Caffè Tommaseo

Piazza Nicolò Tommaseo 4c, Trieste (TS) · Italia

Our editorial review

Opened in 1825, it is the oldest café in the city still running. The house-blend espresso is served in a hall of 19th-century mirrors and stucco, or on the terrace looking towards Molo Audace. Prices slightly above average, justified by the position. Service is formal yet friendly; perfect for a sunset aperitivo.
