Cantina Siciliana
( 0923 2 86 73;

; Via Giudecca 36; meals €20-30; lunch & dinner)
The reasonably
priced regional specialities here are enticing, as are the pretty blue-tiled front rooms. Ser-
vice can range from lacklustre to borderline rude, as owner Pino sometimes regales his
Italian friends to the exclusion of other guests. Still, it's one of Trapani's better-regarded
eateries and worth a visit if you're willing to focus on the food.
