If you are heading to Salemi, Trapani, Italy (where I currently live), here is where you will want to go for the best food and drinks from the locals.
Map
While Italian food is delish, sometimes, as an American expat, I'm just looking for a good burger. If you are too, head here!
American bbq Fusion
Located next to the castle in Salemi, head here for reasonably priced drinks and an amazing view!
Kuddura
Excellent pasta and seafood, hometown Italian hospitality - great for occasions or just a casual dinner
La Giummara
We have a community pizza party every Wednesday night and it's always from here. So delish with great local toppings such as artichokes and local veggies
Jolly Pizza
The best local coffee shop hands down but they also have an array of quick bites to eat and great cocktails in the eveings
Tazze Pazze
Another great pizza and burger place in Salemi. Be careful - you get a lot of tasty food for very little money!
Burger House
Another great pizzaria and dinner stop in Salemi, near the castle. Recently renovated and resorted, great atmosphere and if you are lucky enough to be here in the summer, check out their homemade gelato
Palazzo Monroy
I usually head here for a quick lunch as they make great panini's but they are really known for the incredible homemade pastries that sometimes look too good to eat!
Bar Edera
If you are headed to the lido (beach) check out Zanzibar - located in Castellammare del Golfo, here you will find a full service restaurant as well as quick bits to take with you on the beach
LIDO ZANZIBAR RISTORANTE, Castellammare del Golfo - Tripadvisor
As we are so close to the sea, seafood in Sicily is always super fresh. If you are a fan of sushi, head here to get your fix
I was here for the first time the other night and I can't wait to take my family here when they come to visit. Very local, farm to table, incredible food and homemade wine. Try their antipasta - while 18 euros per person, you get to try 18(!!!) different apps per person - incredible!!
Ristorante Ardigna
Very local but popular among the younger crowd, head here for a spritz if you are coming thru Salemi
U Tocco - Sicilian Bistrot
While many people come here for events, this place is just on the outside of Salemi proper and at night is the most goregous location you have ever seen in the Sicilan countryside - plus the food has rave reviews!
Baglio Borgesati
While it may not look like much from the outside, this place has the best desserts in town!
D'Agostino Giuseppe Pasticceria
There is so much agriculture happening in Sicily, it's no surprise to find a number of farm to table restaurants and this is one that's highly recommended from people coming thru town
Al Ciliegio
Really delish Pizzaria if you are in Salemi - be warned, the portions are huge!!!
Eclisse
Phenomenal new restaurant with modern spins on classic Sicilian cuisine! I highly recommend!!
Great seaside restaurant 30 minutes from Salemi. Many different seafood dishes, affordable prices and right on the beach!
RISTORANE PIZZERIA PIERROT, Marinella di Selinunte
If you are looking for affordable local eats, head here!
