Villa Clelia In Palermo

Very good food and impeccable service

As soon as we arrived, we wanted to linger, but in the end we gorged ourselves on the food: to start, they offered us a house appetizer, which was fried shrimp. Then we ordered the lobster Catalana, and my eyes lit up because it was the best I'd ever tasted, also because the onions had a very light flavor that perfected everything. Next up was the cheese-crusted fillet, which was incredibly tender and the cheese melted on top was an aphrodisiac. When a friend of mine received the octopus carbonara, he let me try it, and I had the idea of ​​taking one of the chefs home with me. At a certain point, the mupa tartare arrived. Then I had the citrus ice cream, and that was when I finally satisfied myself.

We had an amazing fine dining experience, every mouthful was delicious. Greeted by the owners on arrival, the menu was explained with clarity, the waitstaff were very professional and the dishes were 5 star quality. Unfortunately we found on our last night in Mondello , would have dined here everyday. If you are in Mondello and do Not dine here , you will miss out on a top quality experience.

Great experience, special foods as special was the welcome of Jessica. An experience to repeat.

This is one of those restaurants where you wonder why they dont have a higher rating. They accommodated our group of 9 with very short notice on a Friday evening. The owner/host (Jessica) and all the staff were very friendly and the service was top class. Every dish we had was truly excellent. When ordering desserts, we asked if it would be possible to have candles for 2 of our group who's birthday's we were celebrating. Not only did they have candles but they had numbers for the specific year of the birthday's. The only disappointment was that we only tried this restaurant on the final evening before we left Palermo so couldn't go back again.

Fantastic restaurant with high class local food. Staff including Celia were amazing and facilitated a party of 7 adults with 2 young children. We wanted to share family style and the staff were great. The food was really delicious and well presented. It had a huge wine list.
