Anyone who comes to this Trattoria Cucina Popolare will never be disappointed: the top quality, the fast and precise service, the Messina-style cod that we had revealed to us a world of long-forgotten southern flavors and the bill was more than fair. . Samuele is the soul of the restaurant full of locals and tourists who, even at the risk of missing the train (it is very close to the train and bus station) enjoy it to the fullest. Good and honest! We will definitely be back!!

Good food from the heart!
I spotted this place whilst on the taxi journey from Palermo Central train station, to the flat where my travel companions and I were staying. It looked to me that it could be an interesting trattoria, where good, local food is served. I was certainly right!
After noting down and researching the place, on the basis of the positive reviews, we decided to give it a try. We were greeted with friendliness and courtesy and we were offered a large and comfortable table. We ordered several local dishes, which were all really tasty and in abundant portions. It was really good food, cooked well, from the heart! Highly recommended!

A few steps from Palermo central station, we were hungry and wanted to eat typical dishes and fortunately we entered this restaurant whose name already invites you to smile, we ate very well, excellent welcoming and fast service, we entered and immediately felt at home , I didn't open the menu, I asked to bring us the things you usually eat at home and we trusted (I highly recommend), prices appropriate to the quality of the cuisine (seafood, sea urchin spaghetti and prawn tartare, Sardinian cod). Some photos of the dishes are missing, we didn't have the coldness with the beccafico sardines, they were too inviting. The best thing about this place was that there were many local Sicilians and they appreciated the dishes. I have to thank Trenitalia because fortunately our train was 35 minutes late... thank goodness

A place with typical Sicilian food. Incredible attention, good recommendations and kindness. The food was super good, we ordered the melanzane caponata (eggplant rolls) to share and a pepper, eggplant and olive salad that was exquisite! Also, the prices are quite affordable. I recommend it without a doubt!!
PS: I attach some photos of the dishes we ordered.

Excellent food, we went because we saw it full of locals and we liked the price and the food. The service was a bit slow because it was very full.

Service depends on the server you get ofcourse some good, some mediocre. The other tables were given olive oil whilst we weren’t.
The meatballs are just not good and they’ll push you to have a starter.
The pasta was decent at best, not much to critique but not much flavour to enjoy.
Overall underwhelming for a place with such high reviews.

We ordered carbonara and matriciana, so two very basic italian dishes. Both were extremely salty and the guanciale was burnt (literally.. it tasted like ashes). The service was very good, but that’s not enough.
Excellent, they recommended the cod meatballs, super good, fair prices, just add a few seconds of meat like steak since there can fit a guest who doesn't eat fish, otherwise everything is ok, thank you very much
