El Barcollo is a charming small bar nestled in the heart of Trieste that has captured our hearts. The cozy interior and inviting terrace create a warm ambiance, making it the perfect spot to unwind. What sets this place apart is its impressive wine list, offering a diverse selection that caters to various preferences.
