The Restaurant

The Restaurant in the Hotel Alceste is both elegant and welcoming, and offers traditional Sicilian cuisine prepared by the expert and passionate hands of our skilful chefs, who will excite your palate with traditional and elaborate dishes, making your stay at our hotel in the Province of Trapani unforgettable.

Two rooms are available: the Principale on the ground floor is furnished in a classic style, with seating for 180, while the Rustica can seat 70 and is decorated with antique farming utensils handed down over the generations.

Our traditional Sicilian cuisine will sweep you away with its intensity and rich variety of specialities and flavours, garnered from centuries of seafaring and farming tradition.

In fact, Sicily has a particularly concentrated culinary style, “low in fat but high in flavour”, using simple and genuine ingredients such as vegetables and local cheeses (from pecorino to fresh ricotta, artichokes and aubergines) together with fish from the sea, like swordfish, tuna, sea bass, lobsters, crustaceans and above all the "famous" Selinunte sardines.

The dishes are enriched with fantasy, scents and colours that are brought out with the use of sugar, vinegar, currants and pine nuts, fennel and sesame seeds, dill and the unmistakable Extra Virgin Olive Oil “Nocellara del Belice" capable of enhancing even the most simple dish with its intense green colour, fruity aroma and light spicy flavour.

This oil has recently obtained the DOC (Registered Denomination of Origin) quality mark, the only quality mark currently recognised all over Europe. Furthermore, studies have shown the oil has exceptional organoleptic properties. 

Try the famous Castelvetrano black bread, with its sweet and strong flavour and its dark, toasted colour, produced by the mix of two types of flour (wheat flour and an ancient local variety known as "Tumminia" flour).

Taste our infinite variety of succulent pasta and rice dishes and main dishes with meat or fish, creating a pleasurable combination of food and relax for your seaside Sicilian holiday.

 The Alceste Restaurant is the ideal location for banquets, meetings and working breakfasts.
