    The food was absolutely mediocre, on the border with not eatable. We had antipasti, fish cous-cous, meat balls. Everything was bad. And even the bread that they served was hard. Definitely not worth a visit.

    This restaurant has a great ambience. The serves are all very attentive. The food is very authentic, especially the busiate pasta that is a Trapani specialty and the tagliatelle pasta. Their sea bass we ordered grilled from the catch of the day was spot on and very flaky and fresh. The owner was also very nice, accommodating and very genuine. This place is a gem in Erice.

    Tried this restaurant spontaneously. Found it during our walk in the medieval town of Erice. Luckily found a table for an “early” dinner at 8pm and the staff were eager to help us. Good choice with differing meat and fish options, as well as some vegetarian ones. Was very surprised to see a long queue for the second service around 9:30. Overall a good option if you are in Erice.

    We booked a table because of gluten free options, turned out all the food was great: octopus, arancina, calamari and busiate al pesto teapanese, all very good. Also the waiters were all super kind and we really felt taken care of. Recommended!

    At first we worried this place was just another tourist trap, but the food ended up being sooo good! We tried the busiata alla pesto trapanese and the tagliatelle della pentolaccia (an overall favorite of our entire trip to Sicily).

    Cozy place for lunch, good service, nicely located in one of the narrow streets. Although pasta was overcooked and had a piece of plastic, bread was a bit hard.

    Nice fresh food. The cannolo was perfection. Nice staff, but we had to wait a while before we could order. Besides that good service.

  • 5/5 Martí Lacuesta F. 7 months ago on Google
    If you visit Erice, this restaurant is a MUST. Mario and his son offer a great experience, with fantastic fresh homemade pasta, a super tasty Octopus and great desserts. Semifreddo and tiramisú are both homemade and recommended. Also mention the service, all kind and very attentive, specially Mario and his son. 100% recommended.

    Nice food and staff! Really enjoyed it there. The pistachio pasta and desert were so damn good. Can recommend it!

  • 4/5 J&C E. 1 year ago on Google
    Excellent dinner. Porcini mushroom pasta with guanicale, pasta nuncia with prosciutto and pancetta and pistachio. Well worth the visit, especially the Donna Fugata Mille Note Nero Di’ Avola. The wine was more than the dinner for 3.

    Cute little restaurant in the side streets of Erice, downstairs dining room is very cute and the food was good! Would recommend the pistachio pesto pasta. The service was not amazing, and there was barely anyone else dining at the time (we at late and it started to rain).

    This is definitely the place to eat in Erice. We had a wonderful lunch here this week. The food was excellent, as was our waiter. The place was absolutely packed, and almost all the patrons were Italian, which speaks volumes.

    Absolutely fantastic food in a restaurant with a great genius loci. We had an amazing lunch while exploring Erice.

  • 5/5 A K. 7 months ago on Google
    Had an amazing dinner with friends, food and service was impeccable, owner himself took our payment and was very hospitable. Definitely one of the best in the area. Price was very reasonable.

    Excellent eatery in the heart of Erice. One of the dishes we ordered, the tagliata di vitello, was outstanding the rest on the good side of acceptable. The house red was exceptional, service courteous and efficient. Well worth a punt.

    Bland, stodgy and lukewarm: if this is how you like your food, then you'll find aplenty inside the Ugly Pot (Pentolaccia in Italian). Parmigiana for starter was so and so, micro-oven reheated (some parts very hot, some others very cold) and quite dull. The cuttlefish very stodgy, the only good dish was the sausage, hence the two starts instead of one.

    Delicious food and the kindest service ❤️

  • 5/5 Zuzka N. 3 years ago on Google
    Good food and prices and excellent service and waiters (which is not very common in Sicily). Highly recommended.

  • 5/5 Olga A. 3 years ago on Google
    Great service, delicious food, peaceful ambient. The menu has both meat and fish/seafood options, both of them really good. Strongly recommended!

  • 5/5 Jacopo R. 3 years ago on Google
    We received very good suggestions from the waiters. Very good value for price. Nice location.

  • 1/5 Gabriel F. 2 years ago on Google
    We were calling for 2 days to book a table without answer. The bigger the expectation, the bigger disapointment

  • 5/5 Shani F. 6 years ago on Google
    Very nice restaurant! Nice vegetarian options (parmeggiana, couscous, pasta, soups) and great service.

  • 5/5 L D. 5 years ago on Google
    Fast service and very good food! Octopus, grilled calamari, caponata, & pasta all very tasty.

  • 4/5 Riazor7 2 years ago on Google
    Very nice place, I tried a wonderful Seppie ripiene alla siciliana, really amazing. Usually there is line to seat, it's better to reserve in summer.

  • 4/5 Simply M. 2 years ago on Google
    I am only giving it 4 because the Vitello was a bit too fatty, and 3 out of 6 of us ordered it. But all of our other main courses fab! Also the service at this restaurant is impeccable plus ambience is great.

  • 5/5 Katia T. 2 years ago on Google
    Erice is a magical place and this restaurant is part of the incredible experience you will find here. Everything we ordered was perfect, from startes to deserts, drinks and service. Staff very friendly and helpful. Exceptionally hosted by Khalil, who gave the best suggestions and guided us through an spectacular dinner!
