Antico Buffet Benedetto is a very nice downtown restaurant that is clearly favored by the locals. We dined on a Monday evening along with many other quiet patrons. The interior was warm with pleasant music playing in the background. Our server was friendly, the table settings were handsome and the vegetables were all very fresh. We ordered a number of dishes including Three Fish Antipasto, Ham Plate Antipasto, Grilled Tuna, and Boiled Meats and Potatoes (photos attached). The Grilled Tuna was very good and the Boiled Meats were exceptionally good. We have eaten at many restaurants in Trieste during our numerous visits and we would definitely eat here again.

We wandered past this little pub, in the rain on a Sunday evening just after arriving in Trieste. The rain and our hunger (and distinctly rare parking around here) made us willing to forego a search for authentic Trieste Italian food in favor of what was to be had immediately. We were very happy we did. Being dang Americans on our first night in town, we let ourselves get quite hungry at 5:30 pm in a country where supper starts at 7:30 pm. The menu boasted its burgers and Guinness. SOLD. Again, we generally seek out local cuisine but not tonight. They opened at 6:00 PM and we were the first to arrive. We were greeted with a lovely, attentive waitress who spoke no English (one of the nice things about Trieste - you have to work a bit!) but we soon had beer and wine and then the chef, who spoke a little English invited us to his grill to see our options in person. The hospitality was genuine and delightful; we felt VERY welcome. What they specialize in is beef, locally raised and organic, in many forms. On offer a veal shank for two people and also a âspecialâ of a Slovenian sausage variation that was tempting. But having just had lots of sausage in Slovenia, we opted for the âAssembly Lineâ burger along with a side dish of potatoes, ham and cheese that was simply to die for. When the burger arrived (we split it) we did a double take! The presentation was big and beautiful. The burger was perfectly cooked with a touch of pink and was a normal size while toppings and the bread (two large squares of focaccia-like bread) made for a tower of a burger. Our drinks were kept as full as we wanted and the owner came by several times to check on our satisfaction. The decor is pub, with record albums and photos on the wall and with American Country music playing. While we arenât really country music super fans, the ambience was perfectly enjoyable. There was a single tv screen with a soccer game (sound off) which I put behind me so as not to be distracted, but which later patrons kept an eye on while enjoying their equally impressive burger creations. So if you feel like a bit of Pub culture while visiting Trieste, come here hungry, maybe bring an Italian translation app for the fine details and enjoy being in a pub that letâs you know that you are welcome and that your satisfaction matters. Weâll be back.
