U Palangaru Ristorante In Portopalo di capo passero

Ok food, but overpriced. At least some items. 6 Euros for a small bowl of nothing but tomatoes? The chicken was really good though.

We ordered a takeout pizza for Inter's Champions League final against PSG. The restaurant was packed, and there were a river of customers rushing back to watch the second half of the match on the giant screen outside. After seven minutes, we left with our hot pizzas in hand, just in time to not miss a single minute of the game. The pizza and ingredients were excellent, like few other times, and the service and organization I wish we had in the north. Congratulations!

Excellent pizza and impeccable service

An impeccable gastronomic experience. The restaurant stands out for its welcoming atmosphere and attention to detail, instantly putting you at ease. The quality of the ingredients is excellent; each dish, prepared with the freshest ingredients, reveals a great attention to tradition but also a pleasant touch of creativity. The service is attentive, discreet, and always friendly, helping to make the evening even more enjoyable. Authentic and refined cuisine, undoubtedly a place to return to and one to enthusiastically recommend. ❤️

Visited on a Saturday evening. Indoor and outdoor seating. Friendly staff. The appetizer was okay, but the fried food was subpar.

Dinner at this restaurant right in the city center. We had a chef's appetizer with six small dishes, and two main courses, including a mixed fried fish and tuna alla matalotta. The appetizers featured lots of onion and not much fish; the fried food was good, but objectively limited, and the tuna was good and plentiful. Overall, for the price and the food, I wouldn't recommend this place!

The seating outside is very close together. Only one waiter takes orders, while seven others stand around idly. The white wine arrived warm, the cooler only had water, and we had to order extra ice cubes. The salad came without dressing, as is typical in Italy. We then ordered olive oil and assumed that vinegar, pepper, and salt would also be served. But we had to order everything separately. Symptomatic of the bored, uninspired service. The insalata mista consisted solely of iceberg lettuce and a few cherry tomatoes. Bread only came when requested. Pizza was OK, but the fish antipasto and linguine marinara were nothing special. The dishes weren't served at the same time. Fairly inexpensive, but still rather disappointing for us. Unfortunately, we were fooled by the fact that this was the busiest place.

There are definitely some things that could be improved, like the rice creaminess and the too-liquid tuna alla matalotta. The service could be improved.

The fish appetizer was good. The atmosphere was nice.

I have to say, it was very good. The staff was helpful and very friendly. The location was great, and above all, the gluten-free dishes were delicious (the one in the photo isn't gluten-free, but it's excellent nonetheless). Overall, it was a great experience. I'd gladly go back.
