Bar Elena In Piana degli albanesi

02/04/2024: Saturday lunch during a trip around Palermo. The location is not the best, it is located behind the station which I believe is disused, but the restaurant is very nice. Even though it was a weekday I noticed adequate staff and everyone was very courteous and kind. We ate very well with mostly local food and generous portions. The bill was honest.

02/04/2024: Dining at Mamma Rosa’s was like eating at my own mother’s home! We shared an appetizer plate called Rustico that contained Sicilian specialities such as mini pannelle, mini arangini, caponata, sun dried tomatoes stuffed and fried, etc. I had Pasta con le Sarde — outstanding! My American husband loved his dish of Mamma Rosa’s special pasta dish which had little chunks of sausage in it. A side of creamy and buttery spinach was a perfect side dish. Don’t miss eating here.
