Harry's Piccolo

Harry’s Piccolo in Trieste, Italy, holds two Michelin stars and specializes in contemporary Italian and Mediterranean cuisine. The restaurant is led by chefs Matteo Metullio and Davide De Pra, who have collaborated since 2013. Matteo, originally from Trieste, developed his skills in high-altitude kitchens and trained under Norbert Niederkofler, while Davide brings experience from elite alpine kitchens and luxury hospitality. Their dishes blend influences from the sea and mountains, focusing on genuine quality and emotional resonance rather than geographic boundaries. The dining area combines an open-plan kitchen and service space, featuring seating at a counter facing the chefs, intimate tables that reveal the culinary craft, and a private room offering exclusive perspectives. This layout fosters a seamless interaction between guests and chefs. Harry’s Piccolo’s cuisine merges tradition with innovation using meticulously sourced, exceptional ingredients from around the world. The menu emphasizes bold flavor combinations and authentic tastes, presented through signature tasting journeys that tell stories and invite deep connection. The restaurant moved in 2025 to the elegant Palazzo Dreher, continuing its commitment to refined dining experiences.
