Then in addition, the prosciutto with melon, also the carbonara which had thicker noodles. I dont know that I necessarily care for that, but it was yummy, and so flavorful. I loved it. The service was very direct slightly pretentious in a feel good way. So fun and such a good way to end your night in Italy.

And so we were about an hour and a half so they were still able to honor their later reservation. Menus in Italian, English, Spanish and Russian. Easy to understand and prices were reasonable. We both had their house red wine and it was great. The basket of bread (yep, coperto) was very good but for our appetizer, the roast octopus with potatoes. A small serving and perfect to get things rolling. For main, I chose the spaghetti alla amtriciana, which was perfect. A good portion that was loaded with bacon and a spicy tomato sauce. Yum! My friend chose the lasagna and loved it. It's a lovely restaurant and the service was perfect. Our waiter spoke enough English that we were all good. I would definitely eat here again!

We were welcomed to our outside table by Ivan--un grande! He is super nice and insightful with suggestions. He answered all of our questions in Italian and in English! The food: AMAZING! We started with a couple Jameson on the rocks (generous pour) and the calamari fritti as an appetizer. Buonissima! Lightly fried served with lemon wedges over un insalata valeriana--ottimo! After we ordered the spaghetti alla vongole veraci (fresh--not frozen) and the pappardelle con gamberetti e pesto dì pistacchio--wow! Totally different and wonderful!

My…read morehusband and I shared the Sicilia bedda rettangolari gourmet and the crema funghu porcini e marscapone quadri. I was really excited, especially for the stuffed crust! While the concept was good, the execution left much to be desired. Both pizzas seemed to lack complexity in flavor. In particular, there was a lot of crust on the quadri, and I think there was generally not enough tomato sauce. For the Sicilia bedda, there was so much tuna and anchovies on top that it overpowered the other flavors, and having more acid such as lemon or vinaigrette would have balanced it out. Otherwise, it was just creamy and salty. The servers were friendly, and the pizza was fine but definitely nowhere near the best we've had in our time in Europe and (in my opinion) definitely not worth the price. Overall, I would probably rate it at 2.5 but bumped it up to 3 because the pizza was fine but just pretty average compared to the others we've had. I would likely try a different pizza place if I return to Palermo in the future.

Warm and comfortable with linen tablecloth and linen napkins and heavy silverware, they have a long wine list and we opted to just have the house red which was great. Beautiful bread basket, we got the baked mozzarella cheese to start. A good portion baked in oil with fresh garlic. It was awesome and there will be no vampires tonight. For mains, my friend chose a noodle dish with eggplant. Big portion, very nicely presented and I had a small bit that was excellent. I chose the buccatini with sardines and it was amazing. Fresh sardines, pesto, perfect noodles. Yummy. Our first "full" dinner in Palermo (last night was the food tour) and it's really looking like we'll have a great food fest here.

I especially liked their house antipasti (eggplant dishes). It was fantastic! How can eggplant be so good? Biondo is located right off the main shopping drag. They have a pizza shop around the corner too. Ordering in English was small struggle - so picking up a tiny bit of Italian would help for those that do not speak any.
