Many people pass by Trapani simply to reach Aegadian Islands, but in term of history and culture the town has a lot to offer!
I recommend taking a walk along the narrow streets and discovering hidden gems and of course, trying some delicious food!
Breakfast
Don't you wanna start your day with a delicious coffee and "cornetto"?☕🥐
The problem in Sicily is that there are so many pastries to choose from, that you will get disoriented once inside a "Pasticceria" or Bar.
If you like a salty breakfast, in all the listed below places you can find everything you need to enjoy your meal (sandwiches, toasts, pizzette, and more).
K2 L'arte del gusto
@cathoofattori
Wide selection of typical Sicilian pastries and gelato.
Try Dolce Mela, treccia with sugar, ciambelle or "delizia al limone" and then why not a Cornetto?
VEGAN options available
You can have also lunch or snack here, just choose from their menu your meal!!
Details
Bar Incontro
@cathoofattori
I visited mainly for arancine because there are so many of them.
You need to try as much you can!!
Details
Pasticceria Spalti Di Sansica Benvenuto & C. S.N.C.
@cathoofattori
From breakfast to panini and more you can have here.
The best fried "calzone" in Trapani in my opinion, also the "arancine" are spectacular.
Details
"Tavola calda", panini and snacks
Sicilian cuisine offers so many different choices for "Tavola calda" or street food.
Bakery Oddo Michiele
@cathoofattori
Absolutely try ARANCINA and MARGHERITA pizzetta: simply delicious!!
It was the first place in Trapani, where I got the "arancina", so like "the first love you won't forget", well here it happened again but for the food!! 😜😜
You can take your food and enjoy it just behind the shop at "Porta Delle botteghelle" or at "Mura di Tramontana"
Details
Braciami e Braciami
@cathoofattori
It's just behind the fish market, however you can think is not the best place to dine-in, you should give a try!
My tip, especially if it's summer, take a panini and enjoy it at the Lazzareto at sunset time!
Salad and fish plates are delicious too!!
Details

Antico forno Pollina dal 1893

A must try their "CABBUCIO". This is a typical panini from Trapani where the bread is very soft and is rolled out very thin, during cooking, it swells, remaining almost empty inside, ready to accommodate a lot of filling.
Details
PANIFICIO FORNO MARTINEZ - GRANI ANTICHI BIOLOGICI
@cathoofattori
"Senator cappelli" bread it's absolutely the best.
You can find here: pizza, cakes different kind of bread.

Details
FORNO IMPERO
@cathoofattori
Another option for Tavola calda, bread and sweet
Details
EMILIO BURGER
@cathoofattori
MCDONALD'S, should not exist in Sicily because of this kind of place.
The food is good!
From kebab, burgers, fries, salads...
Details
Lunch, Dinner and Pizza
The typical Trapanese dishes are cous cous and "pesto alla Trapanese".
Cous cous is a Arabic dish, since Sicily is the land of foreign influences, this dish represents the union of different cultures.
"Pesto alla Trapanese" normally with BUSIATE (typical Sicilian pasta) is made with simple ingredients: tomato, basil, garlic, grated pecorino, almonds, salt and pepper, and bound with olive oil...the result is outstanding!
Ristorante Antichi Sapori
@cathoofattori
At summertime important to reserve your table!
All the food is so delicious especially if accompanied by a glass of wine.
At the end of the meal, they offer "Marsala di Pantelleria" and a small sweet!
Details

Trapani is not a GRANITA city, I realized while tasting the granita here, that it's nice but nothing compares to Catania style!
