Happy 106th Birthday to our beloved Papa Gianni
70 years ago, you opened the doors of Caffè Trieste and created something far greater than a café—
a place of family, music, and community, just as you dreamed.

Your strength, vision, and love continue to guide us every day.
We carry you with us always and honor your legacy in every cup we serve.

Buon compleanno 🇮🇹☕️❤️💚❤️

Celebrating 70 Years of Caffè Trieste 🇮🇹☕️

Today, April 1, 2026, marks 70 years since Papa Gianni first opened the doors of Caffè Trieste in 1956. What began with his vision, courage, and love for community has become a lasting home in North Beach—where generations have gathered over espresso, music, and conversation. We are deeply grateful for what he created, and we continue to honor his legacy every day by carrying forward the traditions, spirit, and sense of famiglia that define Caffè Trieste.

Join us on Saturday, April 4, 2026 as we kick off a year of celebration honoring 70 years of family, tradition, and community.

☕ Espresso or Cappuccino for 70¢
8:00 AM – 10:00 AM

It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of Mamma Ida Giotta, beloved matriarch of the Giotta family and cherished wife of our late founder, Giovanni “Papa Gianni” Giotta, at the remarkable age of 101.

For decades, Mamma Ida’s gentle spirit and unwavering love were a quiet yet guiding light behind Caffè Trieste. A devoted mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother, she cared deeply for her family, her community, and every friend who crossed our threshold. Many will remember her for her beautiful voice—a voice that brought joy, comfort, and elegance to the café and to all who heard it. Her kindness, grace, and music touched countless hearts, and the warmth she carried will forever echo through the soul of Caffè Trieste.

The Giotta family thanks our community for its love and support during this difficult time.
May her memory continue to shine in the heart of North Beach and in every cup shared at Caffè Trieste.
