Panineria Vigata In Porto empedocle

The sandwiches were rich and very tasty, and the pannelle were warm, crispy, and delicious! I had a fabulous pane cunzato! Mr. Salvatore, very friendly and helpful, really went out of his way to accommodate us. We sat outside in the shade of the umbrellas and had a great time: there was a nice breeze despite the hot sun. Highly recommended!

Lunch: I've never eaten such a delicious roll before, topped with juicy ham, fried onions, and vegetables (approx. €6.50). The chef is fantastic! But my husband, who didn't want a roll and asked for fried vegetables with sausage, was led to believe by the waitress that they did have a mixed grill with vegetables; she kept pointing to a "carne" dish for two, for €20. We agreed because there wasn't anything similar, but what we ended up with wasn't just a mixed grill for €20, but also a separate vegetable platter for two, for an additional €12. A lunch for €32 for one man while his wife eats a sandwich? That's usually the price you'd pay for dinner. ... The woman who served us, and who talked loudly on her phone through a speakerphone at the next table throughout our entire meal, couldn't possibly grasp that we could hardly possibly want a panini AND two meat and vegetable platters for just the two of us? Or perhaps she simply wanted to squeeze as much money as possible out of us tourists – €52 for the described meal, a glass of wine, and two coffees – because she figured we'd never come back? The latter is certainly true – we definitely won't be coming back! It's a shame, because the nice gentleman really did cook fantastically!
