Trattoria Garibaldi — Restaurant in Marsala

Would AVOID - less than mediocre experience. Over 50% of the menu was unavailable (due to not being “in season) including the items the waiter himself recommended. My husband wanted the red mullet which was not available, the waiter recommended the fritto misto instead as it was the restaurant’s speciality which was anaemic (see picture) when it arrived and clearly frozen.

An excellent experience that made us feel at home, and part of the family. Thank you and we...

They didn’t offer to bring anything else to replace it or anything. service generally very, very slow, not attentive, chaotic bruschetta were nice but overpriced for 3 pieces the Marsala escalope was very bland, unappetizing plating, sides were very very average we asked for a wine menu, they never came to ask if we wanted to order any a bit of a scam in terms of the food, the...
