the waiters made it in front of us which delighted our eyes too. Atmosphere - you can feel the history in this place, especially that it is the first café in Trieste and used to be a meeting place for intellectuals. Beautiful historical interior. Service - very professional with big extra (e.g. as mentioned above). The croatian waiter made the whole experience even nicer, he had good suggestions for the food and wine and we had a nice chat (e.g. about the Trieste and the café) thanks to him being well-read. Edit: Visited again - great again!!! Edit 2: Visit again. This time we had San Pietro fish which was one of the best fish meals I have ever had. While all of the waiters were doing great, I want to point out that Dino was excellent - the amount of discussion was on spot (talkative but not too much to be disturbing) and his presentation of tiramisu was amazing.

Best coffee of my life. The Cappuccino Freddo Shakerato was light, creamy, sweet, and cold. I loved the mousse. It was almost a dessert but I loved it.

We came for tiramisu but got inspired to taste octopus salad and seafood risotto too. Don’t have to say one was better than the other. Excellent food, great location and very kind staff. Tiramisu of course exceeded our expectations, so we left very happy. :) Would recommend highly!!

We had the privilege of dining at this most famous restaurant located in Trieste late last year whilst on vacation from Australia. The location, building and interior took you back in time however with a modern outlook as the service and food were exceptional and delicious. The waitresses and waiters were more than happy to give you a history of the restaurant and the menu, wines and food that are predominantly and proudly sourced locally. We had a superb time and we recommend it to anyone visiting this beautiful port city of Trieste in North East Italy.

We decided to celebrate our anniversary here last week. They welcomed us with a drink and a warm greeting. I had the full course menu. We were speechless from the appetizer to the dessert, the food was excellent. The only downside was the raw tuna on the pasta, which had a slightly odd taste. The place is very elegant, although there was a fly flying around while we were having dinner. The dessert? Absolutely the best! I’ll definitely come back.

I just had an incredible experience with the best scallop I've ever tasted! The staff were so kind and attentive, making my time there truly special. I felt so well cared for, and I can't thank you enough for everything. It was a lovely experience.

A top-notch Italian restaurant with fresh ingredients and a cozy atmosphere. The service is excellent, especially Dino, who knows the menu inside out and shared fascinating stories that made the experience even better. The tiramisu was the best I’ve ever had! Highly recommended—we’ll definitely be back!

We had the absolute pleasure of dining at this incredible restaurant during our honeymoon visiting Trieste for the very first time from Ireland and it quickly became one of the standout experiences of our trip. From the moment we arrived, we were warmly welcomed by maître Loris, whose passion, knowledge, and exceptional recommendations made our evening unforgettable. Loris’s guidance through the menu and wine list was beyond impressive , each dish and pairing elevated our experience to something truly special. We were served by the fantastic Dino- Jo, who were equally attentive, friendly, and professional throughout. The service was flawless warm, genuine, and perfectly paced. The food? Simply the best we’ve had in years. So much so, we came back again during our short stay something we very rarely do on holiday. Every plate was bursting with flavour, beautifully presented, and clearly made with care and expertise. This is more than just a restaurant it’s an experience, made memorable by people who clearly love what they do. Thank you Loris, Dino Jo for making our honeymoon in Trieste even more magical. We’ll be talking about this place for years to come and recommending it to everyone! You must visit when in Trieste. Loris you made our honeymoon dinner so special thank you so much, we can’t wait to plan our next trip in Trieste.
