Gli Archi di San Carlo In Erice

We had dinner with friends at this restaurant. The start of the meal went very well, with some delicious appetizers. Then, when a few people started arriving, we ran into some difficulties: the wine bucket took at least 15 minutes to arrive, the couscous va we ordered wasn't cooked very well, and the pasta with sea urchins could have been a little richer, in my opinion. Overall, however, it's a good restaurant, with plenty of choice and very friendly service. I recommend it.

I rarely write reviews, but here's a word to share. Right in the center of Trapani, I found courtesy, Sicilian hospitality, good food, and a very well-maintained venue. Congratulations, it was a pleasure.

Intimate and well-kept location, truly delicious and plentiful food. Excellent value for money.

Seven of us went before the mid-August holiday. The restaurant is very nice, well-maintained, and well-run, definitely a great choice for an elegant dinner in Trapani. The service is courteous and appropriate for the location. The food is good, and the ingredients are top-quality, but the final result was a bit below expectations. The pasta with sea urchins was definitely a no-no, the fish was good but not perfectly cooked, and the couscous was good, but you can find much better in the area. The pasta with zucchini pesto was very good. Excellent selection of local wines. The Erice ceramic plates are beautiful.

The service was friendly and attentive. The restaurant has a lovely atmosphere and a beautiful, welcoming space. Overall, a pleasant experience.

I dined with my family at the "Gli Archi" restaurant located at Via Serisso, 40 Trapani. The restaurant is very charming, tastefully and elegantly decorated. However, in my humble opinion, based on the reviews, expectations were disappointed by some details that, in my opinion, are important and make all the difference. We ordered two different appetizers: eggplant "alla beccafico" with sweet and sour tomatoes and fish caponata. The caponata was good, the eggplant was equally good, but the presentation was not appealing (see photo). The first course, paccheri with amberjack and toasted almonds, was good, with a nice presentation. The second course, fried calamari with caper mayonnaise... nothing to write home about, and the portions were small. The table staff isn't uniformed, but rather, they all wear different attire, and the plates were put down quickly so they could rush to another table and deliver another course. The two glasses of Grillo wine requested were served pre-filled, without being able to see the bottle label, and in tasting quantities... approximately 80 ml, when in fact the quantity should vary between 125-150 ml. In conclusion, in my humble opinion, I believe the restaurant has good potential, but to be considered high-quality, it needs to address a few important aspects.

Nice restaurant in the center of Trapani, but the food wasn't impressive in terms of quantity or quality.

The atmosphere is refined, the service excellent, and the staff are friendly. They described the fish to us as being of a certain type, even though we opted for the first courses. Our friends thought the busiate were good. My pacchero with cheese and black pig pancetta was good in flavor and cooking, but it was hard to digest. The risotto with scampi and sea urchins was too bitter, and I disliked it. Prices are quite high.

Nice food, great staff, thank You so much! 🙏🙏🙏 Yes - you will need a reservation!

We had a great dinner, service was super friendly and place was gorgeous with really nice silverware.
