Eating
Sciacca has an active fishing port which makes it an excellent place to eat fish and sea-
food. The best fish restaurants are down by the port.

( 092 52 53 49; Via Al Porto 25; set menu €17.50-25; Mon-Sat)
If the idea of budget seafood usu-
ally sets alarm bells ringing, think again. This welcoming portside trattoria is one of the
few places you can feast on delicious fresh fish and still get change from €20. What's
served depends on what the boats have brought in.
Tasty staples to look out for include
pasta con le sarde
(with sardines, fennel, bread-
crumbs and raisins) and grilled calamari.

Popular with local elderly folk, this restaurant
and pizzeria sits on the corner of Sciacca's lovely belvedere. It's a place with simple tradi-
tional dishes, such as pasta with tomatoes and seafood, good fresh fish and decent pizza.

sun goes down.
