Trattoria Biondo In Palermo

Without a doubt the best dinner in Palermo: incredibly delicious food, great value for money, and top-class service.

Excellent trattoria in the heart of Palermo. I celebrated my graduation here many years ago, and I returned, happy to find the same high quality and unwavering kindness. The owner was incredibly kind; my son also ordered a truly delicious clam pasta dish, with top-quality clams. Congratulations!

A truly delightful discovery. We stumbled upon this trattoria almost by mistake, having booked a table at the adjacent pizzeria of the same name. But as soon as we entered and saw the ambiance, we immediately changed our minds. My wife and I were there on a Friday. The atmosphere was intimate, with several separate rooms where small groups dined in complete tranquility. The first thing we noticed was the absence of the typical "revelry" that too often occurs in restaurants. Then we were drawn to the kindness and friendliness of Mr. Biondo, the owner, who is capable of entertaining you with the history of the place. The food was truly delicious, especially the pasta with the freshest sea urchins, which are brought to you open on a separate plate so you can season it as you like. And the strudel, well-seasoned and just warm, was truly delicious. As mentioned, a delightful discovery.

Excellent pizza, very friendly and professional staff. Reasonable prices.

A typical Sicilian restaurant from another era, one of those that welcomes you and captivates your gaze with its paintings, furniture, and objects. The owner is friendly, and the staff is kind and helpful. The food is excellent. We had an excellent grilled trinca with baked potatoes and exceptional clam soup. It's one of those places where you enjoy lingering for a long time, enjoying good food and relaxing after a long day at work.

The place has a pleasant atmosphere and the service is okay, but unfortunately, that's where the positives end. The prices are very high, and the quality of the food definitely doesn't match the prices. The perch was quite OK, but the swordfish was completely unremarkable—in fact, subpar. The side dishes were also disappointing: one potato on the plate and a dry salad consisting mainly of leaves and half a cherry tomato. There were very few vegetarian options—a salad for 20 euros and literally two pasta dishes. Overall, the food wasn't impressive at all, and at these prices, I expected much more. I wouldn't recommend it.
