Bordeaux Food Adventure | Italian Gem: Palatino 🍕🇮🇹✨

**Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️** Google’s 4.8-star *hidden treasure*—this place oozes Italian vibes with chic decor! Specializing in **wood-fired pizzas & pastas**, we ordered 3 mains + 3 desserts. 💶 **Avg. spend: €25** 🍲 **Mains**: 1️⃣ **Pasta allo scoglio** (Mussels/seafood pasta, €18) ⚠️ *Personal skip*: Fresh mussels, but the *sea-essence* was too intense for me. Not for seafood-newbies! 🦪🍝🌊 2️⃣ **Tagliata di manzo** (Grilled beef, €21) ✅ **Must-try!** - Beef: 7/10 (best *hot*—cold = chewy tragedy). - **Star**: CRISPY smashed potatoes (golden, buttery crackle!). 🥩🥔💥 3️⃣ **Hotline Pizza** (€15) ✅ **Love!** - *30cm giant*—share if you’re petite! Topped with tomato sauce, Italian sausage, and melty mozzarella. 🍕🔥🧀 4️⃣ **Spiedini di polpo** (Grilled octopus skewers, €21) ✅ **Winner!** - Tender, *perfectly salted*—squeeze lemon to elevate! (Again: those *god-tier potatoes* steal the show.) 🐙🍋✨ 🍮 **Desserts**: **Tiramisu (€8)** ✅ **HEAVEN!** NOT cloyingly sweet! Creamy mascarpone, bold coffee-kissed layers, and *cocoa powder that melts like silk*. Best. Ever. ☕️🍫💖 💬 **Verdict**: - *Perfect for foodies* (not chatty dates—music’s LOUD!). - *Avoid seafood pasta*; everything else = *chef’s kiss*. 👌🎶 #BordeauxEats #ItalianInFrance #FoodieFinds
