Camelot - CASTELVETRANO

Hard to find. Had to be escorted by a local. Even if it looks closed pull into the parking lot, down a bit, and knock on door. Tried to make reservation, but no one answered phone. Was welcomed. No menus. 9 varied appetizers: delicious. We chose risotto for next course. Everything was prepared well. Good service. Chef owned. Friendly atmosphere. Try it, if you can find it!

It was a surprise find this beautiful restaurant tucked away in the middle of the countryside. Although the weather was cold and rainy, we felt warm and cosy the moment we walked in. The staff was very welcoming and helpful providing an overall excellent service. Once the food started to arrive it was full bliss. Each course was a modern spin on sicilian classic dishes. Each was very tasty and well presented; the flavours were delicate yet uncompromising of the sicilian tradition for bold or stronger bites. A must try is the seafood risotto with ground toasted almonds. One word can sum it up: delizioso!

Myself and three family members were taking a driving tour around the western third of Sicily. Castelvetrano is the birthplace of my paternal grandfather. This was our first time in the town. We were looking for a store that sold the olive oil of the region. We needed directions so we approached police officers. During the conversation we asked them if they could recommend a place to eat. They kindly led us to Ristorante Camelot. We had a fabulous meal in a beautiful dining room. They brought out generous amounts of appetizers before the entrees. The main dishes were excellent. The restaurant is a little bit out of town on an agriturismo. We were thrilled at our good luck to have been led to such a good restaurant. The staff was so engaging as we told them this was our first visit to the home of our grandfather. We enjoyed visiting with them very much. A memorable experience.
