Fabulous food and excellent, friendly service. Although the restaurant was very busy, it was clearly well run

+7We were lucky enough to get a table at Trattoria ai Fiori in Trieste – completely by chance, and as the only German couple among many regulars and friends of the family. From the very first moment, we didn’t feel like strangers, but like truly welcome guests in a very special circle. The 4-course menu was perfectly balanced: every dish full of flavor, prepared with obvious passion by the wonderful kitchen crew. The accompanying wines were presented to us directly by the winemaker – authentic, charming, and a real highlight. The outdoor seating, the warm and relaxed atmosphere, and the combination of food, wine, and hospitality made the evening unforgettable for us. Conclusion: A fantastic place we wholeheartedly recommend – for us, one of the most memorable evenings in Trieste.

We had an exceptional experience. The service was impeccable - attentive, warm, and thoroughly professional from start to finish. The food was nothing short of outstanding; the pasta, in particular, was quite possibly the best we have ever had. Everything else lived up to the standards one would expect of a two-fork Falstaff rating. The only shortfall, however, was the dessert selection. While the main courses were sublime, the pâtisserie felt somewhat underwhelming in comparison, suggesting the absence of a dedicated pâtissier. Nonetheless, the overall quality and experience were excellent and certainly worth a visit for any discerning diner.

Outside tables next to the park fill quickly and a pretty quiet (away from walking street). Good range of wine/prices by bottle and food was flavorable

A real Italian trattoria with well prepared food very much focussed on fish and seafood, done simply but very well. An extensive wine list. A pleasant atmosphere in a classic way.

Food was interesting and tasty. There seemed to be a mixup on my reservation as they did not have but acknowledged my confirmation.

6.0
Didn't live up to the expectations. Some courses were a hit, others a miss. It's a pity. Good service, but not very cosy (old fashioned design). The white house wine (not on the wine list) was cheap, but not very good.

We took the tasting menu, it was delicious and probably one of the best value for money tasting menus we’ve ever eaten. Excellent service as well. The fish was very fresh and it was a very pleasant meal.

My husband and I loved our meal here. Everything we had was great but our favorite was the fish of the day. Unique flavors that blended perfectly together. Would definitely eat here again.

If you want to have a really special dinner, book a table at this historic restaurant, and don't forget to ask the owner about the history of the place. You will be surprised!

Ai Fiori is a charming little restaurant in a very pleasant neighborhood. The hostess and owner of the restaurant makes very good recommendations which I was wise enough to follow both for food (fish) and choice of wine, which made the dining experience even more enjoyable. In fact, the experience on the first evening was so convincing that I have returned the next evening and this time taking advantage of the offer to pre-order fish for the next day, which the owner bought on the fish-market the next morning for me. I will definitely return to Ai Fiori next time that I come to Trieste.

Chef degustation menu with suggested wines. Very friendly staff, good food and wines accompanied the courses very well.

WHAT an elegant space! Almost as elegant as the food. Staff were efficient and attentive. Wine list extensive. My sea bass, enveloped in nori, was delicious. My husband's linguini with clams was equally as delicious. We applaud the efforts of this fine establishment. We'll be back next time we're in Trieste.

We wanted a fancy Dinner for our Last night in Triest. And the Dinner itself was great! Perfect Service, lovely food. But I Had the Risotto with raw Shell and Got a very Bad Case of food poisening. It was a Bad Bad night and I was very dissapointed as it ruined an otherwise lovely evening.

We have visited this restaurant with pleasure quite often over the last few years. Tonight was a particularly excellent dinner for a special occasion. We took the tasting menu with wine pairing and it was truly marvellous! The quality of the fresh seafood and the inventive, finely tuned preparation with delicate sauces that supported rather than covered the primary product made for an exciting culinary evening. Each course was very individual and on it's own a standout dish...but within the menu added to a sense of coherence in the chef's philosophy. The pace of the meal was perfect and the wines were truly well chosen and added to the overall sense of excellence. Kind and attentive service, delightful atmosphere in the garden...value for money too considering all the effort made by the chef, owners and staff. A big thank you and Baccio!

Lovely, refined and quiet dining.

This restaurant is a true gem. Excellent menu with a terrific wine accompaniment for relatively little money. In addition, the warm-hearted service, which left nothing to be desired. Very nice also the guest garden, where almost under trees of the adjacent park can be dined. We will definitely come back!!

Excellent service, delicious food and very friendly staff. A cocktail with raspberries and champagne is beyond praise! And special thanks for the scampy crudo!

Superb and very interesting menu. Very solicitous service. A special dinner and arguably one of the best restaurants in Trieste in a particularly attractive square.

The quality of the food is good, but the composition (for example peanuts with scallops or squid with broccoli) did not convince us. Very good bread and wine.

Terrific food and great service. Everything local and fresh. We are returning for dinner one day after first visit.

Dining alone, I was a bit concerned with how I would be seated. I did not have to worry. I was seated smack in the middle. Other single diners were also well placed. Delicious and original food. Small appetisers were served between dishes. I hope to return before leaving Trieste.

The food is excellent but the sitting is not. In the place where you leave over 100 for 2 you have to stay almost on top of each other. Too tight the place
