Trattoria Al Faro In

First of all, the food was truly excellent. We went to this restaurant because it was the only one with convenient parking and enough room for a somewhat extra-large car. Regarding the dishes: Appetizer with white shrimp (or pink shrimp from Sciacca) We ordered spaghetti with sea urchins and busiate with shrimp Negative notes: The appetizer never arrived. I was asked if it was a problem to have it after the main courses. After finishing my meal, when it was time to pay, I was asked if I still wanted it... Also another negative note: Despite the availability of a corner table set for three, when we asked to sit there, we were refused with a curt: "No, that's a table for three." The disappointment came shortly afterward when, despite the presence of other free tables for two, a young couple (so two, like us) were seated at the very table that had been denied to us. Beyond the seating arrangement, there was a complete lack of customer service. A little communication (e.g., "The table is reserved") would have been enough to transform a categorical refusal into an organizational necessity. Seeing others treated the same way we were denied by "regulations" demonstrates a lack of professionalism and a lack of attention to the guest. Fortunately, the experience was completely turned around by the owner, who was very good at treating the customer and consequently saved the restaurant's reputation (at least in my opinion). Final verdict: excellent restaurant, staff/organization needs revising. I don't feel like penalizing the restaurant itself with fewer stars.

Excellent trattoria with a seafood menu. Simple and authentic cuisine. Recommended.

Amazing restaurant here in Sciacca,Porto….The food is on another level, and the service is perfect. I would highly recommend to eat here!

A trattoria very close to the port, the fish is absolutely fresh, the portions are generous and cooked with love, and the wait time is short. The service, the food, and the staff are absolutely impeccable. If you're in the area, stop by. It's a safe bet and you'll be satisfied.

We had lunch at this restaurant today; the setting is pleasant and modern! We ordered the mixed fish fritto, which was decent. The grilled vegetables were delicious! To finish, we had a lemon sorbet, which was excellent! It's a good place. The service is efficient and discreet, although the waiters aren't overly smiley. The owner is very friendly! Well done to the whole team!

We happened upon it by chance and were pleasantly surprised by the atmosphere, the service and the food.

Historic restaurant with an open kitchen, proper portions and excellent quality.

I can sum it all up in three words: "Local Fresh Fish" and everything on display... not to mention the welcoming service from the dining room staff and the friendliness of the owner, which are the jewel in the crown of the "Il Faro" restaurant... "Being in Sciacca and not going there is a sin!!!!"

An extraordinary restaurant where everything runs perfectly. Everything is made with the freshest seafood. A vast selection of wines. The wait is a bit long. The atmosphere is typical of an old trattoria.

I can say I ate well, quality food!! Amazing red prawns and generous portions, ending with a sorbet and an A+ cannoli. The price was very reasonable for the location and quality. If I return to Sciacca, I'll definitely stop at Il Faro.
