Osteria Del Salvagente - TRIESTE

All went well at start but service collapsed when tables were filled … it seemed that money (too many covers) trumped service… a shame as the food was not bad at all … we waited an hour for dessert and coffee … dessert was all gone so we left disgruntled rather than satisfied. … if we were on home turf , we would not have paid.

A lovely, homey restaurant. Nothing fancy but just really good food. The zucchini with mint was amazing, never had that combo before. We had the pasta with scampi and the sea bass both were great Service friendly We enjoyed it

Pappardelle alla busara straordinarie, spaghetti al nero di seppia molto buone così come il branzino con patate al forno. Complessivamente a livello di pietanze darei 5 stelle. Peccato per il servizio, dove qualche sorriso in più non avrebbe guastato. Comunque osteria consigliata

Ci siamo stati un paio di volte, un buon compromesso qualità/prezzo. Abbiamo atteso un po' in alcuni frangenti, fortunatamente non per il cibo, ma ad esempio il vino quando avevamo già iniziato abbondantemente gli antipasti, o l'amaro a fine cena. Comunque positivo
