Osteria Mercede In Palermo

We had dinner in this restaurant where the food is based on fish, the first courses are excellent and they are all plentiful, the second courses are also excellent and finally the desserts are also very good, all homemade. We will return soon to this restaurant where I confirm that the food is very good: we recommend it.

Rustic place that offers Sicilian food. We went here for dinner, and everything was great. Not sure what the other reviewers said about food portions being too small since we were so full after our dinner.

Lunch was delicious! Ordered the pasta with Trapani pesto and fresh sweet shrimps to start. Then the croaker and the snapper for mains. Outstanding in freshness and portion size. The snapper was served over a spring melange of peas, artichokes and fava beans. We were despairing because we had no room for dessert. The Sicilian wine list looked great. I had a white from Etna and it was delightful.

Great place! The dinner was delicious and aesthetically pleasing!

Delicious food and nice service!

The quality of the material comes first. Comfortable place, excellent service. We had the first of the day... a delicious pasta dish. Exquisite 😋

A splendid place, right from the telephone reservation, where a very kind lady answered the phone. Typically marine environment, tasty, non-trivial dishes, very high quality and fresh fish. Prices perfectly normal, coffee kindly offered. To return as soon as possible. Reservations are almost mandatory, it's difficult to find a seat

The dishes are truly delicious, we ate very well. Too bad the behavior of the waiter. They don't offer wines by the glass, so you have to get a whole bottle. Only prosecco is offered by the glass, and when the waiter let me taste it and I said I wouldn't like it, he brought us another one. From that moment on, however, he didn't even look at us anymore. He even turned his head in another direction so as not to look at our faces when he served us the dishes we ordered. In my opinion, a fish restaurant should offer wines by the glass on the menu, not everyone wants to drink a whole bottle between two. And the waiter was not professional. It's a shame, because the food is really very very good.

Heerlijk gegeten in dit authentiek visrestaurant. Uitgebreide keuze, een hapje aangeboden vooraf, bediening van topniveau. Bedankt!

Ogni volta che vado a Palermo, andare a mangiare da Helios nella sua Osteria Mercede è un must. Pesce freschissimo di giornata, di fatti nel menù vengono scritti i piatti con la materia prima migliore che viene pescata in mattinata, e che il mare offre. Stavolta abbiamo ordinato un Polpo alla Vastasa, tenerissimo e per niente gommoso. Come primo, abbiamo optato per le Busiate con pesto alla trapanese e gamberi, e spaghetti al nero di seppia (ottimi!!!) L’unico dispiacere della serata (che non dipende dal locale) è stato non trovare la zuppa di cozze tanto attesa, la più buona mangiata in tutta la mia vita (e sono cagliaritana, di occasioni ne ho avute pure a casa mia 😃), che il giorno non era nel menù. Nei mesi che precedono l’estate la consiglio vivamente, non ve ne pentirete. Il team è sempre cortesissimo e simpatico, è sempre disponibile a dare consigli circa i piatti e la scelta del vino. I prezzi sono medio—alti, ma per una qualità così alta, non bisogna pretendere di pagare meno, anzi, bisogna esser soddisfatti e contenti di spendere i soldi in maniera tanto giusta. Andate andate andate!
