We celebrated our daughter's baptism here, and what can I say? Everything was perfect: fantastic food, friendly and very professional staff. Thank you all for making our evening unforgettable. We'll definitely be back.
Amazing, to say the least! The food is top-notch, the customer service is top-notch, and the service is exceptional. Rocco di Marzo is a guarantee! An experience you'll want to repeat over and over again, never the same!
We were generally satisfied with the food, and the two young waiters in particular were friendly and attentive. Unfortunately, several things marred our overall impression. Although the sign indicated the restaurant was still open, the air conditioning was switched off early. After we noticed it was getting too cold, it was briefly switched back on, but then switched off again shortly afterward, leaving the pavilion uncomfortably chilly. Since we were the last guests, we clearly got the impression that they were trying to get us to leave. As we were leaving the restaurant, the management neither said goodbye nor acknowledged us – instead, their glances seemed distant and unwelcoming. Communicating in English was also difficult, which further made our stay more challenging. Overall, we didn't feel welcome, which is a real shame, as we've had much warmer experiences at other restaurants in Trapani. We will not be returning. Overall, we were satisfied with the food, and especially the two young waiters were friendly and made an effort. Unfortunately, our overall impression was affected by several issues. Although the restaurant was still officially open (according to the sign on the door), the air conditioning had already been turned off.

Overall, unfortunately we didn't feel welcome, which is a pity, as we had much warmer experiences in other restaurants. For this reason, we would not consider returning.
Highly recommended; everything was truly delicious. Friendliness and professionalism reign supreme. A well-deserved positive rating.
We went there for dinner yesterday and arrived right at opening time, 7 p.m. At that time, there were no other guests in the restaurant, yet all the tables were still dirty from the previous customer. The menus were also greasy and unkempt. The waiter was friendly, but he noticed the table was dirty and simply wiped away the worst of the grime with his hand without properly cleaning it. When ordering, I had a question about a dish, which the waiter unfortunately couldn't answer properly. In the end, I was served two main courses, even though I had only ordered one – I had simply asked a question about the second one. Consequently, the bill included two main courses, which I had to pay for. The restaurant's ambiance is nice in itself, but the hygiene issues and the overall service left a poor impression. For this reason, we unfortunately wouldn't visit the restaurant again.

Excellent restaurant on the water. Recommend the variety antipasto to get the full range of the wonderful concoctions they make, little cubes of seppia...

My husband and I had been walking around Trapani getting lost and looking at all the restaurant menus. 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
After a disappointing meal at another restaurant the night before I was very happy with this restaurant. They didn't have exactly what I was looking for on the menu. After explaining what I desired I was assured by the hostess that her father would make me what I wanted. A simple dish of pasta with shrimp, calamari, clams and mussels in a white sauce. Plenty of seafood with great flavor. Family owned and run. I wish we could go back. Highly recommended.
We had a second lunch in a row there today. It did not disappoint. Lovely friendly service, fantastic food and wine recommendations. It was air conditioned inside which was really appreciated in this weather but there is also outdoor seating near the sea wall. Today the chef came out with some extra snacks and also made sure we were enjoying our meal. Highly recommend.
We were three people and a toddler, the food is amazing the staff perfect and the wine superb. Don't miss it!
This restaurant was recommended to us by our tour guide at nearby Segesta, who was a native of Trapani, and the reservation made by our hotel for us. The restaurant has a large enclosed front patio, indoor seating, and a large back seating area that overlooks the sea and adjacent promenade. The service staff was pleasant and attentive, and offered an excellent, reasonably priced wine recommendation. We felt neither rushed nor ignored and had a nice leisurely dinner. The four of us split several appetizers, each couple split a first course and had separate second courses. No complaints about any of the choices, although a choice with fried seafood was more greasy than necessary. Very tasty fresh pasta and seafood.
