A Gem in Trapani! Reservations highly recommended as people were turned away at the door. We had our stay make reservations for us. The restaurant crew were fantastic & friendly besides one server who clearly didn’t want to be there… Outdoor seating in the summer is classy, not with plastic furniture like old photos. Mind blowing seafood cous cous with the carafe of fish broth is a must try of course.We cold have shared it as a secondi each! Raw red prawns were creamy & flavorful along with the assorted fish antipasti. Sardine & fennel meatballs in tomato sauce were out of this world delicious. The grilled swordfish steak is flavorful perfection. Try the caponata or accompany with the swordfish. Sicilians blow you away by what they can do with eggplant! The seafood pasta was delicious. Chilled Grillo white wine to wash everything down on a warm evening. We dined twice but wish we did all three evenings… The portions are large in Italian terms. Don't forget the beautiful rustic bread to mop up the sauces! Complimentary almond wine shots & sesame biscuits for dessert. Perfetto! Grazie Mille!!!

TL;DR: Fantastic Sicilian restauraunt that is a MUST TRY for Seafood lovers (I think most reviews skip over this point). Also, you should definitely book ahead of time if you are set on dining here. This restauraunt hardly needs more positive reviews, but the food and service we experienced were excellent! This is absolutely a seafood restaurant first and foremost, and if you want to try local cuisine/preparations, this is the place! Highly recommend the mixed seafood platter which was probably the highlight despite the delicious mains, due to the variety of dishes and flavours that came on the plate(s). We chose to pair our food with a bottle of local Sicilian orange wine - Aremi, which was absolutely delicious (on the drier side). The service was fantastic from the moment we sat down, we were even provided two complimentary serves of the almond liqueur and biscuits to end the meal mentioned in many other reviews. Would definitely return again and recommend to anyone visiting Trapani.

Excellent service and freshly made delicious pasta!! We ordered the pasta with clams and the traditional Trapanese pasta. When the pastas came out we noticed one of the pasta wasn’t the one we ordered (with our limited Italian ) we told the waiter and he apologised as he accidentally gave us the table next to ours order. We didn’t mind eating the incorrect pasta as it looked good and tasted good, and we told the waiter this. About 5 minutes later he brought out a small taste test size of the clam pasta for us and the table next to us. He insisted that he wanted us to try the pasta and it was on the house, we thought this was the nicest gesture and he went out of his way to make sure we were happy despite the mix up. We enjoyed all 3 pastas, they were delicious and very fresh. Quality food!!!

I kept this place for my farewell dinner in Trapani - and it was amazing food experience. I came there for cuscus with fish broth but ended up with ravioli with shrimps and tomatoes. It was so good! Mixture of flavors, mild taste and amazing texture of the dough and filling. Love it! Later I ordered dessert - Cassata Sicialiana (with oranges) - it was extremely delicious. It’s hard to compare with any other dessert but reminds a little bit of cheesecake (but not really). Waiters speak enough English to recommend and take your order. Drink arrived in 5 minutes, food was served in 10 minutes after I ordered it. It was really fast! Thank you for a such great local experience and take away cake ❤️

Non so se sono più arrabbiato perchè non ho potuto mangiarci in questo ristorante o per il comportamento del cameriere a cui ho chiesto un tavolo. Viste le buone recensioni, siamo partiti in otto da Cefalù direzione Trapani, 170 km per mangiare il cous cous. Arrivati in questa fantastica città, abbiamo cercato il ristorante per prenotare un tavolo. Percorrendo il lungomare ed il centro storico le sensazioni erano stupende, ogni foto una cartolina, colori fantastici. Arrivati nei pressi del ristorante peró, ci siamo resi conto che la zona non era delle migliori: niente chiusura al traffico; piazzetta bella, ma dava l'impressione di essere fuori mano nonostante fosse in una via centralissima; i tavoli erano sulla piazzetta chiusi in un plasticone trasparente. Non era il massimo l'impatto visivo. Alla fine però questa mia personale sensazione, poco conta. Ci avviciniamo all'ingresso e chiediamo ad un cameriere se possiamo prenotare un tavolo per il pranzo. Quasi ci ride in faccia dicendoci che hanno prenotazioni per i tre giorni successivi. Se vogliamo, forse c'é posto e possiamo accomodarci sotto alcuni ombrelloni laterali alla piazza, nei pressi di un bar - Credo non fosse necessaria la poco elegante e non richiesta precisazione sulle innumerevoli prenotazioni per i giorni successivi ed il tono ironico, di sufficienza - Comunque chiediamo di verificare. Torna dicendo che un tavolo da otto potrebbe farlo lì dove ci ha indicato. Non abbiamo avuto nemmeno il tempo di guardarci in faccia che con tono maleducato ci ha chiesto: "Allora si o no?" Ovviamente no!! Invece di invogliarci e rassicurarci a rimanere ad un tavolo comunque scomodo ed improvvisato, sembrava quasi scocciato. Non abbiamo voluto dare fastidio. Attenzione ad avere troppa sicurezza. Soprattutto: occhio a maltrattare gente che é venuta a trovarvi facendo centinaia di chilometri, perché, oltre ai 170 da Cefalù a Trapani, ne avevamo alle spalle altri 600. Un pó di gentilezza non guasta. Addio.

I don't think these guys need any more reviews, but I want to emphasize that the food is delicious, fresh and they have many options on the menu. The service is attentive and very good with recommendations more than trying to sell the most expensive wine or the most expensive dish, they take into account what the diners order to also make suggestions. The owner is a very charismatic person, he came over to see if we had any doubts with the menu and took our order to the point! And he recommended us a place to buy some of the ingredients they use in their recipes, because I was fascinated by their smoked tuna. Just try it!
