I migliori ristoranti di cucina cucina siciliana in Palermo

05/12/2025: A historic Palermo restaurant, located right in the city center since 1890, it represents the quintessential food and wine culture, particularly its selection of "bolliti." This is a traditional Italian dish, usually served in winter, made with meat (often a mix of beef, veal, or chicken) and vegetables, slowly cooked in boiling broth. In addition to the aforementioned dishes, the menu also features many local specialties, featuring a simple and deliberately "rough" approach, alternating according to the seasonality of the ingredients used. The dishes are carefully crafted and presented in a pleasant, clean, and simple manner. The wine list is comprehensive overall, with little reference to the Metodo Classico, perhaps a business decision aimed at a tourist crowd. Charismatic figures include chef/owner Romeres, an excellent professional but also a scholar of Palermo's food and wine history, and his wife Marisa, a very sweet, affable, discreet, yet present and indispensable lady at the reception. The service is attentive, friendly, and attentive, and is also committed to meeting any customer request. The location has remained unchanged over the years, with a subtle retro feel, starting with their sign, which embodies a blend of an inn and an old tavern. The three interior rooms are filled with photos and vintage furnishings, reflecting a passionate professional journey undertaken by grandfather Salvatore Catanese, a legacy passed down to the latest generation, his grandchildren Ada, Gaetano, and his wife Marisa. Excellent value for money, especially thanks to The Fork's 30% discount.

23/11/2025: dated place... the food didn't thrill me

09/10/2025: There is nothing to say, the atmosphere, the food, the service, everything is impeccable.

03/10/2025: Excellent restaurant, delicious food, ambiance reflects Sicilian hospitality.

08/11/2025: The pasta was delicious, perfectly al dente, just as real Italian pasta should be. The family is lovely and gave us exceptional service. A wonderful experience!

08/11/2025: Grazie a Anthony Bourdain, I’ve discovered the best restaurant in Palermo. If you do a little research, you will understand why is worth going to the real centro storico. Very grateful for the experience as a whole (history, service, food and happiness)

19/11/2025: Nice place, but a bit too touristy in my opinion. Famous for their arancini. I preferred the ragù-flavored ones.

07/11/2025: It was a good experience, this location is more for locals than tourists. We tried eggplant pizza, chiken with fries pizza, tuna pizza and calzone, all were very good. Very good customer service.

30/10/2025: We happen across this fab restaurant. Took a note and came back the following day. It was just what we hoped, an authentic Sicilian experience, delicious food, lovely staff and good wine too! The mixed platter as a starter was excellent! Highly recommend!

28/10/2025: Super place, very kind people, what can I say, highly recommended, congratulations

10/12/2025: Best food we had in Sicily. We went with the 6 course menu. Loved evey bite. Great vibe, excellent waiter who spoke great English. Really loved the experience.

17/11/2025: The sommelier helped us choose a delicious Sicilian red and white - opened a new bottle for us as we only one glass each. Excellent service and delicious food. Highly recommend it.

16/12/2025: Tourists visiting Palermo, with my boyfriend we chose this restaurant because it had good reviews and indeed everything was excellent, food, price, service super satisfied to recommend for an informal environment oriented towards quality

14/12/2025: I agree with what many have said: authentic, plentiful dishes at fair prices. We ordered two plates of orecchiette with turnip greens, cherry tomatoes, and sausage. I felt right at home because they were the kind of flavors you find when dining with family. The same feeling for the apple tart: a thin shortcrust pastry base with a layer of dark chocolate, topped with an excellent cream and apples. Delicious. All this with a half liter of local wine, a coffee, and a amaro, on the house, for €26. Special mention goes to the owner, who took orders and attentively served all the numerous customers with discretion, professionalism, and polite humor. A place frequented by locals, highly recommended.

20/12/2025: The environment is a bit noisy for my taste.

08/12/2025: Terrible. For a breaded pork roast, it took 45 minutes. After the first course, I asked for wine and water, but they arrived after I sent the second course back because it was raw after 45 minutes (roast pork). Terrible. First and last time. First courses that weigh 70g are a lot. I'll never go back.

07/12/2025: I was at the Corte dei Mangioni for the first time. Excellent service, especially Fabio and Federica, kind and always available. A beautiful experience to be repeated for sure.

30/11/2025: Congratulations to Andrea! Friendly and courteous!

28/09/2025: Typical trattoria, fresh fish and catch of the day with à la carte menu, opposite the Bagheria station, I recommend it

27/09/2025: Excellent food prepared with care and mastery of ancient flavors 👍

08/11/2025: Excellent welcome, a nice bonus: menu and advice in French too! We had a great time. A very good discovery, especially the dishes and the orange salad.

04/11/2025: The Sicilian platter is varied and quite good; the pasta with ricotta and eggplant is also excellent, thanks in particular to perfect cooking. The setting is charming and the waitstaff is very attentive.

06/09/2025: We celebrated my sister's wedding. The location was beautiful, the food was good. Rooms are not rented.

22/08/2025: I had the pleasure of visiting the masseria during the Ferragosto holiday. It's a charming place surrounded by nature, just outside the city of Palermo, about 30 minutes away. I had a wonderful lunch on Ferragosto, an excellent menu, served by very attentive and friendly staff. I'll definitely be back!

03/12/2025: Small but very quaint. Simple but friendly service. Good food: excellent spaghetti with clams.

30/11/2025: During our stay in Palermo, we accidentally discovered Vecchia Trattoria Da Totò, in the heart of the Vucciria district, and fell in love with it so much that we returned two days in a row. The fish is incredibly fresh, cooked simply and impeccably, and the value for money is truly exceptional. The welcome is extraordinary: you immediately feel at home, as if we've been regulars for years. Among the dishes we tried, the pasta with red mullet deserves a special mention for its delicacy and authentic seafood flavor. To finish the meal, a glass of their homemade limoncello is a must, fragrant and delicious—the perfect way to end the evening. It's one of those places that, once you've tried it, automatically becomes a must-visit. Highly recommended.

07/12/2025: So nice, our group of 20 Americans ate there twice! House wine, Penne Arribbatta and everything was amazing! Highly recommend!

25/10/2025: Terrible pizza not made on the premises.
