Rustiko

Top choice in Trieste


This colourful and chaotic fast-food joint may be the size of a train carriage, but it has a big Serbian personality. Come early to grab one of the four or five tables and wrack your brains to choose from the bountiful menu, which features spicy Serbian sandwiches, soups, moussaka and a hefty mixed grill. Pair with black beer.
