Caffè Tommaseo
One of Trieste's oldest cafés, opened in 1830 on the waterfront, preserving 19th-century mirrors and chandeliers in its Viennese-style décor.
Caffè Tommaseo is named after the Italian writer Niccolò Tommaseo and was once a meeting place for patriots and intellectuals. The mirrors, light fixtures and ceiling decorations inside date from the 19th century, creating an elegant atmosphere. It also serves light meals such as pasta and desserts. Trieste is Italy's coffee capital, so these historic cafés are well worth a sit-down. Located on the waterfront side of Piazza Unità d'Italia.
