We had been in Sicily for two weeks and I was getting tired of pasta. Don't get me wrong, love the pasta, I just wanted something else and I don't eat swordfish, tuna or shellfish. This restaurant had pork on the menu. We made a reservation for that night. Our meal was fantastic. I had the pork dish and my husband had a dish of pasta in a white sauce with all kinds of shell fish and seafood. His dish was not on the menu they made it for him special. The service was excellent. This is a family run restaurant. Dad is the chef. I would definitely eat here again if I could

The ingredients—especially the fresh fish—remarkably stand out for their quality, and dishes such as busiate, couscous trapanese, and fritto di paranza are clear examples of respect for local flavors. The variety of appetizers and raw dishes is also surprising, as is the creative use of ingredients such as citrus fruits and Mediterranean herbs that add freshness. The service at StraVento makes a truly enjoyable visit: the staff is attentive, professional, always willing to explain the dishes or suggest local wines. Furthermore, the ambiance, with a terrace and sea views, creates an ideal atmosphere for a relaxed dinner; at sunset, the golden light and sea breeze add a lot. In terms of value, many people think the restaurant is a bit more expensive than what you might pay at more basic local trattorias, but the experience justifies it. If you're looking for great food, thoughtful presentation, and a special evening with a view and atmosphere, StraVento is a great choice. Highly recommended if you're in Trapani or along the coastal area.
