Giada - Ristorante - Pizzeria - Bar - Caffè — Restaurant in Palermo

In Palermo, you learn to love the service that you experience in London, NYC or Berlin.

I actually thought this place could become a regular. The fact that non-Italians don't always interpret the menus correctly, ok. For example, "pasta with lentils" was not the Sicilian version of Swabian spaetzle with lentils, but a soup.

I love soups, but it was still a surprise. Unfortunately, I didn't like the glass of Grillo at all: a very heavy Grillo for a light soup breakfast. There were hardly any guests. However, no one from the service asked me why I wasn't drinking the wine? I remarked on this at the till and the response was "you have to come and tell us" - yes, but it would be more elegant if the service staff were more attentive and asked me.

"You'll get another wine". I ask if it's still open now? Then I would like to drink and enjoy the wine I paid for? No answer. There are still three tables outside having lunch... ...so I leave at a loss.

It was "only" 7 euros. But you have to earn even that...

We fortunately visited Ristorante Giada on the last night of a 3 week trip in Sicily. We had a wonderful experience. I had Casarecce alla Norma which was the best version of Pasta alla Norma that I had in Sicily. And I tried it many places. My husband had a grilled steak which was cooked to perfection and hand cut fries. I had a small Sicilian salad which was delicious. We shared a bruschetta appetizer and a bottle of wine that Ivan recommended. My husband had a Limoncello after dinner. Total cost was 88€. Ivan was our host, waiter, a wealth of information on Sicily, and the son of the owner. He made a wonderful experience even better. We highly recommend Ristorante Giada. I wish we could have stayed longer...

It is a very nice bar with really good coffee. However, they advertise pasta and a few other things for lunch and dinner but they are not always available. For example, when I went it was around 1500 and i could get any pasta. In fact, I could only get pastries and granitas etc so keep that in mind if you...
