MEC in Palermo is in a museum exhibit dedicated to the Apple computer company, which was cool to look at. The building is very cool, Palazzo Castrone – Santa Ninfa, a 16th century palace.
The food was excellent as well as the service. The wine pairing was also really good, it was a mix of Sicilian wines and French.
My favorite dishes were:
Cuttlefish, its ink, beans and peas "frittedda". This was my first time having cuttlefish prepared with the ink sack still intact. It was tender and fun. It was paired with a 2013 Shiara Cataratto.
The Sweet & Sour red pumpkin, miso,
fermented black garlic and mustard ice cream was my favorite with a unique pairing of pumpkin with mustard ice cream.
Rabbit, spring vegetarian lasagna and green pepper sauce was cooked perfectly. The rabbit was tender and the green pepper sauce was very good. The rabbit was served with a 2020 Gaja Barberesco.
