Antipastoteca Di Mare Alla Voliga

Rating: ⁸⁸⁄₁₀₀ pts
Fate brought me to Alla Voliga when I was in search of good local food, and the meal certainly did not disappoint.
I walked in just as they were opening for lunch, and being the only customer in what looked more like the deck of a ship than a restaurant, I actually wasn’t sure if I was in the right spot until a few minutes of waiting when the owner popped out of the kitchen and led me to a table.
«We have the best fish soup in Trieste, and the second best in Italy,» he tells me proudly. I peruse the Italian-​only menu and understand almost none of it. While not confident in his own English skills, the owner patiently gave me a few other non-​soup recommendations.
I ended up settling on the «little of this, little of that» seafood combo. Out came a fantastic platter of sardine, barley-​mixed octopus, olive-​mixed squid, oysters, and about 5 other things that he didn’t know the English for and that I couldn’t identify. Everything tasted like it had been freshly caught that morning. It also came with bread, and a huge slice of polenta, which to this day is the best polenta I’ve ever had.
Prices were very reasonable, and I’d definitely go back next time I find myself in Trieste… even if it’s just to try that seafood soup that hindsight tells me I probably should have ordered.

Unglaublich was da geleistet wird. Fantastisches Essen rund um den Fisch. Selbst die Vorhänge von Arielle der Meerjungfrau können vom Essen ablenken. Roberto ist sehr liebenswürdig und freundlich. Ein absolutes muss für Triesturlauber.
