Terrible experience at lunch today!
A relative wanted to celebrate his birthday by inviting us to lunch at the Via Belgio location.
Some appetizers, like the eggplant rolls, were sour, as were some croquettes. The first courses tasted like slush, and in general, many dishes were left half-full because they were inedible.
The cake cutting (the only truly good thing, because it was purchased elsewhere) was done in the next room when it could have been cut in a more "transparent" way at one of the empty tables next to our gazebo table...
We didn't say anything to the birthday boy so as not to embarrass him. We told a waiter, but I'm afraid the owner still charged us as if everything had been fine...
I definitely won't go again!

Kudos to Mr. Angelo and the ladies at the restaurant. I was disappointed with the gentleman who delivered the plates. We asked him politely, and his response was, "I only have two hands. What do you want?" It's a shame that because of him, I don't know if we'll be back.

The food at this osteria is excellent. The pasta with sardines and fennel is delicious, as is the mixed fried fish. The staff is welcoming, friendly, and courteous. It's a family-run establishment.

It's a simple place, a little vintage, a little dated, but absolutely welcoming. There's plenty of seating, and a wide selection of dishes from the menu and the special of the day.

Osteria Lo Bianco at Via Belgio 41 continues the historic tradition of the namesake Palermo restaurant, founded in 1931. It stands out for its offerings that combine traditional Sicilian cuisine with a wide selection of pizzas, while maintaining a casual and welcoming atmosphere.
- The Gastronomic Experience
The menu celebrates the authentic flavors of popular tradition. Among our favorite dishes are:
• Typical Appetizers: Classics such as panelle and croquettes, eggplant caponata, and musso salad are always present.
• First Courses: Pasta with sardines and pasta with anchovies are the cornerstones of the cuisine, along with baked anelletti, prepared according to historic recipes.
• Second Courses: Sicilian-style involtini are very popular, and for those who prefer more authentic flavors, tripe or boiled meat.
• Pizzeria: Unlike the historic location, pizza plays a central role here, with light dough and toppings that recall local ingredients.
- Atmosphere and Service
The restaurant offers a cozy and casual atmosphere, ideal for both business lunches and dinners with family or friends. The style recalls that of old trattorias, but with a more modern and spacious feel.
• Service: The staff is friendly and approachable, in keeping with the restaurant's philosophy of making guests feel at home.
• Accessibility: The restaurant is wheelchair accessible (entrance and seating) and offers both free and paid parking nearby.
Hours: Open daily from 12:30 PM to 3:30 PM and from 7:30 PM to 11:30 PM
In short, it's the ideal place if you're looking for traditional cuisine in a residential area of Palermo, without sacrificing the convenience of a modern restaurant.
