Ardigna

Ardigna is the main restaurant in the little village of Salemi, located on your way up the mountain, but do not let the location scare you off. The place is quite big but still reservation is recommended to make sure to get a table. The menu is typical Italian and waiters will guide you through the fresh dishes on offer. As in the Sicilian tradition dishes are abundant, so be prepared for a great meal! Strongly suggested is the mixed grill.

Dining

The typical Trapani cuisine, exactly as its monuments, mirrors the encounter between Italian and Arabic culture. Delicious seafood dishes can be enjoyed alongside pizza and pasta delicacies. The tuna, which is caught just off the coast between the city itself and one of its islands - Favignana - is superb, especially when served with local couscous. Sicilian meals tend to be abundant and more inexpensive than in many other areas of Italy, so that you can enjoy a good pizza or a seafood meal for just a few euros. You cannot miss to taste the characteristic Tumma, a curd cheese, and the Insalata Pantescha, a salade composed by tomatoes, onions, potatoes and wine. Restaurants open most lunchtimes and evenings, although the smaller ones usually are closed on Sunday and Monday. As in the rest of Italy, most restaurants ask for a cover charge (coperto) of around 1€ per person.
