Buffet Clai - TRIESTE

It's a really good restaurant/buffet. Great place to try Italian food.

We wanted to take care of food quickly. They usually have fried dishes in most of the opening hours, but they are really good. The best of them was the peppers filled with cream cheese, I wish we had bought more of them. The staff was friendly although it had problems with English. Next time we also try their a la carte menu.

The waiter helped us very kindly get a table for four and tried to explain and translate the daily menu as our knowledge about Italian was very bad. We ordered the spaghetti carbonnara a tonno, gnocchi con goulasch, gnocchi al ragu de branzino and tagliolini funghi porcini e salsicia. Everything we ordered, tasty, fresh and homemade. For dessert we have the Crema catalana with strawberries and pistachios for a perfect end to our lunch! Can't recommend this local favorite if you want a real Triestino experience!

Buffet Clai is an amazing 'trattoria ' in the center of Trieste. Friendly and cozy atmosphere, the food is great and the owners make you feel at home. Definitely recommend if you enjoy fish meals.

Great for ciccheti. Good wine too. Very reasonable price. Always nice people.
