Gagini Social Restaurant In Palermo

We went to Gagini a week ago. The food was truly exceptional. The entire 8 course tasting itinerary was well thought out. I remember every dish, there wasn't even one thing that would be aesthetically ugly or not delicious. The atmosphere of the place left us very moved due to the beautiful record player. The music hand-changed by the waiters made us feel super special. Despite this, the tasting courses do not include vegetarian courses but we had a person who does not eat meat or fish, Chef did us a great kindness by assembling a menu of 8 vegetarian courses on the spot. Our friend said it was the best vegetarian dinner of her life. The waiters went beyond the meaning of the word "excellent", they were more than kind and very good at talking about food and wine. They made us experience an unforgettable show, which will remain in your head, in your heart and on your palate.

Good not great. Creative but dishes didn't always work. Service wasn't very attentive. Desserts needed work. Nice wine list. "Squid" was the best diah.

Disappointment compared to expectations I went to the Gagini Restaurant, which boasts (when I went) a Michelin star, but unfortunately my culinary experience did not live up to expectations. I have had the opportunity to dine in other starred restaurants, and I must say that this one did not impress me in a positive way. The dishes, although well presented, were a little anonymous and lacked that distinctive character expected from a starred cuisine. The flavors were not particularly intense and lacked the depth that usually surprises and conquers in high-end restaurants. I expected a bolder and more surprising gastronomic experience. However, I want to point out that the atmosphere of the restaurant is really pleasant. The room is extremely refined, with an elegant and refined design that contributes to creating a very pleasant and welcoming environment. In conclusion, unfortunately, the cuisine did not meet my expectations, but the environment certainly deserves praise. If you are looking for a place with an elegant and well-kept room, Gagini is certainly a good choice, but don't expect dishes that will leave you speechless.

We had the 11-course menu and loved the atmosphere, music, and friendly staff. The menu was interesting, but I expected more. For a potential Michelin star restaurant, the flavors didn’t quite meet my expectations.

Very nice place, chef Erminia delighted us with a cuisine based on raw prairies poor in fish and a continuous play of contrasts. The main course of amberjack was a very large dish, where the bitterness, sweetness and depth of the fish were perfectly balanced. For stronger palates I recommend the quadritti, you will discover many souls in a single dish. Honorable mention for the kids in the room. Arianna has an overwhelming smile and immediately puts you at ease, accompanying you throughout the evening, Pietro has a great knowledge of wine and a passion that is overwhelming. Well done Giulia and Umberto too! This place deserves a star P.s. the oil and the desserts were something amazing!

We sat at the counter close to the kitchen. We had the chance to watch the chef work, very focused and smiling all the time! Amazing service by Pietro and Ariana. The Quadrotti was one of the best things I ever ate in my life! Thank you Gagini team for the amazing experience!

Nice atmosphere, delicious food and excellent service. The sommelier was very kind and attentive. Worth the visit.

We (a party of four) had the 8 course tasting menu. Everything was good except my wife's white fish fillet had a bone and her lamb also has a couple small bone pieces. I am a bit disappointed for a Michelin one star restaurant.

Incredible fine dining experience. Onion and sausage dish was incredible as was the black pork and all the other dishes. Bread was sensational.

Super evening, super location, super food The restaurant to visit when in Palermo
