"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."

"This place does something different to the wide range of pasta, pizza and seafood done so well elsewhere in Trieste; it celebrates the wide and diverse culture of food in the area. The meat and cheese sharing platter was probably the best we'd ever had, and the schnitzel and baked ham hock were superb. We opted for a salad side as there had been bread with the starter what a salad! It could have been a main in its own right. It also had a wide range of wines and beers the house red was particularly good. As it was far from full we had the opportunity to chat with the chef/owner a thoroughly engaging chap whose passion for the cuisine of the region was wonderful. Thoroughly recommended and very very good value a real find!"

"We read an article in Travel and Leisure from August 2011 that we saved. Admittedly, we visited 2 years after publication. The article describes the restaurant in glowing terms as the best meal I have in Trieste. The author raved about the fritto misto. We ate here recently and were disappointed. First of all, our meal cost $190 for two of us. We had 2 courses. First was amberjack tuna that my wife enjoyed. I had octopus that was just ok, pretty chewy, although the one really interesting part was the tomato ice cream accompaniment. We both had fritto misto and both felt it was mediocre. Wines were far more enjoyable than the food and apparently drove up the price. If cost is no object, you will find the restaurant charming and the service attentive. Silence in this place is akin to a church service. There are only 6 tables. It is a 5 minute walk from the piazza."

"Siamo andate a pranzo in questo locale la vigilia di Natale. Il proprietario una persona veramente molto gentile, ci ha accolte come un padre accoglie le sue figlie.Il cibo DELIZIOSO: ci ha servito come antipasto un paté di baccalà con del pane caldo tostato.Abbiamo poi preso due primi: Gricia e risotto con zucca e salsiccia. Entrambi la fine del mondo, veramente tutto gustoso e con porzioni abbondanti.Il locale è accogliente e ben arredato.Veramente molto consigliato.Torneremo sicuramente"

"I first went in to buy some beer to take home. The waiter spoke great English and was very helpful with the recommendations. Later we went back with some friends for lunch and the food was surprisingly good for, what I thought was, a craft beer place. You can go there just for a drink, to buy some beers for home or to have a good bite."
