Simpaty — Restaurant in Palermo

I never write anything negative about restaurateurs but this behavior at Michele Simpaty Mucera cannot go unnoticed. I have been at Simpaty's restaurant in Mondello before. I will preface this by saying that I am a customer of Antonio’s, their son, who has a wine shop in Via Partanna Mondello, a very polite guy and friend, he has known me my whole life, I will add that the waiters are fantastic and precise. I ordered a very simple dish of spaghetti with veracious clams that arrived very salty and the clams chewy. I took the dish back to the kitchen without making a fuss in front of everyone, asking if she could remake it.

The starters were excellent, amongst the best caponata I have tried to date. The real winner, however was the pasta, in particular the linguine a lastice.

Fresh and Visible Seafood, Quiet Sunday Evening, Only Issue is the Busy Road

I recently had the opportunity to dine at a seafood restaurant that caught my attention with its enticing display of fresh fish in a glass showcase. It was a pleasure to see the ingredients for my meal being presented so visibly, as it added an element of transparency and quality assurance to the dining experience.

Upon being seated, I decided to inquire about the weight of the fish I intended to order. The staff members were attentive and promptly provided me with the information I needed. However, the restaurant's location on a busy road posed a minor inconvenience. The noise from passing traffic occasionally disrupted the otherwise peaceful setting.

The revisited Sicilian cassata at this restaurant was...
