"To learn more, I arranged a chat with Cristina Favento, a travel and food journalist who has researched the history of Trieste’s cafes.

"An iconic Viennese-style café in Piazza Unità d'Italia that serves as a classic introduction to the city’s strong coffee culture and historic port identity; it’s noted as the sort of storied institution frequented by locals and visitors alike in a city long linked to the global coffee trade via the Illy brand." - Travel + Leisure Editors Travel + Leisure Editors Since 1971, Travel + Leisure editors have followed one mission: to inform, inspire, and guide travelers to have deeper, more meaningful experiences.
