Eat at “Alla Sorgente” the best trattoria in Trieste, it’s run by Mirsada.
There are 5 tables, about 15- 20 seatings, the kitchen is open-plan and decorated with wine bottles, fresh herbs and flowers.
Mirsada’s makes her own pasta, try her “maltagliati allo scogliero”, cut fettucine with sea-shells. She also does a delicious “gluten-free fritto misto” with rice flour.
All deserts are homebaked.
Via della Sorgente, 2 – closed sunday & monday
We met a Antwerp couple there on a city trip to Trieste. The lady is a journalist at the “Morgen”, a belgian (flemish) newspaper. They had found the restaurant by chance too and were so enchanted that they had dinner there every evening. She will probably publish an article about it.
