Trattoria Antica Giarra - PALERMO

I really don't know what is going on with this restaurant after reading all the wonderful reviews along we went. No one else eating in the restaurant and no one else came whilst we were there for the one hour and half, we ordered some wine to drink and a serve of caponata, both came all good and we said we will order our mains when we finish the caponata, by the way it was quite nice! Then we decided what we would order and were told neither of the options were available, on a menu of about 50 items there were only 6 available, sausage and broccoli spagetti and veal spagetti were what we chose, tasteless so asked for some cheese to put on to give some flavour, you had to get a magnifying glass to find the meat in the spagetti and god knows where the broccoli was could not see any. We were so looking forward to our meal and to get this, I could not recommend! No one came near us or asked how the meal was but I think they got the drift we were not impressed.

Place run by the family, you can see many locals there which means the place is authentic and good. The food was simple&great. Bruschetta is something you need to try there. Good value for money.

Cibo tradizionale ambiente familiare e tranquillo, porzioni abbondanti

Trattoria tradizionale a conduzione familiare per scoprire i sapori autentici della cucina Palermo. Consiglio vivamente.

Partiamo dal prezzo: antipasto diviso in due, due primi (super abbondanti), acqua, due calici di vino (abbondanti), amaro. 15 euro a testa! La qualità del cibo è semplicemente eccezionale, dalla caponata alla pasta sarde e finocchietto. Luogo affascinante ma molto rustico, non si bada molto a fronzoli, non certo location per chi cerca la raffinatezza. Ho amato tantissimo tutto. Tornerò sicuramente e lo consiglierò. Cucina e prezzi fantastici.
