    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.

    The place is overpriced and service is rude. We ordered two fish dishes with water and paid 33…read moreeuros. Both meals had maybe 10grams of fish, in microscopic chunks. When we noticed that, the rude waitress was completely ignorant. On the top of it, the forced service fee of 4euros was added in the bill. Not recommended, I would say it is a simply the tourist trap basing on low expectations of the foreign vistors.

    If you are ever in Palermo, this restaurant is worth the 30 min drive down the coast…read more Ristorante Al Burgo offers unique spin on traditional Sicilian dishes, catering to a worldly palate looking a wonderful experience. Nestled in Castellammare del Golfo between the pedestrian zone of Corso Giuseppe Garbaldi and the marina, down some enchanted rustic marble steps, sits a unique gem. My first experience was like this... My GF and I, were sat around the time of sunset, gazing upon a gorgeous view of the mountains and the vast Tyrrhenian Sea. The table was situated on the serpentine steps that cascade through a tiny corridor down to the fishing port below. Music, people, and the sounds of the ocean filled the streets as we dined. Our first dish was a fantastic mix of Sicilian favorites: fresh fish, fruit, and vegetables; new combinations of these typical foods join with different Mediterranean flavors. Across the board the selection was superb. For our prima plate we shared two pasta dishes that turned out to be a complete dream. Our server recommended a dish I've never had before. It was a busiate pasta blended with light tomato and oil based and topped with prawns and fish eggs. My eyes lit up with delight as I embraced the saw the meal and embrace the smell. It was outstanding. My Gf had the squid dyed linguine with delicious prawns and sea urchins. She couldn't believe how much her dish took her back to her childhood when she would collect sea urchins with her late grandmother. It was really a joy just to see her face as she devour it. For desert we had the semifreddo; a beautiful semi-frozen blend of hot espresso and the coffee gelato, comes together perfectly. Hands down one of the best meals I've had in Italy/ in my life. It was so good that even on our 3 day trip we had to go back a second time. I got the pesto gnocchi that time and after that the perfectly cooked tuna, it was simply delicious. She had the sea urchin pasta again. I cannot wait to go back.

    We had a lively dinner in this fine-tuned italian restaurant. The young crew is offering a menu…read moremainly based around fish and home made pasta. Great, simple and to the point. Oh forgot to mention the beautiful view inti the harbor.
