Buffet da Pepi

"Trieste has many such tavola caldi (hot-foods delis) like this one, though none compare to century-old Pepi, a much-beloved institution." Full review

"Best described as an old-world fast-food counter, the buffet emerged from the habit of Trieste’s dockworkers and shopkeepers to take a quick midmorning snack, or “rebechin." Full review

"A Triestino institution, this is the oldest and most esteemed of the many "buffet" restaurants serving pork and sausages around town, with a wood-paneled interior and seating outside." Full review

"The counter here is a site of porcine carnage: legs, necks, bellies, tongues and testicles, all awaiting a slap of relish...at lunchtime there are hot, takeaway brisket or pork rolls." Full review
