Caffe San Giuliano

Read this whole review.

My family and I LOVED this place! Best hot chocolate I’ve ever had, thick, creamy with fresh whipped cream on top.

Honestly the vibe was amazing, the owners were so welcoming, and the food was delicious. It was a slow roll- I usually prefer a more minimalist place but while we were there our meal unfolded as perhaps our most enjoyable meal in Italy. Just comfortable and good.

It’s hard to explain - my family loved it (a family who eats everything and enjoys good food everywhere) and my 11 year-old wrote the first paragraph about hot chocolate. I happen to agree with her. When we left Erice we walked by the streets of average sandwich shops and we were so grateful we made the right choice.

Excellent little place, like a hidden gem was welcomed at the door by the owner and seated promptly, himself and his wife both very pleasant the decor was in keeping with the feel of the area , the service was fast and the array of local produce and keep sakes was incredible.
Loved this little find.

this place is absolutely gorgeous.

best soups i had in a long while. biiiig pots which are a full meal.
the best café de pistacchio i remember with actual pistacchio crumbs.

visit:
* if you like italianità
* if you like homecooked specialities de la nonna
* if you like handpicked specialities by foodies like their wines and oils
* if you like original italian owners and their charme
* if you search for an intimate, typical, original place
* if you like value & quality for money food

don't visit
* if 4 euro for a gorgeous pistacchio coffee are too much for you (the regular one is as cheap as everywhere in italy)
* if you don't like personal attention & recommendations by the owners
* if you have covid hysteria - it's a small hospitable place

Ideal for a snack or breakfast 🍳 try their arancini, good selection of Modica chocolate 🍫

Amazing little authentic cafe/wine bar. We didn't eat food here, but had a wonderful pistachio coffee and nero d'avlo wine here.
Wonderful service, and I love that the owners work there.

We loved the ambiance, the great food, the friendly owners and everything else. A bit off the beaten path in Erice but well worth the short walk. We would definitely return!

Lovely place you should definitely visit!! You can find a wide choice of amazing traditional food and wonderful hospitality in a very precious location! The owner told us about historical and culinary traditions of Erice too

Best place in Erice. I look for value wherever I go with inflation driving prices up. This place has great atmosphere, food, and drinks, all for the best prices in town. The service is also perfect. Attentive but not to much so. Glass of wine for 6€. Focaccia for 5€.

Authentic Sicilian food with amazing owners and best pistachio café... Love this place

The best place in Erice. Lovely owner and his assistant. Very good food and coffee but the best are Mister San Giuliano's witty jokes 😍. Don't worry about prices because atmosphere is magical. Thank you for the best time we've spent there Salvatore Proffesore ☺.

We went here for lunch with our baby son. The owners were super friendly and absolutely welcoming. We had a Bruschettone Erice and the Couscous with Vegetables. Both were very nice and the portion size was definitely ok for the price. After the meal I ordered an Espresso, which I then upgraded to the speciality Espresso with Pistachios, something I never had before. Turns out it's a great combination.

Would definitely go again if I were looking for a light lunch, a friendly atmosphere, and a cozy cafe/bar.

The best bar/cafe that I have ever been to. I went in to buy a bottle of water, ended up staying for a speciality pistachio coffee and granita, buying some local pasta and olive oil. It is family run and very friendly.

Amazing place. The canoli and coffee are absolutely delicious and definitely recommend everyone to try them. The place has a lovely and cozy atmosphere as a family diner. The staff were incredibly nice.

Friendly service in an unassuming location. Local products used to prepare great food. Hidden gem!

Fantastic place! Incredible atmosphere! Beautiful food, tasty and very well severed. The caffe is run by real Italians. They are really nice. Prices are adequate to the location.

A simple and uncompromising restaurant, we found it just as the mist was coming in and other places were closing. Greeted with a warm welcome by the owners. The food is simple but delicious, we had a lovely evening.

Awesome place, best Cafe di Pistachio we have ever had - actually Dina’s own original coffee!! 🙏 the original Canolo is also unreal and huge! Probably the best spot in the village! Grazie!

Grate place, very friendly staff and owners. Also you can eat there Good food, not many types but all good quality.
Good place for cup of coffee / Glas of wine or lunch.

We were here on a quiet October weekday. Being the only customers we enjoyed nice food (recommend the bruschetta and the antipasti) and excellent service.

Lovely place across the road from the post office. Great service and a clean toilet!
