Baraonda - CASTELVETRANO

We stayed at this place after visiting the excavations of Selinunte. We took two fish appetizers and a fried in two seen the abundant portions. To close a fabulous tiramisu to the pistachio All great. Professional and attentive staff. Competitive price seen the quality and the wonderful view from the terrace. Recommended

A terrace on the sea with a beautiful summer atmosphere with live music, fresh fish and abundant portions. The dishes have perhaps a presentation too simple but on the other hand they are cooked at work and very good. I come back every summer and I never fail

Was dubious about coming here due to the reviews but I’m glad we ended up dining here. Four of us plus a toddler our bill came to €150 for starters mains desserts drinks very good value. I highly recommend the ‘Tagliata’ the Calamari and the Pacherri with prawns and pistachio. Waiters friendly and were accommodating to my 18month old. Lovely sea view and atmosphere

On my last night in Selinunte I fear I had my worst meal so far in this trip to Sicily. I had spotted this restaurant on my first night and it seemed really popular so I made a promise to myself to keep it for my last night. At the start I will say I may not have picked the best night to visit as there were celebrations in full swing for a 40th birthday, which I fully acknowledge is demanding for any restaurant. I had cocktail Di gamberi to start with, lots of shrimp but way too much sauce which totally overwhelmed the flavour of the fresh shrimp. For mains I had spaghetti alla carbonara, it was OK. With water and 50cl wine the bill came to €27 but I had to wait 20 minutes to attract the attention of the waiting staff for the bill. However the totally worst part for me was dogs are allowed in this restaurant yuck! That's OK for guide dogs but all dogs? As I was finishing my meal a couple arrived in with a dog who promptly defecated in the plant display in the middle of the restaurant beside me they were talking and didn't notice so made no attempt to clean it up. A little while later the same dog urinated in the same plant this time the owners noticed and did nothing. I felt really ill.

Arancini were frozen solid in centre. We asked that the second batch ordered be defrosted properly yet they were still ice cold in the middle. Despite this we were charged full price.
