Opened before WWII, the family-run Siora Rosa is one Trieste's best-loved traditional buffets (bar-restaurants).

Global neo-burger joint meets Triestini sophistication in this casual Canal Grande–side place. Yes there are exposed bricks and pendant lights and boys in beards and black t-shirts. But the burgers are good with interesting specials, such as the prawn burger or Hawaiian with chargrilled fresh pineapple, and, an extra surprise, there are occasional DJs and live music from midnight.

This veritable hall of mirrors (specchi) first opened its doors back in 1839 and has more recently been taken over by the chocolatiering Faggiotto from Pordenone (although the matriarch is a local; in fact, she was Miss Trieste 1982). This is the ultimate Piazza Unità front-row seat, whatever the weather, and the coffee has returned to its once former glory.
