Il peperoncino In Trapani

23/08/2024: Food was decent. We ordered the fish couscous and it was nice. I ordered the pasta with pesto trapanese and the pasta was raw. The shape was busiata, I was on my trip in Italy for 2 months, and I’ve eaten this shape lots of times. It had all the markings of being undercooked, it sticks to your teeth, it is white in the center. When I called the waiter, they had the audacity of saying “in Italy the pasta is not too cooked”, or “busiata can’t be too cooked”. What is this nonsense? Pasta shapes don’t contribute to the feeling of being undercooked. I know what all dente is. I make my own fresh pasta. I asked them to try it, but they refused, and said we can only get you spaghetti instead and not busiata. I said I would like busiata, but they were like no. They were so proud and arrogant and mumbling Italian to themselves in discontent I didn’t feel heard. I tried explaining that I know pasta and I make pasta myself, and that the center is white, indicating it is raw. But no, just arrogance from the staff. Moreover, portion sizes for the price are just ridiculous. Is the food tasty, yeah. Is it worth it? I probably won’t go there again. I would really love them to see this review to actually use the feedback and do something with it.
