Very refined atmosphere, with a beautiful outdoor terrace in season. Top and very professional service with staff who explain the various courses. Wide selection on the wine list. Are you unsure whether to choose à la carte? Don't worry, choose the tasting menus and you won't forget anything. Recommended for an important occasion or to savor all the flavors, including the octave, of revisited Sicilian dishes.

It's a well-known fact that you eat well in Palermo, but it's less obvious that you can enjoy sophisticated, well-crafted and presented dishes in a welcoming and elegant setting, well-attended, with attentive service, and a solid selection of dishes, desserts, and wines. L'Ottava Nota is worth more than one visit; the exploration of new flavors, with a focus on traditional Sicilian ingredients, makes lunch an interesting sensory journey. My risotto with oysters and chocolate was an excellent choice, and the person who executed it to perfection had a great idea.

We all liked it. We were two couples, and we chose the tasting menu, including a vegetarian one. Everything was exquisite and carefully prepared, with very good products, an extensive wine list, and we were able to meet the chef and thank him for the dinner.

Best meal we had in Sicily and we cannot say enough about the staff. My fiancée has food allergies and they were extremely accommodating.

An excellent culinary experience with rare and refined combinations of products. The service is efficient and attentive. A big thank you to the entire team for their generosity and passion, which are evident in the dishes!

Excellent, carefully prepared and tasty dishes, Sicilian with Spanish influences. Extensive wine list. Impeccable service.

Yesterday I celebrated my birthday and asked a friend to recommend a refined place where we could eat well. She suggested Ottava Nota. As soon as we arrived, we immediately knew this restaurant was exactly what we were looking for: a very elegant and refined location. Our expectations were far exceeded. The staff was impeccable: each dish was presented and explained in detail, detailing the ingredients and their characteristics. Furthermore, as soon as the glasses were empty, they were promptly refilled. A level of customer service that, honestly, we hadn't found elsewhere. The kindness was surprising, both from the staff and especially from the owner: a blonde, gracious, friendly, and always available lady—truly the best. Another aspect that struck us was the portions: we expected small dishes, as often happens in gourmet cuisine, but instead they were generous. So much so that I couldn't finish the second course. The welcome was excellent: we were offered a delicious appetizer at the beginning of the evening, and to conclude, we were served delicious desserts, also complimentary, as a final farewell. We also chose a truly exquisite tiramisu, on which they placed a candle and wrote "Happy Birthday" on the edge of the plate. We were so satisfied that we will definitely return. "A location that deserves ten stars. A heartfelt thank you to the owner for the exquisite welcome and for all the attention we received."

A lovely restaurant, visited for a couple's dinner. We ate outside on a lovely terrace with a great atmosphere. The food was excellent, with many creative dishes, all well-executed. The wine list was lovely, with a sommelier who was able to guide us to an excellent selection. The service was impeccable and very courteous. 10/10

By far the best food I've eaten in Sicily and the best starter I've ever had. All the food is beautiful and the staff are attentive and friendly and really add to the experience.
