    Apart from providing an intersting and inventive tasting menu, and a great choice wines, with interaction with staff was excellent.

    Unfortunately the service we received let the whole experience at Al Petes down. The tardy service from the waiting staff which bordered rude at times from one individual was not what we wished to receive on an evening out with friends. Whilst we enjoyed ourselves, none of the 4 people at the table would return to that restaurant.

    Quiet and elegant space for our party of 4 to dine in. Promptly seated when we arrived with our reservation. The pasta and clams dish that I ordered to start needed more flavour but my husband’s gnocchi dish was very flavourful. The grilled octopus dish was very well done, however the turbot fish dish that was served that evening was prepared as a “fish cake ring” that surprised our table and wasn’t quite explained that well. The servers seemed to be quite curt and abrupt with us and we it made us feel slightly like we were inconveniencing them. Overall felt the food was inconsistent for each dish (either great or not really) and experience was average.

    Exquisite (yet affordable) dishes and a fine dining atmosphere befitting a Michelin-listed restaurant.

    I’ve been there before and it was excellent. This time I decided to try the tasting menu. It was incredible and well worth it. Every course was different and absolutely delicious. They have an extensive wine list as well. I’ve already made another reservation.

    The food - from appetizers to dessert. - was very good. There were 6 of us and we all ordered something different. The wait staff were all top notch. Our waiter animated our desserts and coffee and was just excellent. The sommeleir provided great advice for dinner and dessert.

    Such a nice place. The food was good but i felt like discussing a wine choice was a little too much trouble. No matter in the end the wine was excelent.

    Loved everything. The service was amazing and the marrow dish was one of the most spectacularly creative and delicious dishes I’ve tasted. Will absolutely be back for more when next visiting beautiful Trieste.

    We were a group of six for dinner and the food was excellent. The staff were really friendly and knowledgeable about wine choices with a great explanation of some local white wines and their origin. Service got a little slower to the end of the meal as the restaurant filled up but we were enjoying ourselves too much to mind. Highly recommended.

    The tasting menu was very very good. We especially enjoyed why pairing with the menu. Also, the whole ambience with only a few tables made the restaurant, cozy and enjoyable.

    May have been an off night, we ordered the tasting menu and the food was very mediocre. Place was not crowded and service was slow. Disappointing.

    sorry you didn't like it, in truth we had 60 customers in the other room that you didn't see

    Hidden away just off a walking path, this is a hidden gem of a restaurant. Their six course tasting menu was excellent and the sommelier suggested very good and interesting regional wine.

    Nice place. Young lady gave excellent service and the sommelier was very good. Menu was imaginative. First courses of guinea fowl and veal were superb. A shared carrot dumpling was interesting. My main of goulash was very good (a little fatty), but my wife's spaghetti with clams was inedible: fishy and too much salt. Should try again, but with care. Bottle of local bubbly and 2 glasses of still wine and dinner = @ E155.

    The food is good but very particular in its taste. So not recommended if you don’t like strong contrast. Otherwise good!

    Almost perfect. Waiters did not offer finish to the meal/offer dessert, coffee or digestive. Too much time lapsed .. we got up to pay the bill.

    Buonasera, Trovo esagerata la sua affermazione. Serviamo in media 60 persone a servizio e lo facciamo con attenzione e tempi che reputiamo giusti. Credo che se secondo lei non siamo stati attenti sul finale, bastava richiedere la nostra attenzione piuttosto che non prendere il dolce e poi andare a penalizzare una recensione per questo aspetto. Cordialmente

    We had such an incredible experience at Al Pete. We enjoyed the 10-course tasting menu and we were so impressed by the quality of the food, service, and wine list. We would definitely recommend this place and look forward to coming back on our next trip to Trieste.

    Place and service was super nice. We really like the food, the way how it was served and the trill of discovering the new tastes and combinations, Sweets in this place are excellent, we will definitely come back :)

    Discovered the place last year and went three times in a row as service and food were just perfect. Quite disappointed when we went back. We tried 5 dishes from the menu, finished only 1 which was good and actually sent one back. Service seemed a little nervous and hectic. Not sure if they changed the kitchen team or just need to get back into their old shape. I will try it again in a few months and hope they achieve their previous level of excellence.

    Buonasera, ci spiace leggere la sua recensione e sinceramente siamo rimasti stupiti, più che innervositi, quando ha detto che non le piace il pesce crudo, ma aveva ordinato una tartara di gambero. Inutile dire poi che non le andava non crede?....comunque Siamo sempre noi stessi come lo scorso anno, lo Chef è lo stesso.
