I've never been there, but the first time I return to Palermo I'm going to eat there because it was really nice on TV!
W Palermo and Saint Rosalia 😚

After many years, I finally plucked up the courage to go into Focacceria Basile, and it was a great experience. Everything was well prepared, using fresh, quality ingredients. The service was friendly and attentive. A true must-try. It gets really crowded at peak times. Recommended.

I think if you want to try authentic Sicilian cuisine, this place is perfect.
We went there on the recommendation of several Palermitans, and immediately noticed the lack of tourists queuing, so we knew it was the right place.
There's a good reason why Palermitans come here for their lunches, and you'll discover it by trying their dishes.
The prices are more than fair: an arancina, a portion of baked anelletti (which was basically enough for two), and two bottles of water for €9...
Compliments to all the staff.
I hope to visit you again.

Family-style cooking at a very reasonable price. Nothing fancy, but the dishes are hearty, generous, and comforting: just like a traditional home-cooked meal. A good place to enjoy simple, authentic food in a relaxed setting.

A great place for a quick lunch in a more homey, non-restaurant style. They have 3-4 different kinds of pasta to choose from. Vegetarian options are also available (plus, if you ask for cheese-free, they'll make it vegan). Generous portions.

It's hard to understand what's going on there, but the food makes up for it all 😍 the dignity of the tourist is not important.

A quaint spot in the center of Palermo. Very affordable and with good food. Worth a visit, especially if you're visiting the place itself.
The food is strictly local and well-cooked. Friendly staff. Recommended.

Without exaggeration, one of the best arancini I've had in Palermo. An experience I'll definitely repeat next time. Thanks!
