Mimì e Cocotte

Fantastic quaint restaurant. You have to look for it (off the main drag). Worth the effort! Tagliatelle with beef ragu was fantastic! We had seen the photo from another review, and we knew we wanted it. Rich and delicious beef sauce on homemade pasta. Beautiful presentation. Since it was lunch, this dish and the warm, homemade bread we're all we could eat. The staff talked a lot with us. Very hospitable and welcoming. Fabulous experience!

This place is all about keeping it simple and straightforward. If you order pancakes with maple syrup, you’ll get pancakes with maple syrup. If you ask for scrambled eggs with bacon, that’s exactly what you’ll have—no extra garnish or unnecessary decoration. It’s honest food, straight to the point. The atmosphere is really nice, and I also loved that they have a great selection of natural wines for sale. Overall, a very pleasant spot.

Definitely a recommendation, staff is very nice and the food was great, went there for breakfast and had to come again on our way to the Airport, because it was so good!

Came here on my first night at Trieste back on March 22nd. When I told them that I have a reservation in Italian, they were very welcoming and seated me. What I remember is that I had a Veggie Soup with Chocolate Cake. It was really good and the place inside was beautiful as well.

We came for dinner on our last night in Trieste and are so glad we found this amazing place! The food was delicious, the pasta was being hand made in the corner of the restaurant by what looked like the restaurant‘s „resident grandparents“, the wines were fantastic and service lovely. It was so nice we would consider a trip just to come back to this place!

This restaurant is a neighborhood gem, serving amazing freshly homemade breakfast, lunch and dinner. We went there several times during our stay and tried many of their breakfast lunch and dinner dishes. For breakfast I really like their yoghurt bowl, and, as some other google reviewers noted, the scones are easily the best scones I remember ever having (even better than what I remember having in the U.K). If you’re there for breakfast, do not miss their scones! As for their lunch and dinner menus, their pasta dishes are absolutely amazing! In fact, you can sometimes watch their pasta chef making pasta right in front of you (I later found out that they offer pasta-making classes at this location!). I loved the truffle tagliatelle, simply amazing! I also really loved the meat ragu tagliatelle—it’s the best bolognese sauce pasta I’ve ever had (and I’ve been to many Italian cities at many restaurants, and I’m usually not a bolognese pasta fan, but this one really won me over). I also really liked the burrata and tomato appetizer, as well as the eggplant on bread appetizer. Now the dessert: the passion-fruit crème brûlée is truly excellent! Their coffee drinks are also very good (the iced coffee is very good!) The restaurant is not very big so I recommend making a reservation on their busy nights and also for weekend brunches. They do have a couple large tables for accommodating large parties (of maybe 10 people?) Lastly, I notice some google reviews complain about the portion size: I personally find the portion size to be perfect as I find the portion sizes at some other Trieste restaurants too big and often times I feel too full after eating one main dish, so this place has the perfect portion size for me.

The food here is really solid: their cacio e pepe is excellent, their chocolate cake delectable and their seared tuna with seasonal vegetables decent (albeit a little overcooked). The natural wines are also good. Prices are a little on the steeper end for Trieste and the portion size but as a tourist it’s more than reasonable.

Excellent breakfast if looking for more than just a coffee and pastry! Excellent cappuccino preceded tasty scrambled egg, bacon and pancakes! Welcoming service and great value!

Amazing little hole in the wall... found it on some blogs and totally worth it! Small family owned establishment that's simple yet delicious. Best part is the meat came apart with just 1 hand and a fork! Highly recommended

It's a cute cafe which offers not only coffee and pastries but also an eclectic selection of food. We ended up having poké bowls. The waitress was kind and helpful. We are all happy with the quality of food and service. If you happen to be in Trieste and are in need of coffee or light food, this is a great option. Dogs are welcome here too! ***************************** If you found something useful in my review, please hit "useful" so that I can improve my future reviews.
