Depalma's Italian Cafe

Get ready for the longest wait you can imagine just to eat average food. The hostess was obviously having a less than stellar day judging by her face and communication style. Our welcome was greeted with a misspelling of our name and shame on use for trying to help correct it. After 45 minutes of waiting we were seating in the back and greeted by the best young waitress who helped earn this review an extra star. When asked which wine is best and what they pair well with shebecome flustered and let us know she couldn?t really help due to not being 21 and no experience in taste. My husband continued to push until I finally had to step in and give the poor girl time to just pick one. A major mistake on our partbecause our pick did not go well with our Cesar salad or Pasta dish due to dryness. If you like pesto the stuffed mushrooms are the best part of our meal. Our side salads were very tasty however too much dressing is a thing and just didnot go well with the wine. Our entree the Florentine was ok at best. They were extremely busy and maybe this was just an off night for service (hostess) and flavor. Our total was a normal price for outings so unlike others, I will notcomplain about pricing. I would say that you should definitely try to visit when they aren?t crazy slammed.

Worth The Wait?.. This place was GOOD! A pretty long Friday night wait but we?ll worth it. The hostess was tremendous and we were seated within minutes of our guesstimate wait time. She was kind, friendly and understanding of everyone that came to her with all different types of ?situations?. Handled herself very well under a lot of constant ?attention?! The waiter was accommodating of our needs and answered all our questions about items on the menu and offered guidancetowards certain items that we may have been in-between on. The appetizer of meatballs and mushrooms was bursting with cheesy, earthy goodness. My Caesar salad was hearty with a briny dressing that hit all the right notes. I ordered themushroom ravioli. It came swimming in this decadent brown butter sauce and fresh basil. The special addition of toasted walnuts took this dish to the next level of flavor composition. Oh, and that damn bread!!!!!! When in b-ham, doyourself a favor and hit this bad boy up and enjoy the hopping atmosphere and delicious food!!!!!

This is not only my favorite restaurant in Tuscaloosa, it may very well be the greatest restaurant I've ever eaten with.
