Came down late one evening to Piazza dell Magione and in a second I went into Ballarak Magione…read more Learned that they have their own beer and had one, of course. Great taste. As it was a bit rainy I stayed inside and found quit soon myself involved in a couple of conversations, at the same time. And so it went on until it was time to close the pub. No problem. We went outside, the rain had stopped, and we continued to talk and share opinions and views until early morning. Had to return the next evening because people here were so gentle and easy going. And for the beer, of course. Can't tell you how many different kind of beer they have. But the one I had were all excellent. The professionalism of Ballarak Magione says it all.

Absolutely the Best. From the time you walk in until your departure you will like you are at home…read more We arrive a couple of minutes prior to their opening and there was one couple in front of us. We basically went right in which was very nice. We sat in the front room as you entered. There were about 7 or 8 tables and another room off to the side. Don't know how big but it seemed to be about the same size. After about 30 minutes the little restaurant was packed. They turned many people away. Sad for them. We ordered the Pasta with Pumpkin, Pecorino, and Ricotta Cheese and the Pasta with Pistachio Pesto, Stracciatella Cheese and Sun Dried Tomatoes. Both dishes were perfectly prepared. My pick was the pistachio one and it was addictive. I couldn't stop eating it. The pumpkin one was equally as good but that addictive kept calling my name. We both had to finally give up because we wanted to try the dessert. The dessert was definitely the finale. A deconstructed cannoli. Best we had In Palermo. This place nails it. The atmosphere is hip. The music is great. The service is the best we have had in our three weeks in Sicily. Prices are very reasonable. Highly recommend. Make a reservation!!!

On the edge of western Sicily the small town of Nubia greets you with the newly opened Life Risto…read moreBar. A modern place serving coffee and other joyful beverages. Ice cream of course. And tobacco. Plenty of people around. Kind and generous vibrations. When you have bought your ration of the world famous red garlic of Nubia Life Risto Bar is the perfect place to sit down starting to consider how to transport over 8 kilos of garlic.

After dinner, we decided to go for a stroll in the tiny town of Balestrate. Why Not? is a local bar…read moreand seemed to be the hopping hip spot. Popular with locals and tourists alike, they seemed to be on the younger side but everyone is nice and buzzing. We stopped in for a beer and shots, much cheaper than drinks in NYC/DC. There was live music. Italians must not tip or tip well because when we left a tip, the bartenders were all looking down at the money dish in amazement and thanked us a ton lol.

Very pleasant place to stop for coffee when you walk on Trapani…read more The coffee is good and priced better than in other more touristic places. The pastry is fresh every day and very tasty. Waitresses are very friendly. I wish I have such place nearby. This the place to go for coffee every day.
