Ristorante l'Arte del Gusto In Castelvetrano

The place is really cute; in the summer, tables are set up outside in a quaint courtyard, surrounded by greenery and lit by pretty strings of fairy lights. It's a real shame about the waitress's "welcome"; as soon as we were seated, she asked us all to choose the same dish "because we only have four burners." When I replied, citing our different needs (one person is vegetarian and the other doesn't eat fish), she replied with an annoyed expression, "Do as you wish, I warned you. Don't complain if you eat separately afterwards."... is this a restaurant or not? 🤣 We ordered two grilled fish and two identical first courses anyway, to make things easier for the kitchen; the other diners chose two other first courses (including vegetarian busiate pasta with basil cream) and a grilled meat. The other waiters were kind and professional, and the wait for our dishes wasn't long. The first courses are good and tasty, the grilled fish is lightly seared (the squid and shrimp are almost raw, so if you don't like it, let us know in advance). The prices are a little high compared to the local average.

On holiday in Selinunte, on our last evening we wanted to eat a good pizza and, trusting the reviews we read on Google, we booked a table for two. Very neat location, very kind staff, excellent pizza, fair prices... pleasant evening... I highly recommend it.

We were there on the eve of Ferragosto, a disappointing and misleading menu. Contrary to the advertised menu, we were given a sampling of dishes in one dish. The risotto was decent but not well seasoned, the busiate pasta was sparse, and the melon and pineapple slices resembled wafers. The location and the pleasant music deserve praise. Will we return? No, 40 euros is excessive.

Located in a highly sought-after tourist area, its entrance is via a narrow road lined first with olive trees and then, just beyond the entrance, with tall palm trees. It has ample parking and a welcoming, spacious setting. The interior is pleasant and well-organized. The staff is extremely kind and helpful, ready to accommodate any guest. We celebrated a birthday party for 12 people, and the menu, from appetizers to fruit, was completely satisfying for everyone. Highly recommended.
