We found out this restaurant thanks to a Groupon voucher we purchased months ago while planning our trip to Sicily. At that time we weren't sure about the place to visit, the itinerary and anything else. So we used the Groupon excuse to define at least some particulars of our daily routine at which unlikely we would have given up. Well, trust me if I say this was the best place my family and I have eaten during our 2015 spring break. Not only the menu and the portion were not Groupon-like - they were just enormous - but the service and presentation of the dishes were astonishing and comparable to a five-stars hotel. At the time we entered the restaurant - which later resulted to be also a small hotel - our skepticism was quite high. This place is far away from any town centre, in the inland. Thus without considering they didn't receive our booking made via that site that Groupon Italy obstinately want customers to use. However, something I learnt over time is to not trust the appearances and follow my gastro-sixth-sense. And I was right! Our expectations suddenly changed direction at the time we were told about the menu. An interesting list of typical Sicilian dishes that surprised us at every bite, accompanied by a chalice of Grillo. I took several pictures, but none of them will ever tell you how good those dishes were. Anyway, if you want to look at them, just look for my profile on Instagram. We left the place two hours after, fully satisfied. The chef freshly cooked our meal (it couldn't be pre-ready as our reservation was not there), and we had been given the right amount of time to eat. Every time something reached our table, the dishes were fully illustrated. And every time an empty dish was leaving the table we was asked about our appreciation. What else can I say? I think it's worth mentioning the proximity of this place to the Bingi airport (Trapani). Considering we would like to come back again to both Sicily and Rocche Draele, I will check for their availability when I will plan my next visit to Sicily.
