Beautiful view on the valley. Loved it. We only had a drink, a nice Spritz. We didn't try the food. Service was nice and fast. Toilets were clean

Absolutely stunning view in this cafe with good outdoor seating options. Pistachio and mozzarella arancini was the best one we’ve had in Sicily, so fresh and flavorful! Drinks and coffee and granita were nice too.

While wandering in Erice, we found this cute little bar with a nice terrace and a beautiful view, really modern nonetheless. We wanted to have a drink so we decided for the Aperitivo con piatto (with a plate full of Sicilian local foods). We were not expecting that amount of food: there were arancine, bruschette, caponata (fried vegetables in tomato sauce), bread, local black pepper cheese, couscous, rice salad, panelle (fried chickpeas flour), seasoned olives, fried neonato (newborn fish typical food). All of this for just 6€ each. The cocktails were 1 pina colada and 1 Long Island iced tea, good and well made 7€each. Both the drinks and the food were very tasteful (I only didn’t like the rice salad, I think it was a bit acid). We were served at the table and the staff was approachable and friendly; we didn’t pay for service though (so I suggest to leave a tip if you enjoyed the experience). Personal advice: bring a jacket or a scarf, it gets surprisingly chilly up there with the strong wind. It might happen you meet new wedded couples with friends, taking pictures and celebrating in the Sicilian way

Coffee is good, but it's not speciality coffee. Nice view.
