Bar gastronomia del Centro In Palermo

28/09/2025: Very warm welcome. The waitress was lovely and helpful for those who don't speak Italian. Delicious meal. Very well presented.

13/09/2025: My Spanish wife and I have just come back to London from a 5-day trip to Palermo, four of which we ate here at this wonderful family restaurant. I'm glad I saw all the positive reviews before leaving London because we then very sensibly went the first night, leaving plenty of time to return. So, firstly don't be put off by its being off the beaten track behind the cathedral and next to a parking lot; it's all part of the authentic charm. We did go to other good restaurants in Palermo but none could compare with Spano. It really is a family-run restaurant Delightful Angela serving and husband Sergio and son Roberto cooking What a team! The best seafood pasta I've ever had and I'm 64 and have been going to Italy for holidays more than any other country. Simple, unfussy home-cooked sublimely delicious food Huge choice. Served with a smile by Angela. And rare for restaurants anywhere in the world these days: 1:Proper serviettes and not horrible tissues 2:Comfortable seats 3: Really nice bossa nova music at low volume level so you can talk. 4: Clean toilets 5: Real menu you can hold in your hand and not downloadable on your phone (I hate that so much). Don't worry about booking just turn up; Angela will look after you. We're missing Palermo and Spano in particular and we only got home yesterday Can't wait to go back one day
