Two of which received their meals in bowls that were quite dirty around the edges. Next, the meal I had, Tortellini, was quite bland. For the price of it, I would have expected more. It tasted fine, but nothing special at all. It was quite an unfortunate experience, as I enjoy authentic Italian food. Sadly, Skalinis can not offer a wonderful experience. I would not reccomend this retruratn to others.

I have heard good things about Calimero, and also it has been here for ages so I thought it would be a pretty safe choice. However, I'm not gunna lie and say I was quite disappointed with what we ended up experiencing at Calimero. For one thing, the service was pretty average; clearly the staff did not want to be here on their valuable Friday evening. Also the pizza itself definitely had room for improvement - out of the two we ordered, neither of which were particularly my favourite and they were both pretty expensive. Not quite sure what all the Calimero hype is about to be honest.

The pizzas are all internationally themed, (relatively) representing the flavours of a particular city. Must try's are the Berlin, the meat lovers option, or the New Delhi, featuring tandoori chicken and the refreshingly delicious yoghurt, mint sauce. Always keep an eye out for the regularly changing specials, the calamari was an old favourite. Just ensure you don't get your pizza too close to the sand, as we did, adding an extra crunchy texture.

When we walked past the restaurant, it smelled of amazing roasting garlic. My bf and I were…read moredetermined to try this place. Unfortunately, it was very disappointing. My bf's pizza was very lacking in flavor. The crust was ok and it just seemed as though canned ingredients were thrown on top with a layer of cheese. The chicken liver was ok. It was a bit overcooked and grainy. Then my veal was off. I'm not sure what it was. What made this place barely ok was the sauces on the chicken liver and my veal. It was well seasoned, but it didn't make up for the proteins they were covering. Perhaps I should have tried something else. My family's pasta dishes were ok and wasn't spectacular. The service was really good and the location can fit large parties. Overall, I wouldn't come here again even if I lived here.

On my first visit, I had the Pizza Taco, as I knew I was coming back with a different group, for the Indian pizza. On both occassions I was not disappointed.

Some of the other dishes tried between the two visits included the American, Spaghettoni and Meatballs in rich Neapolitan sauce, Teriyaki. There were some who were not as full as others and had to go for dessert too, which included Profiteroles, Tiramisu savoiardi, Chocolate hazel nut Sundae, and finally Cherry and Vanilla.

The pizza was ok, but the pasta was WAY over cooked and the sauce was just not good at all. The place was dead, we were the only customers for our entire meal. Yet, there are bright neon orange and green Palermo signs every 20 feet on the surrounding roads. We love this neighborhood block of shops, and want Palermo to be a success. but based on our recent experience, prices were higher, and food quality lower. This will not bring the customers back.
