New Albatros

New Albatros on Favignana Island, serves Italian cuisine but what it is most known for is the drinks that complement its dishes. Whether you take a beer, which is served in a ceramic mug, or a cooling drink you will not get disappointed. A good idea is to come quite early if you would like a seat on their outdoor terrace. Perfect for an aperitif with friends.

Dining

The typical Trapani cuisine, exactly as its monuments, mirrors the encounter between Italian and Arabic culture. Delicious seafood dishes can be enjoyed alongside pizza and pasta delicacies. The tuna, which is caught just off the coast between the city itself and one of its islands - Favignana - is superb, especially when served with local couscous. Sicilian meals tend to be abundant and more inexpensive than in many other areas of Italy, so that you can enjoy a good pizza or a seafood meal for just a few euros. You cannot miss to taste the characteristic Tumma, a curd cheese, and the Insalata Pantescha, a salade composed by tomatoes, onions, potatoes and wine. Restaurants open most lunchtimes and evenings, although the smaller ones usually are closed on Sunday and Monday. As in the rest of Italy, most restaurants ask for a cover charge (coperto) of around 1€ per person.
