Il Rifugio Di Enea In Erice

A unique experience in Erice, a very characteristic place and high-quality dishes, the owner was very kind and also told me the secrets of cooking couscous which I found very informative, I will gladly return.

Refinement and delicacies in a unique setting. The perfect ending to a unique holiday in beautiful Sicily.

Very friendly staff Carefully prepared dishes and excellent products

The place is well-decorated and well-maintained. The food is terrible, and the prices are high for what they offer. The bread served was stale, and the croutons were soggy. The pasta alla trapanese (which should really be the staple) was all tomato peels and overcooked. (A bottle of purified water was €3.)

Erice is magical, but it's the restaurant that makes the difference. Great dishes, showcasing professionalism and experience in the kitchen. My busiata (I think that's what it's called) with shrimp was tasty and plentiful. The staff is knowledgeable and friendly. See you next time!!!

My newlywed Giulia and I, an Italian couple living in Sydney, stopped at this restaurant on the recommendation of a Sydney friend. It's a small, intimate restaurant, where the food was excellent and the hospitality was unparalleled. Nino, the owner, was extremely kind and welcoming. The pastry section is also mouth-watering.

Very nice place, with tables both indoors in a quaint dining room and outdoors on a terrace along the main street (pedestrian area). They welcomed our little dog with affection. Friendly staff, excellent service, reasonable wait times, and reasonable prices for the quality of the product. We ordered tonnarelli with sardines and an entrecote. The portions were generous, perfectly cooked, and tasted refined. Very interesting selection of local wines. Recommended place.

Our experience at this restaurant proved to be decidedly high-quality, both for the attention to the raw ingredients and the care with which each dish was conceived and presented. The refined yet formal atmosphere immediately creates the ideal setting for enjoying cuisine that strives for quality and sophistication. We began with two appetizers, both characterized by a remarkable harmony of flavors and elegant plating. The portions, contrary to what is often the case at high-end establishments, were generous and allowed us to fully appreciate every aspect of the preparation. The two first courses met our expectations: excellent pasta, impeccably cooked, and balanced toppings, capable of enhancing the quality ingredients without ever being overbearing. A meticulous gastronomic research is clearly evident, one that goes beyond surprising with unusual pairings to rest on solid technique and a respect for taste. Overall, the value for money seems more than adequate: the culinary offerings are sophisticated, the portions don't leave the impression of being too small, and the overall experience is worthy of the price range. I would recommend this place without hesitation to anyone seeking a high-end dinner, where refinement meets substance and each course leaves the feeling of a well-crafted gastronomic journey. The only flaw is the overly generous pasta portions.

The food was delicious!! We even personally complimented the chef and his staff. It's a shame we have to return to Rome, otherwise it would have been our culinary go-to.

La cuisine est bonne et le service est très convenable, mais attention à l’addition. Avant de commander, on nous apporte quatre amuses bouches sans que l’on est demandé quoi que ce soit, ça sera facturé 3€/pièce, la carafe d’eau du robinet est facturé 3€. C’est dommage que je retienne que ces points négatifs.
