I migliori ristoranti di cucina cucina siciliana in Palermo

08/09/2025: Not sure. Alcohol menu missing, beer bottle 750ml was 14 eur. Lasagna was dead...

07/09/2025: The best Parmigiana! This was such a delicious dish, that I have to make it at home as well. I am still thinking of this incredible taste. Also the service was great! Thank you for the nice evening.

11/09/2025: 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."

09/09/2025: 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.

06/09/2025: Every wedding brings with it unique emotions, but ours was made truly unforgettable thanks to Sandro, the conductor and beating heart of Il Ghiottone Raffinato. It's hard to describe his presence in words: discreet yet constant, elegant yet reassuring, instilling absolute trust from the very first meeting. For us, he was a guardian angel, a silent yet attentive guide, a constant presence that allowed us to experience our most beautiful day with serenity and fulfillment. With Sandro, we felt protected, accompanied, and "protected" at crucial moments, just like family. His empathy, kindness, and timeless style left a profound impression not only on us, but also on our guests, who perceived him as an integral part of the celebration. Alongside him, the vision and solidity of the Fiandaca brothers, owners and the entrepreneurial spirit of Il Ghiottone Raffinato, deserve sincere praise. Thanks to their leadership, this event stands out for its impeccable organization, top-notch culinary choices, and a team that works in perfect harmony. The culinary journey was extraordinary. The freshest fish and exquisite oysters captivated guests from the start. The creative and delicious appetizers transformed the anticipation into a surprising and convivial experience. The authentic grilled meat and local produce, accompanied by craft beers, celebrated roots and tradition with an innovative touch. Finally, the spirits and chocolate table capped the celebration with a moment of refined conviviality, leaving guests with vivid and memorable memories. The team, led with passion and expertise, demonstrated professionalism, warmth, and a constant smile. Each one of them contributed to making the guests feel pampered and part of a large family. The applause and compliments we received from our guests were unanimous: quality, freshness, sophistication, and perfect organization. But beyond all this, we will forever cherish the certainty of having entrusted our most important day to Sandro and the Fiandaca family, who transformed catering into a work of art. If we had to define reliability, elegance, and passion, for us the answer has a precise name: Il Ghiottone Raffinato.

21/07/2025: What can I say? The best in catering and skill, kindness and courtesy, always available to fulfill any wish.

24/08/2025: Never had a meal so bad, the raw fish was warm, the very sweet fish seemed sugary, the fish goulash was just potatoes with no fish, and the white wine was room temperature despite the 30 degrees Celsius outside. When we asked for some soaked wipes, they only brought us one for 12 people.

21/08/2025: We had dinner at this restaurant, and all the dishes were delicious. The fried caciocavallo cheese was truly delicious! We ate outside at tables overlooking the fairly quiet square. The service was quick and friendly. Recommended.
