Il Cambusone In Palermo

Kindness, hospitality and delicious food. If you are in Palermo you cannot miss stopping at Cambusone. Tony and Alex exceptional! Everything was delicious, from the starter to the dessert, but above all the kindness and hospitality should be highlighted. Super!

Very welcoming and super dinner!!!

Of the 4 days we were in Palermo, three times we had dinner at Il Cambusone, the first night we almost didn't make it, we went without a reservation (it is essential to make one) and everything was busy, we also stayed for a while waiting in case there was a cancellation and we got it. We ordered sardine polpete and ravioli stuffed with aragosta with swordfish sauce and curried panna. The meatballs and their sauce were delicious, very tasty and the ravioli as well. They were the two best dishes we tried in the three dinners. Cost: Sardine meatballs: 9 euros. Lobster ravioli with cream and swordfish: 14 euros. 2 ricotta cannoli (good): 8 euros. 1/2 liter of house rosé wine: 6 euros. 1/4 liter of house red wine: 3 euros. 2 🍴 cutlery and bread: 4 euros. Total:44 euros. Day 2: Again we ordered the sardine meatballs. In addition, a mixed antipasto (two kinds of cheese, panelle and two eggplant rolls), it was correct but I would not repeat it. We liked the Caponatta better. Cost: Caponatta:6 euros. Sardine meatballs: 9 euros Mixed antipasto: 9 euros. 1 cannolo: 4 euros. 3/4 of rosé wine: 9 euros. 1/4 of red wine: 3 euros. Bread and cutlery 🍴:4 euros. Total:44 euros. Day 3: We tried a meat dish and a pasta dish. The first was pork involtini (3 units) stuffed with dried tomato, cheese, raisins and breadcrumbs. We served it with baked potatoes. The potatoes cooked in their skin and with aromatic herbs were magnificent and the stuffed pork rolls were very tender and tasty. The pasta: bucatini a la sarde, was delicious but not excellent, the sauce with sardine lacked the characteristic and perfumed flavor of fennel (finocchio). This pasta and the antipasto were my least favorite dishes. Cost: Bucatini a la sarde:12 euros. Pork involtini: 9 euros. Baked potatoes: 4 euros. 1 cannolo: 4 euros. 1/2 liter of rosé wine: 6 euros. 1/2 liter of red wine: 6 euros. Bread and 🍴 cutlery: 4 euros. Total:45 euros. Il Cambusone is well cared for by the owners, two married couples. The friendliness of one of the boys, always ready to dance the tarantella when two young street musicians pass by, and the kindness of his sister stand out. The atmosphere on the terrace of the picturesque Piazza Sant Andrea is cozy. It is worth passing by the Vucciria trattorias, all of dubious quality, and staying at Il Cambusone, it is not a tourist catcher. We were there on July 1, 3 and 4, 2024

Found by chance, trusting the positive reviews which I confirm. Tasted various dishes, all good, but the fried cod was excellent, not at all stringy.

In ordine progressivo, abbiamo preso: un antipasto di crudo ben impiattato,con un deliziosa e squisita tartare di gambero Rosso; poi una grigliata mista, spiedini e frittura di calamari e gamberi, il tutto accompagnato da un ottimo vino siciliano. Amaro agli agrumi molto buono. Per concludere, locale molto accogliente con un personale di sala molto disponibile. Un saluto a Nino dalla Calabria.

Ristorante defilato dal caos cittadino in una piazzetta suggestiva. Cibo ottimo tanto che siamo tornati anche la cena successiva. Personale attento e simpatico
