U Zu Caliddu In Torretta

A special thanks to Maurizio and his kindness.

We took a 27 euro menu ... poor appetizers, the only positive note was the caponata, instead the first course ... pappardelle with wild boar ragu, which had nothing of ragu and more than pappardelle seemed like an overcooked crumble. Let's move on to the second course ... also very poor in quantity and quality, consisting of a roll of skewer, a piece of sausage and a slice of mutton, surrounded by a miserable green salad .... all in a single dish ... of the series all the things m'iscati that seemed u 3 i mazzi!!!! I do not recommend it to everyone .... quite disappointing🤮

If you are looking for a place where Sicilian tradition intertwines with the authenticity of the flavors of the past, then you cannot miss Trattoria U Zu Caliddu, Piano dellocchio di Torretta, in the province of Palermo. It is much more than a simple restaurant: it is a journey into memories, a return to the kitchens of our grandmothers, where every dish tells a story, an affection, a scent of home. But the true beating heart of this corner of gastronomic paradise is undoubtedly Salvina, the cook, an authentic guardian of ancient Sicilian recipes. With expert hands and sincere passion, Salvina manages to transform simple ingredients into masterpieces of taste. Each of her preparations is an act of love for traditional cuisine: from caponata with the scent of summer to fresh pasta seasoned with sauces that taste of Sunday, from slow-cooked meat second courses to desserts that seem to have come out of a recipe book of memory. Alongside Salvina, Sofia and Rosina, Aleandro, precious protagonists of the kitchen staff, work with dedication and mastery. Their professionalism and their discreet but fundamental touch are perceived in every detail: in the care of the presentation, in the punctuality of the service, in the ability to proudly carry forward a genuine cuisine, made of ancient gestures and sincere flavors. At Trattoria U Zu Caliddu, the welcome is at home: you feel pampered, welcomed with a smile, in a familiar and authentic environment, where nothing is left to chance. Aleandro knows how to pamper customers like one of the family and everything flows smoothly and in harmony. The quality-price ratio is excellent: you eat very well, with first choice products, at fair and transparent prices. And this, today more than ever, is a rare value. It is impossible to leave without feeling the desire to return. Because at U Zu Caliddu you don't just eat well: you live an experience, you breathe tradition, you find a piece of your heart. A heartfelt thanks to Salvina, Sofia, Rosina and Aleandro for their professionalism. See you soon. Giovanni

Traditional Sicilian food. Excellent and plentiful

Excellent cook, kind staff, eat peacefully and satisfied

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We would like to express our sincere gratitude to this wonderful restaurant! Last Thursday, we were hiking and had to take an unexpected detour because our way back was blocked. Exhausted, we arrived on the other side of the mountain and discovered this restaurant by the road. There, we received a warm welcome, were able to rest briefly with a drink, and in our desperation, asked if it would be possible to drive us back to our scooter, which was about 35 minutes away. The owner of the restaurant was incredibly helpful and drove us back to our scooter without accepting any money. We were impressed by his generosity. Three days later, we returned to eat there, and we were not disappointed. The food was absolutely delicious, traditionally prepared, and lovingly presented. The service was excellent, and the entire experience was perfect. We will definitely be back and highly recommend this restaurant. Once again, a big thank you to the owner for his helpfulness and fantastic service!

The house menu is always good and plentiful, the staff is kind and friendly, the bathrooms are clean, the restaurant has been renovated, it is linear and nice.

I thought better.... I had wanted to go there for a long time. Everything was good but nothing exceptional, lots of home-made dishes. Prices were medium-high
