Pasticceria Mokador F.lli Sclafani In Palermo

06/04/2024: I had lunch here because it was pretty much touted online for the food and the service. Maybe it is better at night. The pomadoro and burrata started was very good. It was a share thank goodness because the portion was large. The pasta I had was Pasta Norma which I ordered based on a previous review of how much eggplant was on it. Well, I had 4 eggplant skins and a sauce that tasted like it came right off the shelf. It was tasteless and very disappointing. This is a regional dish. Go figure. My partner had the pasta with boar ragu. He chose a different shape pasta after asking if there were options but basically got fetticini. His food was not that hot and was average. Funny taste so hoping it was the spices. I would not recomment this place based on our experience and I am sad that I wasted the calories. The service was not very attentive and we had to ask for our wine twice but to be fair, I only noticed one server and one helper from the kitchen so covering 8-10 tables might be a lot but still.

28/03/2024: An eclectic place, on a street with a bohemian vibe. Staff was truly amazing, spirited and on top of keeping things moving. They made us feel welcomed and made nice wine recommendations to go with our food. Good outdoor seating, depending on the weather. Our food was excellent, fresh and incorporated the bounty of sea and land found in the beautiful Palermo location. This is not your typical cookie cutter Sicilian restaurant.
