Il Cuoppo Del Porto - TRAPANI

Been in Trapani for 3 nights. This place had the best quality food and service. We started with the Variegato di Polpe which was a mixed octupus platter with 5 variants. Bolied, fried, carpaccio, grilled salad. Massive portion and tender and tasty. We also had mussels which was a huge portion and delicious. For mains we opted for Bussiatta Profumo di Mare which was the best seafood pasta dish ever had incuding scampi, prawns, mussells, clams, octopus and calamari. The fish of the day was at another level. All well priced and waiter service was like the good old days. You will not be disappointed.

Ended up at this restaurant after few other choices were closed for the day and it was a great find. The octopus starter (a selection of different ways of cooking the octopus) was absolutely delicious . The pasta was also very good and the Cuoppo di Paranza fantastic as generally fried fish can be a bit stodgy but this one was very light and you could taste how fresh was the fish. The only drawback was the quite long wait between the starter and the main dishes, but ultimately worth the wait. They were very apologetic about the wait and explained that they had some issues as they had decided to reopen the restaurant and had new staff. Price was also very reasonable. If in Trapani this is worth a visit!

Amazing dishes with amazing people serving them. The food is so amazing with so many different tastes that you are overwhelmed instantly.

Food good and Fisher VERY fresh I have a gluten intolerance and they were happy to make me a “frittura di paranza” gluten-free even if it was not on the menu

Great fresh food, very good wine, very good service. The best fresh fish with vegetables. There are few such charming places in the city center
