I’ve been to this restaurant many times (the first few times in the summer of 2018 before the pandemic, the second batch of visits during the summer of 2021 during the pandemic, and most recently the summer of 2024). I always make sure I come to this restaurant whenever I’m in Trieste; in fact, this restaurant is one of my reasons for returning to Trieste, and I find myself oftentimes thinking about the food at Tavernetta al Molo in the three years between my visits. A few disclaimers: you will see some photos containing sandwiches that are actually food photos from the restaurant next door. This restaurant al Molo does not serve sandwiches, the restaurant next door does. Another disclaimer: this restaurant does not like walk-ins. If you’re a walk-in customer, even if the restaurant is not completely full, they may not take you. This restaurant mainly serves the locals and they have a loyal local customer base, so they do not pander to tourists. If you want authentic Italian homemade style cuisine with superb quality seafood, you should definitely try this place. You might not get a waiter who can even remotely speak English (in fact I’ve never had so much trouble communicating in English with my waiter anywhere else in Trieste, but there you go). The food is definitely worth the language barrier! If you love fresh seafood, you’re gonna love this place. My favorite dishes are: raw mixed marinated seafood (I love this one even more than the best raw seafood mixed appetizer I had in Palermo, Sicily); scallops with pesto pine nuts sauce; warm fish (I think it’s baccala?) salad appetizer; seafood risotto (for 2 people only); octopus carpaccio; zuppe di frutti di mare (seafood soup, this one is so amazingly fresh it’s like drinking the Adriatic). To be fair, their prices in 2024 in perhaps triple their prices in 2018, but I still think this is the best seafood restaurant I found in Trieste and even in Italy outside Sicily. Their cooking style is home style: simple and down to earth, let the ingredients speak for themselves, like how your Italian grandmother/grandfather would make it if they had the freshest ingredients. They have a beautiful terrace right by the pier and you can watch the beautiful Adriatic gently rocking the yachts. This restaurant is about 10-min walk from the beautiful Miramare castle (3-min walk from the castle grounds entrance), which is one of the most beautiful castles in the entire Europe (if you like castles by the sea).
