I have been to Badalamenti Bottega e Cucina many times over the years with my family, and I can say with confidence that it is a true standout in Palermo and in Sicily.
The quality is exceptional and consistently high: the meats are outstanding and always perfectly cooked, the fish is incredibly fresh and handled with real care, the pasta dishes are beautifully balanced, and the truffle dishes are genuinely memorable. It's one of those rare places where you can honestly say that everything is delicious.
Another major strength is the wine program: the selection is broad, thoughtful, and full of interesting labels — a level of range and curation that is difficult to find elsewhere, and one that truly enhances the dining experience.
Their sense of hospitality is exceptional. The service is attentive, warm, and professional, with a genuine care for the guest that makes you feel welcomed every time.
A complete and truly reliable restaurant of the highest level. Strongly recommended to anyone seeking the very best of contemporary Sicilian dining.

My family and I had a dinner meal here on our first night in Sicily on vacation last month. The food was delicious and we had also very good wines! Not only that but Federica who is the sommelier there helped us to arrange a wine tour on very short notice. Federica was so helpful and responsive! The wine tour was to Tonino Winery and it was also such a wonderful experience for my family and me that we ended up leaving with 16 bottles of wine! Thank you so much Federica for being amazing host for us. Ciao and hope to see you soon.

Excellent restaurant. The Nebrodi pork dish is noteworthy. A bit pricey.

It's always difficult to be original; usually people say "delicious," "good," etc.! So I'll just try to tell you that this restaurant is simply "incredible 😻 🤩🥳"!
Thank you to the whole team for welcoming us!
P.S.: Italy and France are still the best nations for gastronomy.
