G G - TRAPANI

To start with, the wine fridge broke and the white wines were practically heated. Accidents happen and it could have been excusable if the food was good. Sadly, it wasn’t. The caponata we wanted to order for starters was not there; out of season, apparently. So we settled for polpo alla pantesca con patate which turned out to be a gummy textured octopus served with undercooked potatoes. Another starter, vongole saute, came with no plate for the shells or even a spoon for the sauce (perhaps because it was wholly unmemorable . The dish that moderately worked was busiate trapanesi the combination of almonds and garlic was original and tasty, and the portion was huge (in fact too large to finish . The other pasta dish was linguine gambero rosso marettimo totally unimaginative: 4 prawns (shells, heads and all on a large heap of pasta with minimal amount of tomato based sauce. When we entered the restaurant, we were the only guests, initially we thought it was because of the early hour, but apparently it was the cook’s night out too. The server was polite, but inept (to put it gently and the price was preposterous (65€ for such a poor meal. With a number of great restaurants going out of the business recently, one would think the surviving ones would be the best. Sadly, the opposite. Avoid if possible, feel warned.

Delicious food, we had sauté clams with croutons, then red prawns and linguine followed by Cassatella ricotta. Best meal we’ve had in Sicily so far , sorry with great bottle of red Nene Nero d’avola. Very reasonable price for the quality. Nearly forgot to mention the friendly staff and lovely … highly recommend it

Unfortunately I wanted pizza instead of seafood when we were seated at this restaurant. The pizza looked amazing but that's where the superlatives end. 3 of the 5 of us had pizzas. The other 2 had seafood dishes and were completely satisfied. Our pizzas were cut at the most insane angles so that pieces ranged from quarter sized bites to godzilla sized pieces. The main issue we all had is that there was so much cheese that after a few bites you were stuffed. It was like a Chucky Cheese pizza. You could not taste sauce or any of the toppings. None of us ate more than a third of each pie. We sampled the seafood dishes and they were good. Not amazing, but good. In hindsight, I should have done a better job of reviewing this place before we walked in. It was late. We were hungry. My bad. Keep in mind that this is not a cheap eats place so do your homework if you intend to eat here. If nothing else this place offers an amazing location to view the sunset. It was spectacular.

During a recent holiday in trapani, my wife and I have dinner many times in this restaurant. the menu, as mentioned, is based exclusively on fresh fish, moreover you have dishes out menu according to the ray fish. co-propriet michela is always available in the tips and proposals, very attentive to the needs of the customer. The dishes expertly cooked at the trapani by the chef vito, are always abundant, gothic and well-proposed. the wine list is wide, with many Sicilian wine cellars. the location on the seafront is elegantly presented, breathtaking sunset you can observe. Suggested dishes? cuscus, lobster soup, mixed sea appetizer, busted with red shrimps of marettimo, fried, roasted fish to trapani, linguine to the lobster, cannolo not compound eccezzionale. excellent value for money. I never give the points, but this is the right exception, I recommend it, try it to believe!

Thanks to the suggestion of some colleagues I wanted to try this place located on the beautiful promenade of trapani. recommended by the kind owner we ordered as a mozzarella appetizer stuffed with slices of salmon surrounded by slices of orange and nails of watermelon and figs and I have to say that it is a delicious combination of flavors. as first homemade linguine with red shrimp, really succulent. water and lemon sorbet to conclude. the price quality ratio was average. however recommended.
