Salsapariglia - TRIESTE

Everything is cooked fresh to order and the homemade pasta was delicious. Even though we didn't have a booking and they were busy, the staff were welcoming and managed to accommodate us. The restaurant itself is quaint and authentic!

This was a fabulous find and highlight of our trip to Trieste. Our hosts provided a warm welcome, delicious food all made on the premises and a carefully curated wine list. While all the food was beautiful, I have to say that the pasta was really something special. For anyone visiting Trieste, I'd strongly recommend that you try to get a table.

This is the story of how we fell in love with Salsapiriglia and had dinner there twice in a row. We went there with two kids, and they immediately offered some very kid-friendly options to start with. Later, our kids not just ventured onto our plates but devoured one of our main courses like a vacuum cleaner and tasted the rest with the same craving as if they hadn't eaten in a week (even though they had just finished their food). It shows how great Salsapariglia is (those with kids know what I am talking about). It is a small, cozy place with a few tables and more than capable service. They were friendly and always looked after us but never intrusively. After we ordered, the chef Mariaeugenia came out and offered that she could make something of that as a unique local version and shared its story of origin. And how grateful we all were later on for her tip. I won't post pictures, whatever your choice; what you see is what you get. And their pasta was just unbelievable, as we learned they made their own twice a week in their laboratory at 4 AM. The restaurant is run by a couple with three kids, the youngest less than a year old. And how did I learn all this? At the elbow table, just in front of the restaurant, the staff regularly uses it for their breaks. Amazing people, food, and experience! And one more thing, remember to reserve a table.

Locale assai carino, proprietaria giovane, molto cordiale (senza essere invadente! , appassionata. Abbiamo mangiato molto bene: piatti semplici, ma con quel guizzo in più... torneremo.

Particolare ristorantino romantico, begli interni , menù interessante di carne e pesce , buona scelta di vini , da riprovare.
