It was a real blast from the past, this place reminded me with great joy of my grandparents' house, both for the simple location and for the traditional Palermo food and the top-notch welcome from Lollo, the perfect host 🤩.
We ate mussel soup, sardine meatballs, pasta with red mullet and fennel, prawns and cherry tomatoes and mixed fried foods. Abundant portions and above all cooked like at home ❤️. Truly honest prices and a lot of humility and kindness, rare virtues nowadays. There were also some tourists, who I saw were really satisfied, also because the service is quite fast 🤗.
We will definitely return to taste the pasta with the "fat" and above all we highly recommend it, because even if some people probably complain that the shape is missing, what is certainly not missing is the quality and the substance, and for me this is the most beautiful business card 😍.

A real tavern like you can't find anymore. Very kind and informal. Abundant and genuine traditional dishes. The sardine meatballs are unforgettable. We had 10 wrapped and enjoyed them at home!
this is a very local spot, off the beaten track, expect great food and truly italian service (be sure to read menu ahead as they’re not very patient)
the pasta was perfectly cooked al dente, incredibly generous portions, absolutely delicious, best squid pasta we’ve ever had.
for the fried calamari, the size of the calamari was so large and fresh, firm but tender and perfectly fried. not too greasy didn’t taste like oil. just absolutely incredible, wish we ordered to servings.
- 1/2 bottle of white wine - 2.00€
- nero di seppia - 8.00€
- calamari fritti - 10.00€
total for 2 = 24€

We had a great time! We were in a hurry so we took caponata and anchovies with olives. Yummy! Great prices!

An utterly bewildering experience! Me and 2 friends stopped here for lunch. We ordered 3 plates of noodles and 1 plate of fried seafood. Seafood is very fresh and delicious. The serving size is also quite large.
However, Italians eat shrimp without removing the intestines on the back, so the freshness is greatly affected.
Ok, I'm quite satisfied with the cheap price. What surprised and confused me was the person serving our table. When he first walked in, he was very charming, even complimenting my friend on how beautiful she was.
But, after my friend asked her noodle dish to have less salt because she likes it bland (and her Italian cannot be more crippled), the waiter changed 180 degrees 😂 his eyes were not no longer sparkles when looking at us, no more affectionate industrial smiles, no more compliments. When the noodles came out hot, I still felt his coldness.
The peak of confusion is when paying. We want to pay by card. But he said "cash only, no cards" as if this was the store's policy. and he waited. We didn't bring enough cash, tried to explain and find solutions but only received shakes of the head. Probably not an effective method of communication. He pointed me to the inside counter to work with another waiter. When I entered, I immediately saw the card machine 😀?? And I paid by card as usual 😀 very confusing
In the end, my friend tried to save the day by praising the delicious noodles, and he replied that he really liked us Vietnamese, even though at first he thought we were Chinese🤧

Il posto perfetto dove tradizione cultura e cucina siciliana DOC s'incontrano per i miei gusti rimane in cima della classifica palermitana !!!Staff gentilissimo e cordiale porzioni abbondanti e ottima qualità per le materie prime per non parlare della taverna stessa quando si entra tutto prende un senso si il vero senso siciliano ...😋😋😋

Trattoria situata a due passi dal famoso mercato popolare Ballarò, quindi in pieno centro storico, varietà di pietanze tipiche siciliane, dal pesce alla carne, tutta roba fresca genuina a km zero e cucinata ad arte. Prezzi popolari a cui una famiglia può tranquillamente sedersi a mangiare. Consigliatissimo
