Trieste in neighbouring Friuli-Venezia Giulia was once Vienna's seaside salon and La Salvia celebrates this long association through its Friulian and Istrian offerings. Locals love to come here for a mid-market shop platter of San Daniele prosciutto and Friulian mountain cheese – fresh from farmers just over the border – or a casual weeknight glass of vino and a plate of pasta.
It’s also one of the best places in town to stock up on a broad range of Italian deli goods, from Prosecco and dolci (sweets) to canned sustainably caught fish, pasta and pesto.
