Trattoria La Porta del Re all' Al-Qantarah

Amazing restaurant right near the Alcantara Gorges body rafting! We stopped here afterward (arranged by our tour operator), and had a wonderful lunch. I only got photos of the antipasti and the dessert (wonderful cannolis, which we took to go). The delicious pastas were devoured quickly by our kids before I could take a photo. The owner is very nice, and the food is served with love. Don’t miss it - we almost skipped it to head back to our cruise ship early, but I’m glad we decided to stop quickly to eat.

The best Norma & Pomodoro & Raviolli and Riccotta pasta’s made with Love and super delicious taste. Traditional and beautiful couple, he serves the tables and she cooks I think. But with Love 🥰our Twins shared a Pomodoro pasta and we loved ours and will never forget it. Ended with the house canoli with riccotta and that was another delicious 😋 end to our meal. The gentleman gave us a beautiful glass as gift. Till the next time.

We had wonderful lunch in this cozy restaurant. Home made pasta was wonderful and cannolis too. Lovely service too. Highly recommended.

Fabulous fresh pasta, salad, huge cheese plate starter, homemade ice-cream tart. All very tasty and good prices. Grazie!

I recently had the pleasure of dining at a beautiful scenic restaurant in Sicily, and it was an unforgettable experience. The location alone is stunning, offering breathtaking views that perfectly complement the ambiance.

From the moment we arrived, the staff were incredibly kind and hospitable, making us feel right at home. Their warm and attentive service truly enhanced our dining experience.

The highlight of the meal was the homemade pasta. It was cooked to perfection, with a rich and flavorful sauce that left us craving more. The fresh salad was equally impressive, featuring an array of wonderful vegetables that tasted as if they had just been picked from a garden.

To top it all off, the restaurant offered great value. The quality of the food and the level of service far exceeded our expectations for the price. If you’re looking for an authentic Sicilian dining experience, this restaurant is an absolute must-visit.

This place is a gem! Great local food. We had the mix of salumi (cold cuts), mix of cheeses, and the mix of vegetables. All thee delicious!! Great prices and fantastic service. I would very strongly recommend this place if you are in the area to explore the Gole dell’Alcantara. Do not miss it!!

Very atmospheric and clean place with a history of music. The food is the best we ate in Sicily- very fresh and tasty meat, vegetables and sausages on the grill. The salad is very fresh and good. Even our picky son asked to buy grilled sausage to go to eat it for a dinner. 😂 The service from the owner (speaking Italian, German, English) was friendly as well. I would say it’s a honest place. And the food costs every cent and even more.

We ate here after visiting the gorges. The restaurant is across the street. The food was amazing and the staff which I believe are the owners were so kind to us. They accommodated meals for our children and were just overall kind. A beautiful traditional spot.

The best Italian food we have had all trip!! We discovered this restaurant after hiking the Gorge right next door and were pleasantly surprised with how good the pasta was!! There is the sweetest older gentleman who made our day as our server(:

Very nice restaurant right next to gole Alcantara. The food is tasty, price is fair and the service amazing. It was so good we've been there two times in a row :)

Had a wonderful time! Stopped here after visiting the Alcantara Gorge across the street. Staff is so welcoming and friendly, lovely ambiance with lots of outdoor seating, shade and plants. Had an aperol spritz, we shared an aperitivo, and I had the pistacchio ricotta ravioli which was delicious! Even quite literally topped off with cherries provided after our meal :)

The food was amazing!!! And the service suuuuupeer friendly. The restaurant has an amazing countryside vibe :)

The food and especially the pasta was very delicious. The personnel were friendly!

excellent place to eat the staff very kind especially Mr. Saro was really helpful and kind!

Great service, and the food was really good. Typical countryside Bierstube environment. Nice conversation with the owner around the story of music, while listening to it. Kids and adults alike rated the experience with 5 stars :)

Very very good food simple and tastefull in the best Way

Ravioli ricotta - amazing 😀 they have a small menu ,with simple tasty and amazing food . I love the music and the vibe . Much better the I could expect.

Simple and very tasty food. Very recommended.

Great little gem of a restaurant right by the gorge!

We weren't expecting much given that it is right outside a main tourist attraction, but we were pleasantly surprised! Friendly staff, great ambiance, and really nice food.

This place is a hidden jewel! The meat is the top quality, the steak was very tender and juicy - the best I tried so far. Even a simple tomato salad was so tasty. I wonder wether tomatoes I buy in a shop are actually tomatoes... Everything, food, coffee, music, and Sicilian hospitality is great in this place. The menu is simple, but everything we tried was just perfect. Saro, the owner of the place, is a very interesting and kind man, who cares about every customer and clearly likes what he is doing.
If you are tired of overpriced tourist restaurants and want to try something real and authentic, this is the place to be. Don’t miss a walk at Gole dell Alcantara via public (€1.5) entrance just 100 meters away.
