Caffè degli Specchi

Piazza Unità d’Italia 7, Trieste (TS) · Italia

Our editorial review

Sitting here means taking a seat in the drawing room of Piazza Unità, Europe’s largest square opening onto the sea. The coffee is good and service is fast even when crowded; prices are what you would expect of a historic square, with a table-service surcharge. Locals and tourists mix happily: the square-side terrace is the real added value.
