Pizzeria Anema e Core Trieste — Restaurant in Trieste

Delicious food & friendly staff. Definitely a spot to return to! We have come here in a group of 2 and were lucky to get a table right away. It was late lunch time and fairly busy first. At first sight, I would have passed by this restaurant, but a friend of mine recommended it, so I wanted to give it a try. And I am tremendously happy, I did. The food is amazing, staff is friendly. The dishes were made to order, waiting time was acceptable. The portion size is generous and ingredients are rich and tasteful. The dishes are appealingly arranged and satisfying. Highest quality for very moderate prices. The menu offers primi piatti (first courses) and secondi piatti (mains) with meat or fish as well as pizza, appetizers, sides and salads. All typical dishes can be found and a broad range of preferences is covered (if no dietary requirements apply). Vegetarian selection is rather small, and only sides/salads are vegan, some dishes go without cheese, so lactose-intolerant people may find something. It is a small, family-run business with traditional Italian cuisine. Seating outside is limited, the interior holds more people but is quite narrow spaced. You might be lucky to get a spot walking in, but if you want to make sure you get a spot, making a reservation is highly...

I recently visited this restaurant with high expectations, but unfortunately, the experience was disappointing on multiple fronts. Despite there being plenty of space available inside, I was asked to wait outside while my food was being prepared. This came across as unwelcoming and unnecessary, especially considering the weather conditions and the lack of clear reasoning. As a paying customer, basic courtesy and hospitality should be a given — sadly, that was lacking here. As for the food, it was mediocre at best. The taste didn’t match the description or the hype, and nothing really stood out. For the price and presentation, I expected more in terms of flavor and overall quality. When I asked them for their recommendations they said go out and see the menu!! (I could not read Italian) Also I was charged 3.5 euro for a can of cola😳! and I was told if I want to drink it go outside to drink, can’t drink it inside🤷🏻‍♂️ Overall, the lack of respect shown in customer service and the average food make it difficult for me to recommend this place or consider returning. Hospitality matters just as much as what’s on the plate — and here, both were...

I recently visited with family and from the outside the restaurant looked fine so we sat down. The service was okay, though could have been a little friendlier (rolled their eyes when we told them they brought out a wrong dish. Wasn’t necessary). The menu looked nice though the prices were quite high on some items. We didn’t really have an explanations but we’re still very disappointed. Two of us ordered a pasta dish. One was very overcooked while the other slightly under, both were swimming in oil. Pretty sure some of the things, like the sauce for one of the dishes was canned from the store. Not entirely sure but definitely not homemade. Other than that the other two dishes we ordered were VERY over salted and also swimming in oil. All in all not very appetising and the portion sizes for the pasta were small for the price. The food is only enjoyable if you haven’t eaten all day and there is no other available restaurants. Definitely wouldn’t...
