In one of the narrow streets near Alcamo Castle, you'll find Foresteria San Giacomo.
The staff welcomed us impeccably, even though we arrived late for our reservation.
Giacomo, the waiter who served us in the dining room, is very good at explaining the dishes on and off the menu.
My partner and I wondered why the place was called that, and he was brilliant at reconstructing the history of the place (no spoilers, just ask them).
Delicious dishes, flavors of authentic Sicily, far from touristy influences.
Special mention goes to the tuna "vraciuluni" (I hope I spelled that correctly), the tagliatelle with octopus ragù, and the ravioli alla norma.
I'm not attaching photos because we practically devoured them.
Thanks to all the staff and Alessio, the owner.

Great place, very welcoming and helpful staff. Excellent food! We were a table of 8, each with a different dish, and we had a great time. Excellent value for money.

A restaurant with high-quality food. We had a sfincione appetizer, followed by truly excellent grilled octopus. Perhaps I would have used fewer chips, but only to further enhance the octopus and the truly excellent chickpea cream!
The dessert was a winner, too!
A glass of Marsala and a slice of amazing peach cake.
