Ristorante Petrolo — Restaurant in Castellammare del Golfo

It took us 45minutes to find a parking space at around 930pm but it was all worth it. Food here is fantastic. We had bruschette, spaghetti al Nero Di seppia and the special fish mixed grill. It was a beautiful crescendo of flavours. The bruschette were very nice, lots of chopped sweet tomatoes. The spaghetti were super nice, don’t think I ever had such a good Nero Di seppia dish, I wasn’t expecting much but this was super tasty. Then the mixed grill arrived… wow.

What a hidden gem of a restaurant! We stumbled upon this charming family-run eatery while seeking a quick and satisfying lunch before continuing our journey.

As for the food, it was outstanding! Each dish showcased incredible flavors and freshness. We couldn't resist indulging in every bite. The simple pasta al pomodoro for our child was expertly prepared and thoroughly enjoyed.

If you find yourself in Castellammare del Golfo, this restaurant is an absolute must-visit. Huge kudos to the entire family for creating such a wonderful dining experience. We'll...
