This little place slightly out of the way is the home of excellent and low prices. Their fish is superb, and they will only serve it if it is extra-fresh. Other restaurants will for instance have the famous fish couscous every Friday, regardless of fish arrival -- not here, they will only do it if there was the right type... More

I sought this restaurant out as a because of its good reviews, on my first day in Trapani. While the food was good, the service was the most inhospitable I received during my two weeks in Sicily. We went on the earlier side of lunch and the restaurant was nearly empty with just a few parties inside. Yet, when we... More

Superb (sea-)food. Nice setting. Little bit hidden outside the city centre but always crowded by locals. And for good reason! Make a reservation and be in time.

I ate here with my husband while he was in Trapani for work. He found out about this restaurant from locals. The food was fresh and cooked well. If you get the owner as your server, ask him to tell you what is fresh that night and you will receive the best dish of the house. The waitress is a... More

We spoke to local and foreign visitors in the resturant. Some said it is one of the best restaurants in Trapani. It didn't disappoint me at all. Beautiful food. Look nice, Taste even better than it looks. I had a good time absolutely. We went there on a Friday lunch though. We had good service.

A restaurant that is surviving on its name, and definitely not by its food or hospitality. We had to wait 20 minutes before even getting some water, when we tried to flag down the waiter he gave us the 'yes, yes' dismissive hand gesture before helping other guests. The first course of pasta was good, when it finally arrived, but... More

Very good food at this popular place in the newer part of town, and a good wine list (not so common in Trapani, despite the excellent food almost everywhere). Service a bit unfriendly.

While the notice on the menu is "the menu may suffer variations" the quality of food does not suffer from modifications based on what is fresh and in season. Simply prepared and absolutely delicious. As another reviewer noted, the wait staff are a bit brusque, but consistently so, both to the devoted locals and the occasional tourist. The restaurant was... More

The food was excellent - timbale of sardines unbelievably good. Only problem was the service especially the waitress who looked like she was going to beat us up. We got out alive and still remember how good the food was. Be brave and try it out!
