To find this restaurant, you really need to know the area. The door is very inconspicuous and looks like a hole in the wall but opens up into a quiet, multiple room, brightly lit place decorated with a mix of modern and traditional decoration. If in town, find this place!

Other than not being "open" until 1pm, this was great. Trapani is a seafood town so we stuck to seafood. I had the grilled swordfish which was a nice sized steak topped with a rich tomato sauce that somehow didn't overwhelm the flavor of the swordfish. My friend chose the roasted octopus and it was definitely a different presentation than either of us have seen before. Big portion, very tasty and nicely done. House red wine was great and the salads were huge. The restaurant is decorated nicely and could be quite the romantic spot if that's your mood. Regardless, it was a great place for lunch and would be for dinner here in Trapani. There is no street parking as it is in the middle of the pedestrian neighborhood.

Second, Do Not feel discourage with the appearance of the front side of this place that looks like a deli type since the actual dinning room is at the back with large windows overlook the garden. The two of us were the only customers that Friday evening, we were aware that the people in the area usually eat late and thinking that it will get busy as the time goes by, but nope, just the two of us for the entire night in early February. Anyhow, after 12 days being in Italy (Rome, Florence, Pisa) I would say this place has the best meal I ever experienced right after I got to Sicily. We ordered octopus salad for appetizer, big portion, tender and fresh lemon vinaigrette. Couscous with fillet of fish, which is very typical dish or considered as the specialty of the area came with tomato fish broth to be poured on top, delicious. Some pasta with mushrooms, spinach and roasted nuts also delicious with some nutty flavor and al dente. Swordfish with crust of pistachio cooked in perfection. Green salad and slices of fresh tomatoes, simple but crispy green and sweet tomatoes. Plus a compliment of warm freshly baked bread which was one of the highlights after experiencing the hard and cold bread in Rome, unsalted bread in Florence and a so so bread in Pisa. We both were very satisfied for the quality of the food since they were only open for us, technically, but never cut corners in service and the waitress was very eager to help us in giving suggestions what to order. She always came back to our table to check if everything was alright. Last, we decided to have a cassata which is a popular dessert in the area. It was not too sweet and just right.

The service was very direct slightly pretentious in a feel good way. So fun and such a good way to end your night in Italy.

ious Trapani Food - Can't Miss!…read more I walked past this restaurant a few times, but Trip Advisor reviews brought me to the doorstep for dinner. The food was absolutely delicious - simple, fresh - I wish I'd eaten here sooner as I was tired of busy and touristy restaurants. An English menu is available and I chose a recommendation from host/owner: homemade busiate (pasta) with tomato, garlic and eggplant. (If you don't like eggplant, this is the place to try it - it was an eggplant 'puff' that melts in your mouth.) House white wine, fresh bread with olive oil for dipping, and a pistachio-ricotta dessert made for a very happy evening! The casual atmosphere is great for families, solo travelers, or folks who want the feel of a local environment. Although kind of hidden yet centrally located, I agree with fellow reviewers that this spot is worth your time. Excellent service, food, and value

This spot knows how to bring fun people in thanks to him. When seated you get a complimentary sparking wine and then the fun begins. The beats on the menu are fabulous and flavourful. The Caprese salad had fresh tomatoes and homemade mozzarella cheese that made you want more. We had two Manzo Steak and they made it the way I like it. The steak melted in my mouth. Then they brought out the big guns the Steak Florentina OMG it comes out sizzling on a hot skillet and this sucker can feed 2 to 3 people on its own. Then came out the Canolo and damn it was good. Then the tiramisu and I have eaten lots of tiramisu and this was not that crap lady fingers soaked in watery flavours. This was the real deal Holyfield and was made to perfection. The creamy and smooth flavors were as if it was sent from the gods. This has been the best one I have EVER had and it was so good I had to let them know. It was Tutto Bene!!! And absolutely divine. All of the staff was very friendly including the cat that roams around Mykaela who was introduced to us by another server who was very good but I did not remember her name. While taking photos I spoke with the owner George and he was an amazing humble man and was so happy we enjoyed our time here. I highly recommend this spot because of the service, the food, the drink, and also the live music that calls you like a siren luring you in. #icucci #palmero #italytravel #italy #tripadvisor #yelpelite #vacation
