Osteria Da Marino

About

Located in the heart of Trieste, Osteria da Marino is a storied culinary haven that traces its roots back to 1925, when it opened as a humble café for Samuele Cesana. After a brief closure in 1940 due to its Jewish origins, the establishment was reborn by Marino, evolving into a vibrant gathering place for students, artists, and wine lovers. In the 1990s, the passionate rugby duo Maurizio and Barbara infused the Osteria with a spirited, community‑centric energy, making it a local landmark for the sport. Today, since 2017, Ivan and his dedicated team continue to refine the Osteria’s menu and ambience, ensuring it remains a cornerstone of Trieste’s dining scene. Guests can enjoy traditional Mediterranean fare, including a variety of gluten‑free and vegetarian options, all served in a warm, welcoming setting that blends historic charm with modern flair. Whether you’re exploring the city’s rich cultural tapestry or simply craving hearty Italian classics, Osteria da Marino offers an authentic experience that celebrates culinary heritage, friendly service, and the joyous spirit of this beloved local institution.
