About this place El Cassettin

El Cassettin is a small, low-priced fish restaurant on Via della Ginnastica in Trieste, about a 10 to 15 minute walk inland from Piazza Unità. Reviewers praise the fresh fish, a good wine list and fast, friendly service. It is a mainstream restaurant listed as gay-friendly, not a gay venue. It rates 4.7 on Google from about 480 reviews. The room is small, so book ahead, especially at weekends. We have no hours on file, so check before you go.

One of the best dining experiences! Everything was just perfect! The restaurant is small and cozy, the food is fresh and tasty. For children the chief made pasta which was not listed in the menu, so everyone was happy!

I was looking for a new seafood restaurant and discovered a little gem in the heart of the city. The atmosphere is cozy, intimate, and elegant, with meticulous attention to detail: a place that captivates at first glance. But the real star is, of course, the food. Each dish is carefully crafted, flavorful, and presented with meticulous care. I chose the John Dory fillet with raw prawns and guacamole (extraordinary), and the scallop carpaccio (I don't have a superlative to describe it as extraordinary), incredibly fresh and delicate. Attentive service, a relaxing atmosphere, and cuisine that manages to be creative without compromising the quality of the ingredients. A place worth discovering, and one I will definitely return to. Congratulations!

The restaurant is located a little outside the city center, a 10-15 minute walk from Piazza della Borsa. The walk is well worth it, though. The food was excellent, the wine list very good – a small, very fine restaurant. Highly recommended.
