Ristorante Antichi Sapori

We had a fantastic dinner at Antichi Sapori in Trapani.

We started with their scafood tasting plate (octopus, smoked
tuna and swordfish, squid and fish fried, sardine meatballs and , bruschette with Trapanese pesto).

As a main course we had the homemade pasta; mine with clams & zucchini; hers with Trapanese pesto which is made with fresh tomatoes & almonds.

To accompany our meal, one of my favorite Donnafugata wines, Vigna di Gabri.

The place was beautiful, the food amazing! The quantity of pasta was too much for me, but maybe is because we ate too much in the beginning, the entrance.
The wine excellent, the background music perfect! And in the end they offered a almond liquor with some biscuits. We love it!!!

Totally recommended!

Great lunch. Had fried seafood as a starter and shared two pasta dishes with my partner. 2 simple plates both very delicious.

Very tasty pasta, tried 4 different and all very good. Cassata for dessert was excellent. The place was quite loud and there was a karaoke next to it, so wasn’t easy to talk to each other. Personnel is very friendly!

A Gem in Trapani! Reservations highly recommended as people were turned away at the door. We had our stay make reservations for us. The restaurant crew were fantastic & friendly besides one server who clearly didn’t want to be there… Outdoor seating in the summer is classy, not with plastic furniture like old photos. Mind blowing seafood cous cous with the carafe of fish broth is a must try of course.We cold have shared it as a secondi each! Raw red prawns were creamy & flavorful along with the assorted fish antipasti. Sardine & fennel meatballs in tomato sauce were out of this world delicious. The grilled swordfish steak is flavorful perfection. Try the caponata or accompany with the swordfish. Sicilians blow you away by what they can do with eggplant! The seafood pasta was delicious. Chilled Grillo white wine to wash everything down on a warm evening. We dined twice but wish we did all three evenings… The portions are large in Italian terms. Don't forget the beautiful rustic bread to mop up the sauces! Complimentary almond wine shots & sesame biscuits for dessert. Perfetto! Grazie Mille!!!

Excellent and tasty food, prepared with regional recipes. Fish and other seafood super fresh and tasty. Pleasant atmosphere, sitting under the trees and the pleasant bustle of the Sicilian street.

TL;DR: Fantastic Sicilian restauraunt that is a MUST TRY for Seafood lovers (I think most reviews skip over this point). Also, you should definitely book ahead of time if you are set on dining here.

This restauraunt hardly needs more positive reviews, but the food and service we experienced were excellent!

This is absolutely a seafood restaurant first and foremost, and if you want to try local cuisine/preparations, this is the place!

Highly recommend the mixed seafood platter which was probably the highlight despite the delicious mains, due to the variety of dishes and flavours that came on the plate(s).

We chose to pair our food with a bottle of local Sicilian orange wine - Aremi, which was absolutely delicious (on the drier side).

The service was fantastic from the moment we sat down, we were even provided two complimentary serves of the almond liqueur and biscuits to end the meal mentioned in many other reviews.

Would definitely return again and recommend to anyone visiting Trapani.

Great experience! ***** stars. We had bruscetta, swordfish with almonds/pistachios, patates, salad, Nero davola. Very delicious. Service is perfect! Reservation is recommended.

This restaurant is a must if you visit Trapani, and you are looking for the full experience.
Delicious local food, and good service. It’s not cheap, but it’s worth it.

Go here for the best seafood, don’t worry about anything else.

The food, what we have ordered, was good, but nothing special. I saw, that a lot of people have ordered seefood soups and couscous. Perhaps those are main dishes why people are comming here 🤔. It was very crowded and we had to wait an hour to get some starters 😳. This part was a bit disappointing.

Fantastic!! Great service, delicious authentic food, great environment. We were luck to arrive at 15:00 and still get the kitchen open! Loved my couscous with fish soup.

I don't think these guys need any more reviews, but I want to emphasize that the food is delicious, fresh and they have many options on the menu. The service is attentive and very good with recommendations more than trying to sell the most expensive wine or the most expensive dish, they take into account what the diners order to also make suggestions. The owner is a very charismatic person, he came over to see if we had any doubts with the menu and took our order to the point! And he recommended us a place to buy some of the ingredients they use in their recipes, because I was fascinated by their smoked tuna. Just try it!

Great crudo of red shrimps. Couscous is delicious, but beware it's a dish for two or even three people. In the soup there is a whole fish, another piece of fish, a squid, prawns, a variey of mussels.....So it's definitely too much for one, and I wish they would warn before taking the order. The broth is tasty, too.
Marsala as digestif is a nice gesture.

We waited too long for our Starter (Antipasto Mediterraneo) to be served. But the 3 dishes we ordered were of excellent quality, quantity, taste! Feels filling and light as well.

Really tasty, big portions for the price. Excellent service. The best place we ate in Trapani

It was literally the best pasta I had in my life

This was pasta with swordfish, shrimp, tomato and pistacchio

Nice atmosphere, very tasty food. Noodles with clams simply perfect. Moreover, the service was fantastic. I'd like to do it again. Best regards from Germany.

Nice atmosphere, excellent food, very friendly and helpful staff. The home made pistacchio tiramisu was sublime. Highly recommended. Fantastic experience.

Excellent fresh tuna and other delicacies, very good white wine (Grillo)
