Ai lumi

This is the ideal place to start your journey in the traditional Sicilian cuisine. Sit in one of the rustic benches or in a typical wicker chair and enjoy dishes made exclusively with the best genuine materials. Very recommended are the specialties of the house: couscous with fish and cassatelle with broth. Each dish can be accompanied by local wines chosen from the extensive list of the restaurant. If you are looking for an elegant and refined restaurant, Ai lumi will not disappoint you.

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.
