Garraffo - PALERMO

Very poor service, we had to wait for a very long time, the drunk waiter forgot our order. The food is not tasty, the squid and octopus are rubbery, the pasta is not cooked. We did not expect such a poor restaurant in the capital, after traveling all over Sicily. Only the environment and place was good.

The best pasta with sarde and finocchietto ever. The Sicilian lasagne were perfect, as the paccheri with meatball. A special thanks to all the staff

Very disappointing food experience. We ordered some seafood pasta and grilled calamari. The pasta was just ok but the calamari was way over cooked and as chewy as rubber. I just had 2 bites of the calamari told the restaurant manager about it and got a very generous 3 euro reduction on the bill. lol To make up for the disappointing meal experience the manager offered to give us some limoncello. After 15 minutes we never got it and just decided to leave. There are so many nice restaurants in Palermo, don’t waste your time or money going there.

Our apartment was less than 100 metres from GARRAFFO.Nestled between Ficus Trees the ambient lights above and on the tables set the scene for a good night.The food was exceptional particularly the Sicilian take o Spaghetti Carbonara and fresh tiramisu were the highlights.The Grillo wine was excellent and great value and quality for 13%.The service was very pleasant and attentive.The star was the chef who cooked and plated from an open kitchen.

A lovely restaurant in a charming piazza with loads of ambience. A small pasta, seafood (and accompaniments) menu, but our 4 dishes were all lovely and the service was engaging and came with a genuine smile. Don’t walk past!
