Il Grigliator - PALAGIANELLO

The rest is boring, if you want the meat here to be the right place. All perfect, the photo speaks for itself. .

Excellent meat cooked to perfection. excellent service and courtesy of other times

Very good meats with a wide choice of cuts and animals. good availability of staff. minimalist local but for me what matters is eating well and here it is so. parking in the immediate vicinity.

Cozy and clean room. we ate very well and paid the right. kind and good waiters in their work. we will return

Can't fault the concept here they grill meat, lots of it, and there's a whole load of it to look at on display. I imagine that if you are a local, the way your evening will unfold probably makes a lot of sense. If you're an unsuspecting foreigner, it's slightly bewildering. The place itself looks not unlike a butchers shop, although the big grill and cooking apparatus behind the counter gives the game away. From pictures on line, we knew that there was some seating inside, but upon arrival the manager quickly marched us out to a rather military looking covered area by the side of the building. Not a problem, we preferred it. The busy laminated menus were rather a challenge, and there was certainly a wide choice of meats, grilling variations and sauces. Helpfully, the kind young cook came out to help convey our selections to a young non english speaking waitress. We picked out some dishes that we thought we had identified correctly and waited with some curiosity. We were the only customers in situ at the time. We'd got a carafe of very peppery red wine and a plate of tasteless melon plus a bowl of fries to keep us busy, and then the waitress returned. After a lot of pointing and gesticulating on both sides, Mrs EPR was sent back into the main grill area to choose something else, as was I after she returned. So she got an unexpected plate of spicy chicken skewers and I got an unexpected plate of merguez sausages. But all handpicked by ourselves from the meat on display, and grilled quite adequately. Having thought that this may have occurred because our original choice had some sort of problem, our original choices then turned up! I had a large steak heavily covered in a pungent gorgonzola sauce and Mrs EPR grappled with a sizeable grilled chicken similarly topped with a creamy pistachio equivalent. Couldn't fault the size or the standard of the meals, although both were overwhelmed by their dressings. Completely stuffed afterwards so not a chance of consuming anything else. By this time, we had been joined by two large parties of cheerful locals with only our little waitress to look after them all. We managed to catch her attention and met her inside to get the bill, dodging the queue that had formed to either get takeaways or to take meat away to grill at home. The manager was holding court by the counter and the punters seemed to love him. The entire place was packed when we left at 21.30, which must be some kind of recommendation in itself. Otherwise, probably best for no nonsense carnivores feeling adventurous.
