Buatta Cucina Popolana Palermo In Palermo

I don't understand why some restaurants get negative reviews. Buatta made me feel very welcome on both of my visits. Aside from the excellent food, I'd like to commend the hosts on both evenings. They were incredibly friendly and attentive, with a hands-on approach. I really appreciated that. The heart of any restaurant is always the kitchen, and they did a fantastic job. The appetizers—Focaccia "Sfincione," Caponata, Fish Sausage, Anelletti with Meat Ragout, Handmade Ravioli, and the Sardines "a Beccafico"—were all absolutely delicious. For dessert, be sure to try the Almond Parfait "Noto" or the Cassata. Unfortunately, they don't have a house wine, but the wine available by the glass is also very well-made, delicious, and reasonably priced. Thank you, dear Buatta team, for the wonderful evenings and the excellent service. Keep up the great work!

Nice place, food is good, I took ravioli, it was nice, but I don’t like slices of meat on them

If you find yourself strolling through the alleys of Palermo's historic center, far from the hustle and bustle of the more touristy streets, you might stumble upon this small restaurant that is a real discovery. The ambiance is simple, almost minimalist, yet instantly conveys a sense of warmth; it's the ideal place for those seeking an intimate and cozy atmosphere, where design doesn't overwhelm the pleasure of dining. The service was impeccable: the staff is knowledgeable, courteous, and genuinely passionate. We greatly appreciated the attention paid to explaining the dishes, an unusual detail that allows us to understand the origins of the ingredients and their connection to revisited Sicilian tradition. It's rare to find such a perfect balance between professionalism and informal hospitality. In short, a top-notch culinary experience that I highly recommend to anyone seeking the experience of Sicilian cuisine revisited with care and passion.

Local cuisine is of the highest standard. A wide selection of wines is available.

In the heart of Palermo, an excellent restaurant serving quality products and revisiting traditional dishes. A good wine list and fast, attentive service are also available. Prices are reasonable.

Exceptional food, friendly and professional staff. This place is truly exceptional

Perhaps we had too high expectations. The food was decent, but the service could be improved. The waiter, with glasses and dyed hair, didn't seem to be working, which was truly unpleasant, so much so that we left without dessert. I definitely don't recommend it; there are certainly better places in Palermo.

Good food but the atmosphere is not as authentic as in other restaurants in Palermo. It feels like a chain, even though it’s not.

A family-friendly atmosphere; it seems best to book ahead as it gets busy. The service was quick and attentive. We opted for the chef's menu: a very pleasant surprise. It was accompanied by several glasses of Sicilian wine. An excellent choice!

Had the surprise menue, selection of the chef. Every dish a true surprise made with flavours, textures and local ingredients. The suggested wine was a perfect match. Hope to return back soon
