Trattoria del Gallo — Restaurant in Palazzolo Acreide

I was looking for authentic Sicilian food made and served with passion and without fuss, and this is exactly what I found at Trattoria del Gallo. This place, in a nutshell, lets the magic of Italy happen all around you.

The antipasto board is a delightful collection of excellence.

The wild boar Ragu is utter perfection, served with house pasta that is creamy and perfectly shaped for the sauce - with an al dente texture that set a new standard.

I had never tried horse meat. I wasn't sure I wanted to. But there was something in the waiters' face that told me the time had come... and I was blown away. The thinly sliced sweet, beefy flavours were brought out by the addition of bitter notes of radicchio , and broadened with thin wedges of cheese (provolone picante ? I'm not sure).

The table wine was also a delight, with rustic notes that suggested preservative free oxidation - a taste I would previously have considered aged but enjoyed so much that it expanded my palate.

The staff were a perfect blend of friendly, helpful and professional. A completely memorable night, never to be forgotten! Thank you...

An excellent restaurant with truly authentic local food. Service was also amazing- our server was Eros and he was super helpful and very eager to recommend dishes and wine. We took the sparkling white wine and a rose. We had a lot of the antipasti including caponata, ricotta cheese, cold cuts and sliced cheese, pork sausages, minced goat and horse meat stew. Then we had aubergine ravioli and tartufo tagliatelle. Both were delicious. For dessert we had the tiramisu and sweet ricotta ravioli. They were delicious. My only complaint is that the espresso at the end of the meal was served in paper disposable cups. Otherwise a brilliant restaurant that i highly recommend. Would definitely...

Delicious food served by a welcoming, caring and passionate staff. We had a lovely dinner complete with antipasti-primi-segundi-dolce and a great wine to pair it with. Everything was fresh and seasonal (no menu, only a selection of dishes of the day - so you know it’s freshly prepared). Everything was cooked to the perfection!

Hands down the best family-owned restaurant we tested in the region. The staff even spoke French with us, which was definitely...
