Antico Caffé San Marco

San Marco is a historic café that was founded in 1923, restored and reopened in 2013 following a lengthy period of closure. It was once frequented by intellectuals like Italo Svevo and James Joyce, who sat in it secession style-interiors decorated with frescoes. The choice of pastries is as wide as the one for Trieste's coffee, which comes in many forms. A bookshop can be found here as well, if you'd like to have a good read coupled with your meal.
