We were looking forward to a dinner at this busy restaurant. The servers were very busy, as there were only two. They performed very well.
The food was nothing special...I ordered a trio of seafood and it didn't really taste fresh. The tables are very close together. Maybe I just ordered the wrong thing as I looked around at what everyone else was eating and it looked quite good. I would have given this restaurant one more try if I had more time in Trapani

Lovely service, amazing food and perfect wine! One of the best meals we've had in Trapani. Would absolutely love to go back for more!

We just returned to our apartment and Tripadvisor was still open to the restaurant so I thought I might as well write this review.

The restaurant was crowded, so we had to wait and went next door for a glass of wine. We returned at the time we were told for our table and after a few more minutes, we were seated. The restaurant was nice, atmosphere was very good. For lack of a better way of saying it, the menu had some unusual flavor/ingredient combinations, kind of a nouvous italian. We ordered, looking forward to trying 4 different dishes, risotto, pasta, prawns, etc. Unfortunately, when our food was served, the flavor combinations just didn't work. For example, a pasta dish that was clams vongole with broccoli turn out to be a broccoli puree with clams. Not only didn't it look good, it didn't taste good.

Anyway, the check for 4 of us with wine was 102.00 euros. We have been in Italy/Sicily for almost a month and this was the worst meal we've had during our trip.

The place is not perfect but nice. Me and my partner ordered fettuccine with lobster and tuna in pistachios. We waited about 20 min. The taste was amazing. My friends was not that lucky... They appetiser came in same time like our plates. For second dish they ordered same tuna and barbecue octopus. We waited for this more than hour! And tasted not that good like our food! We had feeling that the staff is ignoring us because no one of them was speaking English... We got wrong water, not splited bill like we ask... So we could not even complain about food, because no one there know English..... So 3/5 our food was amazing but service is low.
