This is a peach of a restaurant tucked away on a smaller street leading to the old market square. We, a party of five had a lingering lunch while resting our feet from a mornings worth of walking. The fish dishes were exceptionally good, particularly the cod and sea bass. We also enjoyed two pasta dishes, one with eggplant the other sausage. Table wine was very smooth and the bread was very fresh and crispy, reminding me of the Italian bread I enjoyed in my youth in CT. Service was excellent, English was no problem. Prices were very reasonable and noise level was relatively low. Get to the restaurant early, the kitchen opens at 12:30 and getting there before one is a good plan. By 1:30 the restaurant is full, at least on the Sunday we were there. Overall this is a recommended restaurant, getting four clams on the coveted Five Quahog Rating Scale ( five stars on the Google scale).

The restaurant is located in the context of the village of Erice, which I recommend reaching by cable car, after purchasing tickets online, in order to skip the ever-present queue, especially in the summer. I strongly advise against reaching Erice by car. Once you reach the main street and have made the traditional stop at the Grammatico pastry shop, after passing it on the left, there are some stairs that lead down, at the end of which, moving to the left, you inevitably end up in the restaurant. The room is large and spacious and the staff, in addition to being efficient, is also very helpful. The dishes I tasted were well packaged, tasty. The service was fast. I also took a quarter of a liter of white wine and half a sparkling mineral water, and a flute of Donnafugata passito. This is a restaurant where you eat well and I recommend it if you go to Erice.

Ristorante Monte Saint Giuliano, Erice. After sightseeing in amazing Erice, we needed to get out of the cool wind and ducked into this restaurant for lunch on the recommendation of our guide. Fantastic choice. The restaurant is unassuming off the cobbled high street but delivers wonderful food served by excellent waiters. We had perfectly cooked Paccheri Siciliana, pasta with sausage, tomato, eggplant, herbs and cheese, succulent swordfish in a pistachio crumb, a tender and flavoursome Bistecca Fiorentina and sides of salad and roasted vegetables. Great value wines. As we were having such a great meal, we also had dessert - Tiramasu and Almond Parfaits. We decided this was the best meal we have had in Sicily - what a surprise find. Excellent value and highly recommended.

Authentic Sicilian food at good prices, situated inside an ancient building. Just walking in is half the experience. We both had the pistachio lamb chops. WOW. This stuff is beyond belief. Melts in your mouth, crunchy on the outside, tender within. Best lamb I've ever had. Order this and you will be chewing on the bones to get all the flavors. We had a Limoncello and the cheesecake for dessert. The Limoncello was strong and thick and the cheesecake tasted very pure - made in house with raw ingredients. This is a magical place to eat in a magical town. Highly recommended.

Uno dei ristoranti più buono che Io abbia mai provato. Siamo stati qui due sere a cena, provato sia menu di carne che menu di pesce. Davvero ottimi tutti i piatti. Dagli antipasti al dolce. Per quanto riguarda la carne, cucinata bene, cottura al punto giusto e ben condita. Ottime le costine di agnello con granella di pistacchio alla griglia. Senza dimenticare il primo... pacchetti alla siciliana davvero ottimi. Per il menu di pesce nulla da dire. Abbiamo preso un antipasto misto ( caldo e freddo) buono, sfizioso e originale, oltre che essere perfettamente in linea con la cucina siciliana. Poi abbiamo preso due primi scialatielle garibaldine (zucchine, melanzane, pesce, menta, pangrattato ecc..) e ravioli di ricotta con sugo di ricciola. Davvero da lasciar senza parole! Cottura al punto giusto e ben condite! Poi non contenti abbiamo preso un secondo perché veramente una cena così non dovrebbe mai finire...! Millefoglie di mupa agli agrumi di sicilia...! Un insieme di sapori abbinati perfettamente e molto delicatamente. Dulcis in fundus...la cassata ottima! La ricotta sembrava appena fatta. Davvero un ristorante così merita di essere provato. Non si trovano molti posti in cui tutte le portate soddisfano in questo modo,un intreccio di sapori dosato in maniera impeccabille, tutto questo servito da personale gentile e simpatico. Anche l'ambiente caratteristico e romantico..insomma posto davvero perfetto, Assolutamnete lo consiglio e spero di tornarci presto! Purtroppo non ho fatto molte foto perché ero troppo presa dai piatti e dal gustarmi la serata e la cena. Solo la cassata.

Amazing restaurant, it’s a gem of Erice!! The location is great: close to the main square, located in an antique building. During summer it’s an entrance from a back side what makes it more mysterious. The food quality is awesome and fresh ( they do pasta and deserts themselves). The staff is very attentive. It’s an amazing view from the terrace towards Egadi Islands. They also have a well working WIFI for guests. Recommended!!
