AL VICOLETTO Ristorantino Tipico — Restaurant in Trapani

Excellent little restaurant hidden in between alleyways, boasting a curated menu that changes from week to week. I went with calamari stew (€14) for an appetizer and busiata gambero rosso (€18) for my main, and was not able to fit a dessert. Portions are solid, but not overwhelming. The calamari stew was especially delicious - the calamari were springy yet neatly doused in the rich sauce, with crunchy toasted bread providing a wonderful texture. The busiata were very good, however slightly paled in comparison to the starter. This is not due to the sauce or the exceptional pasta, but rather the calamari felt a lot more robust than the prawns. That said, both dishes were very good.

The wine selection provided by the attentive and gentle staff was lovely - I went with a glass of white wine (€6), which managed the rate feat of tasting a whole lot better than it smelled - and it didn't smell bad at all!

Overall, while this is hardly the most economic eatery in Trapani, it must rank among the better ones. The peaceful ambiance, kind staff and good to great food (including fantastic bread) leaves little to be desired....

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Al Vicoletto Ristorantino Tipici in Trapani, and it was an unforgettable experience. Nestled in a charming alley, this cosy restaurant offers an authentic taste of Sicily with a warm and inviting atmosphere.

From the moment we arrived, the staff made us feel right at home with their friendly and attentive service. The menu, though concise, is a testament to the quality and freshness of the ingredients used. Each dish is thoughtfully prepared, showcasing the rich flavours of the region.

We had with the busiate, a traditional Sicilian pasta, which was perfectly cooked and paired with a deliciously rich sauce.

This is a tricky place. They don’t have a proper menu which indicates the price per kilogram of fish. The waiter arrives, starts talking about the fantastic choices they have, you trust them, you relax, you agree on what they offer thinking that the fish can not cost more then 30-35€ per kilo in the place of €€. You are enjoying a good food. Then arrives the bill and all your nice evening is ruined by the shocking price you have to accept (60€ for a sea bream). This is a typical behavior of a robbery taxi driver in 90s somewhere in the former soviet country. If you consider yourself a good restaurant you must also have the respect to people and be transparent about your prices and policy. This is a miserable business. I think that the...
