On Erice's main cobblestone street, Carmelo Tilotta's restaurant offers superb views of passersby through large picture windows. But your eyes will be on the food, made with fresh local ingredients. The pasta all'ericina (pasta with basil, garlic, tomatoes, and almonds) is worth the trip. Tables spread onto the terrace in summer. There are also spacious and sometimes quirky rooms if you want to stay over ($$-$$$).
