Romantically nestled on the corner of the winding hilly street known as Via Comici, sits one of the most unique restaurants in all of Italy known as the Antica Trattoria Suban, or as one might translate into English: the Ancient Tavern of Suban.
Originally founded in 1865 by Giovanni Suban after winning the royal lottery in Vienna, today the Antica Trattoria Suban has steadily grown in stature and reputation under the skillful direction by the pater familias, Mario Suban; fourth generation of the same family.
It is a restaurant of simple Italian elegance with a dedicated staff and proud cuisine; often with Mario Suban at your tableside, speaking fluently several languages, taking your orders from its lengthy and elegant central European cuisine with local and modern influences.
And it is here that you may sample the most exquisite local wines; and experience such wonderful dishes as Truffle Foundue, Veal Shank, Ham in Pastry or Risotto alle Erbe Carso -which is a Risotto with herbs from the local Carso area, a unique high plain built mainly of limestone.
With Mario Suban’s leadership since the 1950s, the Antica Trattoria Suban’s fame has far exceeded the boundaries of Italy, whether involving itself with international culinary reviews, or becoming a cherished gastronomical retreat for peoples of all walks of life such as the national soccer team, the Pope, Italian presidents, Nobel Prize winners or world champion boxers.
And now, through Jantiena’s program, you yourself will be able to experience a special visit into the heart of the Suban, managed by Mario’s lovely daughter Federica, with always the careful attention of Mario himself not too far away.
Be prepared to experience some of the most fabulous dishes you will ever hope to find, unique to the Suban and the area of Trieste; presented by none other than Mr. Mario Suban himself!
