Popular with locals and tourists alike, they seemed to be on the younger side but everyone is nice and buzzing. We stopped in for a beer and shots, much cheaper than drinks in NYC/DC. There was live music. Italians must not tip or tip well because when we left a tip, the bartenders were all looking down at the money dish in amazement and thanked us a ton lol.

They had a very nice sidewalk patio, so we decided to stop in to see. Staff were so friendly and welcoming! We had Aperol Spritz and some of the best pizza I have ever eaten! It was warm and delicious with the perfect amount of cheese and a few olives on top. We sat outside on a beautiful evening and enjoyed our food and drinks on the sidewalk patio. We had a wonderful meal and I would go back here again! We took some pastries home for breakfast and they were also a must try! Everything was perfect!

Looking for more quality and atmosphere than the tourist crowded restaurants on the main street of…read moreBalestrate? Then the EO Winebar & Osteria is the place to go. Besides the 50+ selection of wines and other Italian drinks (Prosecco!), they offer a quite interesting diner too. See my photo of the menu. Not to mention the stylish interior which is a little attraction on itself. To keep things moderate and healthy we skipped starters and went directly for the main course. My wife loved the salmon-wrapped risotto, I very much enjoyed the vegitarian-style spaghetti. For vitamins we ordered the grilled vegetables and spinach side dishes. Less healthy, but very very delicious was the Warm hearted Chocolate cake we shared for dessert. PS: as this place is also a "enoteca" music is played all evening. I had a long fine conversation with my wife so it is not that loud, but for a romantic candlelight diner you should probably go elsewhere.

They had ice cream and lunch/dinner and some nights no person older than 20 would go there, many 20 and below people parting with a live DJ having a great time.

The view of the boats and outdoor seating was a plus. Vogue had an appealing selection of pastries and they were patient while we made our choices. Great stop for a quick bite while taking in the scenery. I thought the prices were good for being right on the water- big thumbs up for that!

Trapani is one of Sicily's temples for good food and wine. Due to the proximity to North Africa the…read morecuisine in the area is very influenced by Arab tradition. For example Couscous is a typical dish here, but differently from North Africa, it's prepared with a fish sauce. Just great. I was in Trapani for a few hours today and decided to spend them enjoying local food. I came across this restaurant by accident. I must say I'm very suspicious of restaurants here nowadays, the quality has dropped incredibly as the area has become more and more touristy. Since the traditional couscous takes 6 hours to make, almost all restaurants catering to tourists serve horrible pre-cooked stuff and pass it for authentic, or they get it delivered ready-made, which upsets me very much. The first thing I asked here was whether the couscous was home made, fresh and prepared according to tradition. They said yes. It wasn't. I was pretty disappointed, also because they charged 13 euros for a portion. The antipasti were ok-ish but nothing special and expensive. The pasta with fish was not bad but the noodles were basically raw. I was also upset me by the owner's attitude, advertising everything as great, home made and traditional when in fact it wasn't. I'm not only referring to the couscous. At the end of the meal they offered us a shot of a "fantastic herb liquor made with their own hands". Too bad I saw it being poured from a bottle of a known liquor brand.... We ended up paying 107 euros for 4 pasta dishes and one antipasti platter to share, plus 1 litre of local house wine from a jug. If you guys want to eat traditional Trapani food, look elsewhere, you may get a much better fare for much less money.
