Old Trieste - S San Diego

Larry and Staff...Thank you for the years of superb dinning experiences... the iconic Memories ... You will be sadly missed. Shelley Webster

Best lamn and calamary in town!!! our family really enjoyed the old fashion admosphere!

My experience was neither as good or as poor as reviews would have you believe. Contrary to negative reviews, service and atmosphere were impeccable, though we dined on a slow night. Contrary to positive reviews, this is not some hidden gem that you are missing out on. Food was fairly average and lacked the wow factor that warrants a 5 star review. The two standouts were the fried zucchini and fresh bread. Given the meat and fish entrees are priced high (over $30) my friend expected higher quality flavors of her filet mignon dish. Glasses of wine are overpriced at over $11 per glass considering they serve wines that you find standard around town for much less. These prices are also not listed on the wine list because the wine list does not list wine by the glass. The mushroom pasta I ordered was served in a massive portion and was the only vegan option on the menu. While I got two meals out of it and it was certainly a good portion size, it wasn't good enough for me to expect to return anytime soon.

Amazing! The ambiance is great, the fried zucchini a MUST!

Delicious Italian dinner, just perfect for a birthday.
