Joia - TRIESTE

Excellent small fish restaurant, professional service and gourmet dishes. As in the best places, the owner is also the cook. They offer wine and cocktails tasting, pairing of food and drinks

In Trieste this is the fish restaurant to eat. Very creative cuisine with lots of attention to details, taste and tell. Fine food at its best, good value for money, and although the part is relatively small, we highly recommend it.

Really tasty seafood restorant, the menu is short and easy to get understanding, the starters and mains were great with wonderful mixture of different flavors. The service was well organised and friendly. I especially liked the atmosphere in the outside sitting places, and the general vibe from the street and other customers was great.

We ate here last night, recommended by my sister. Let me say that I couldn't be happier, the restaurant is very nice, the service was excellent, all the wait staff was welcoming and professional. Now the food, we started with an appetizer, zuppa di cozze (mussels soup), it was absolutely delicious, you could taste all the flavors, the mussels were very fresh, you could taste the sea in them! Every flavor was very balanced, nothing overwhelming. Our main dishes were both pasta, we got the paccheri with scampi and the linguine with mussels. Both dishes were very well prepared and presented. The paccheri with scampi (that are very different from shrimp) were delicious, and the combination with the stracciatella di bufala was surprisingly fresh and well balanced. The same can be said for the linguini with mussels and guanciale, it was a really good combination, the crispness and saltiness of the guanciale was a very good contrast to the softness of the mussels. In the end we left very satisfied and we absolutely recommend this restaurant

Outstanding. Good service and nice location. The raw platter was especially good. Off the hook ha ha ha
