La Tramontina In Palermo

19/11/2025: The jazz music and the gently lit room was relaxing and cozy. Our server deserves 5 stars, but the “som” was distracted, uninterested, and didn’t want to pair our courses. He then asked us if we wanted a glass of wine, or he could bring us a bottle. So I guess he doesn’t want to work. The food was okay, but there are so many great restaurants in the area we felt we’d wasted a meal. The Italians must know: we arrived to an empty dining room at 20:00, and were there for two hours, and fifteen minutes. Only one other table was seated: three men. (so it’s not like the “som” was too busy.) Here is the worst part: I used the bathroom right before we left. How long has it been since the toilet was cleaned? (And what about the kitchen?) There was a rime of you know what in the corners. (I should have realized how filthy the place was by the crud on the windowsill -inside- where we were seated.) I almost lost my dinner. No towels to dry your hands, and you could see a huge pile of tp that had been used for this purpose instead. (where did it all come from since they were only five guests in total and the three men never got up from the table?) Skip it.

26/10/2025: Food was mediocre. Sauce was not polished, garnish was not thoughtful.Wouldnt pay for the degustation menu. Even though ingredient use was fabulous. Not sure if all the fancying up actually did any good to the main ingredients.
