The Pilot, highly recommended.
Last night we came across a sign for an aperitif with a platter...we decided to follow the arrow leading above the passenger terminal of the maritime station....
We were welcomed by a refined restaurant and a terrace directly overlooking the sea, almost like the deck of a ship.
We took a seat and ordered an aperitif...we were amazed by the culinary experience they brought us.
We started with fries and a basket of crostini, and then...a wonderful, endless variety of fantastic products.
Balanced and rich Trapanese caponata, octopus salad, two sushi samples 🍣, swordfish meatballs with fennel, tuna carpaccio, Panelle...and what panelle!
In short, it was truly a wonderful surprise.
The chef conveyed all her passion and skill.
Sincere compliments to the entire staff.
That's all for now, but we'll be back for dinner to try your dishes, and I'm sure you'll amaze us.

Dishes ordered:
• Tuna meatballs
• Grilled tuna bites with soy sauce
• Busiate with Trapani pesto
• 3 coffees
The two appetizers went down like a slide, delicious
The first one took a while to arrive, but it was a delicacy
The restaurant is located in the passenger terminal of the port of Trapani, with a breathtaking view of the sea and the port.
Individual and well-spaced tables; there is a minibar service.
The chairs do not stop your blood so your legs do not fall asleep but since I am a person of average height, the tables are quite low.
Terrace with a view of the sea, port, islands ✓
The service is quite fast but the delivery of the dishes is a bit slow and ten minutes for 3 coffees is perhaps a bit too much, there are not many customers, but despite this it is a restaurant that deserves it for the food it has to offer, and that is not a small thing!

Enchanting location inside the Trapani Maritime Station, away from the usual tourist spots. Chef Vita will take you, like a "seasoned Pilot", on a unique taste journey into the world of "fresh" fish-based cuisine. Exquisite and unique appetizers (I couldn't count them but they seemed endless), gourmet first courses, for the risotto I can't find the right superlative to comment on it. Highly recommended!!!
P.S.: Only the bold get to the second course.

What you expect, booked with the fork but the prices are fair even without, directly on the sea, simple place in the furnishings.... but then you start to eat and surprise, everything is fantastic from the mussels, to the simply perfect seafood risotto, to continue with swordfish and finger-licking seafood parmigiana all accompanied by a good glass of Grillo bianco ... and finally grandma's limoncello offered by the house...... I can only advise you to come and eat here because otherwise you really miss out on something good....
