Dark wood tables in setting of old wine vaults. Emphasis on local dishes - excellent fish couscous and a caponata to die for. Friendly informed service. Fairly priced. A good point was that when asked to recommend a wine, the waiter suggested one at the lower end of the price range. Many local clients so by no means a tourist... More

Excellent food, very nicely presented. Nice ambient in a very good location. They also have a cigar and wine bar adjoining the restaurant. Service was also very good with friendly staff.

Food was about average at best. Outdoor seating along Vittorio Emanuele is nice for a dinner atmosphere & people watching but there are many better choices where the food is concerned.

We stumbled upon this spot while wandering the streets of Trapani on our vacation. It was a perfect late lunch spot! We sat outside and enjoyed a leisurely meal. Both of our choices, pasta with trapanese pesto, and the couscous con pesce were excellent. The service was really good too - we felt it was attentive, but we were not... More

My wife and I had two very good meals here. Definitely book ahead. They were among the best meals that we had in Sicily. Among the standouts: an off-menu daily special of pasta and prawns, casareccie alla trapanese (eggplant/almond/tomato sauce), and fritto misto. The best, however, was the rabbit. Great wine list of Sicilian wines. And good service. If weather... More

Went in at 7.30 and it was empty. Very helpful and attentive service. As the restaurant filled up it became chaotic and the service level dropped badly - attracting anybody to do anything was a nightmare. Took 25 minutes to get the bill. Food was good and the ambience pleasing. The town is very busy, almost gridlocked, at night and... More

The location is very good and there was a queue to get inside. We reservated our table the night before. The staff is very busy and it shows in the quality of their hospitality. I ate sweet and sour tuna. It was excellent and the portion was big even without side orders. My friend had the veal and it was... More

We were staying at the B&B of the same name and were offered 15% discount on the meals at this restaurant. Having read the mixed reviews we did look at another recommended place but it was booked up, and only being in Trapani for one night opted for this. The restaurant is in a good position in the historic Corso... More

We visited the restaurant twice - my husband who is not a great eater managed to eat two plates of pasta - casareccie with pesto trapanese if I remember the name right) and mixed fish grill all at One sitting! They were absolutely delicious - he is very finicky but ate the small fish bones and all!!
