    The restaurant is first rate. The dining room is attractive, the staff attentive, and the food excellent. I had a wonderful scallop appetizer, followed by the pork, and then panna cotta for dessert. One of the finest meals I've had in Italy.

    What a great find! It’s a must visit while in Trieste. The food was so, so good from the welcome appetizer and a flute of sparkling wine to a wonderful dessert of pistachio tiramisu. We were greeted warmly and served impeccably. Definitely recommend.

    Excellent food, service, and ambience. We can definitely recommend the Bistro 51 for a very nice dinner.

    Every dish was delicious! The atmosphere was warm and cozy. We loved everything, but only the pace of things - it took way too long (for a place called Bistro) for the main course to arrive. And the waiter forgot the beer we asked for. But still we liked the place very much and we do recommend it

    This was a faultless experience. Very friendly and a successful wine recommendation. Flan and bream especially recommended. And leave room for the dessert!

    We had a very special anniversary and wanted to celebrate in a restaurant with lots of atmosphere. I did a lot of research and finally discovered Bistro 51. It didn't disappoint at all. The food, service and atmosphere was outstanding. I highly recommend this place for a romantic dinner.

    Nice restaurant. Ambience was great. Service was perfect and the time between dishes was excellent. Unfortunately the food was just ok. The steak and the pork we're well cooked but the dishes were very bland and not much taste to anything. It's a pity as this could be a lovely restaurant

    we are the regular at this place now since we first went more than a year ago. the cooking here is non-traditional, and it is hardly "italian" per se. that is why we love coming here. the menu has been updated and expanded a little. the cooking is inventive, modern and fusion. presentation and service (by irik ($14)) are always the best! even if sometimes a new dish does not strike 5 for my personal pallet this is always a 5 star place for us. in the summer, we do not and cannot go any where as most places in this town do not turn on their a/c, and sitting outside in the middle of heatwave is not how i want to spend my time or money! bistro 51 is one of the few places that have great comfortable a/c, always smells and looks great! we would come here and eat when it is 100 F outside and smells of dog urine and poop every where in the city! for people who complain about its portion size or "out of way" while it is literally next to il rossetti, i say to you "there is always MCD on via coral italia!" $15$16$17$18$19$20$21$22$23$24$25$26

    It was great to get away from the hustle and bustle of the main squares and sit down to wonderful meal, delightfully served. Just perfect. The "red sea" fish was a new and interesting flavour, my partner said the pork was so tender.
