Food: Absolute Best Meal Of All Time

Josie and I are spending the weekend in Palermo and today we went to the Piazza Mondello which is the piazza of Mondello Beach. The beach is absolutely gorgeous and while walking around we found a great restaurant with a sweet deal. It was a bottle of water and a bottle of wine, six appetizers, two first courses, one of two choices for a second course, a choice of either orange or melon for desert, and either coffee or some drink we never heard of all for 25 euro! Every single dish was phenomenal and unlike in Rome everything was not subtitles in English, so we took a gamble because we did not know what half of the things were, but the gamble definitely paid off.

The staff there was incredibly friendly, and catered as best as they could to us barely speaking any Italian. The appetizers were, a seafood pasta, which consisted off octopus, shrimp, mussels and calamari. Then a plate of fried calamari (exquisite), then a plate of mussels, a plate of salad in a garlic-lemon seasoning with shrimp, then a plate of (it is hard to explain because I have never seen this before) fried mashed potatoes and bruschetta, then a plate of the absolute biggest oysters I have ever seen in my life. After that it was time for the first course, which consisted of rice and clams in this sauce that I could not quite put my finger on, but it was great all the same. Then a plate fettuccine in blush sauce with shrimp. Then for the second course we got a fish (head attached and all) with four huge prawns. We could barely finish everything and actually had to leave some of the plates unfinished. Then we wrapped everything up with a cantaloupe and the drink we had never heard of which turned out to be a shot that tasted somewhat like a lemon drop.

All in all, if you want the best meal for the best price, then go to Sicily...in specific, this restaurant in the Piazza Mondello.
