Trapani is one of Sicily's temples for good food and wine. Due to the proximity to North Africa the…read morecuisine in the area is very influenced by Arab tradition. For example Couscous is a typical dish here, but differently from North Africa, it's prepared with a fish sauce. Just great. I was in Trapani for a few hours today and decided to spend them enjoying local food. I came across this restaurant by accident. I must say I'm very suspicious of restaurants here nowadays, the quality has dropped incredibly as the area has become more and more touristy. Since the traditional couscous takes 6 hours to make, almost all restaurants catering to tourists serve horrible pre-cooked stuff and pass it for authentic, or they get it delivered ready-made, which upsets me very much. The first thing I asked here was whether the couscous was home made, fresh and prepared according to tradition. They said yes. It wasn't. I was pretty disappointed, also because they charged 13 euros for a portion. The antipasti were ok-ish but nothing special and expensive. The pasta with fish was not bad but the noodles were basically raw. I was also upset me by the owner's attitude, advertising everything as great, home made and traditional when in fact it wasn't. I'm not only referring to the couscous. At the end of the meal they offered us a shot of a "fantastic herb liquor made with their own hands". Too bad I saw it being poured from a bottle of a known liquor brand.... We ended up paying 107 euros for 4 pasta dishes and one antipasti platter to share, plus 1 litre of local house wine from a jug. If you guys want to eat traditional Trapani food, look elsewhere, you may get a much better fare for much less money.

ious Trapani Food - Can't Miss!…read more I walked past this restaurant a few times, but Trip Advisor reviews brought me to the doorstep for dinner. The food was absolutely delicious - simple, fresh - I wish I'd eaten here sooner as I was tired of busy and touristy restaurants. An English menu is available and I chose a recommendation from host/owner: homemade busiate (pasta) with tomato, garlic and eggplant. (If you don't like eggplant, this is the place to try it - it was an eggplant 'puff' that melts in your mouth.) House white wine, fresh bread with olive oil for dipping, and a pistachio-ricotta dessert made for a very happy evening! The casual atmosphere is great for families, solo travelers, or folks who want the feel of a local environment. Although kind of hidden yet centrally located, I agree with fellow reviewers that this spot is worth your time. Excellent service, food, and value

I had no idea that it was Michelin rated but it certainly earned that recognition, in terms of food. However, typical to Italian style, the service is very minimal. Highly Recommend the black squid ink couscous. In the US it is typically tasteless, but it was quite delicious, rich, and flavorful at this restaurant. I couldn't really taste the Uni (sea urchin) because the squid ink was so rich, but in the end I didn't mind. Tomato salad was perfect other than it needing a tiny bit of salt. The vanilla passion drink was recommended by the waiter. He said he brought it to the restaurant from another establishment and that it's been a hit. It certainly was for me. Overall, I had a great experience and will definitely return when I am in Sicily for this conference next year! -Black cuttlefish ink and sea urchin cous cous -Sicilian tomato salad with anchovies and black olives -Vanilla passion cocktail -Service

Other than not being "open" until 1pm, this was great. Trapani is a seafood town so we stuck to seafood. I had the grilled swordfish which was a nice sized steak topped with a rich tomato sauce that somehow didn't overwhelm the flavor of the swordfish. My friend chose the roasted octopus and it was definitely a different presentation than either of us have seen before. Big portion, very tasty and nicely done. House red wine was great and the salads were huge. The restaurant is decorated nicely and could be quite the romantic spot if that's your mood. Regardless, it was a great place for lunch and would be for dinner here in Trapani. There is no street parking as it is in the middle of the pedestrian neighborhood.
