Scjabaca — Restaurant in Palermo

The restaurant's ambiance was nothing short of mesmerizing, with its tastefully curated decor and an intimate atmosphere that exuded both warmth and refinement. The attention to detail was evident in every aspect, from the meticulously arranged tables to the soft lighting that created an intimate and inviting environment.

Now, let's talk about the food. Oh, the food! Each dish that graced my table was a masterpiece in its own right. The menu boasted an exquisite blend of flavors and textures, showcasing the chef's profound expertise and artistry. It was evident that only the finest, freshest ingredients were used, as each bite exploded with a symphony of flavors that danced harmoniously on my palate.

The presentation of the dishes was equally breathtaking. Every plate was a work of art, carefully plated with precision and creativity. It was as if I were experiencing a culinary exhibition where every dish told its own unique story through its vibrant colors, intricate garnishes, and meticulous arrangement.

What truly set this restaurant apart, however, was the impeccable service. The staff members were consummate professionals who anticipated my every need and ensured that my dining experience surpassed all...

I really don't like writing bad reviews, I always try to ignore and forget the bad and only focus on positive. I actually never wrote a bad review but here it was SO TERRIBLE I had to. Ordered cod fish, waited for 45 min to get uncooked fish, cold inside. They prepared new one, waited another 20min for it, in the meanwhile another waitress comes and starts cleaning my table rushing me home not understanding English that I still have food coming. No bread or anything brought while waiting. Some other tables get breads with some spread before their main dishes arrive. I finally get the cod again, it's overcooked with no fish taste, the worst piece of fish I ever tasted, chewy, terrible cheap supermarket frozen unfrozen many times type of taste. Greens next to it chewy as bubblegum. And it was one of the most expensive plates in town since it's "fancy" restaurant. There are so many awesome places around Palermo with delicious fresh food very well prepared by chefs (who actually taste food before they give it to guests to make sure it's top quality). Don't go to this place, total waste of...

Food was good but service was terrible. We waited half an hour to order, asked for olive oil 4 times before it was actually given and by that point we’d just given up and eaten the bread. Also had to wait ages to get the bill, and after asking a few times, waited even longer at the counter to pay.

EDIT: I can’t formally reply to the owner so I’ll post here. 30 mins to order appears to be an overcall, but 19 mins to order isn’t something I’d boast about. I agree that the more experienced server was rapid with most requests but, by that point we’d already had waited so long. A smile is kind but when you’re repeated told to wait for another server but see other people being served by range of people, it’s hard to swallow. Additionally, I also try to have a smile and give people grace, but I left this review as I felt we were treated poorly. Still I’ll try to be more objective and change the...
