You’ll find the flavours and comforting atmosphere of the fine old restaurant of days gone by, where families used to go for the Sunday lunch ritual: Menarosti — opened in 1903 and run by the Benussi family since 1975 — is an institution for the people of Trieste, who come here for lunch and dinner throughout the week, drawn by its simple, genuinely traditional cuisine, with just a few dishes prepared to perfection using excellent ingredients. And so you’ll find grancevola, the legendary seafood risotto, light as air fried dishes, and the much-requested catch of the day, served with first-cut radicchio and beans, as well as Central European desserts (strudel, Linzer torte, gibanica).
