Taverna del Carrettiere In Alcamo

08/08/2025: Elegant venue, top-notch food, and super friendly staff. I was really satisfied with the dinner, from appetizer to dessert.

30/07/2025: With arias floating on the air from the summer stage in the park across the street, hopes were high as we sat in the street section of the restaurant. Unfortunately the street seems to be a fairly major thoroughfare and the constant traffic noise drowned out most of the music. For the food, a good range of options for pastas, burgers, and if you have the wallet some fairly large cuts of beef. As tempting as the tomahawk was, at €90, I went with the very enjoyable tonnarelli - fat pasta strands similar to udon noodles in a light cheese sauce with a sprinkle of thick pieces of bacon. My dining companions had gnocchi, burger with egg, and the pulled pork burger. 2 orders of the chocolate brownies shared among us closed an enjoyable and tasty meal. Why only 3 stars for service and atmosphere? Those from the Mediterranean may be use to it but a 30 minute wait from ordering to receiving a meal does not sit well with us from higher latitudes, especially when the restaurant did not appear that busy. Atmosphere? Well the intrusive traffic noise blotting out the concert in the park is being a bit picky given it was the street seating and not something they can do much about. Otherwise go and enjoy, and if your feeling flush, one if the big steaks might tempt you. Gustare!
