I migliori ristoranti di cucina italiana in Palermo

09/11/2025: I've never received a stinking cuttlefish dish, immediately returned it, specifying the reason, and found it included in the bill for €30.00. I pointed out the lapse in style, with respect to fundamental rules that apply to restaurant relationships, but to no avail. I was met with a wall of arrogance and probably also ignorance regarding the aforementioned rules. I paid, hoping to never encounter such workers rescued from unemployment again.

05/11/2025: We celebrated my daughter's birthday once again. It's enough to mention the reservation: at my first mention, the response was "I'll say yes, call me tomorrow and we'll make the arrangements." Then, on site, as always, the staff were professional and the wait times were more than decent (on a Saturday, for 11 young people and 4 other guests at a separate table). Everyone, from the manager to the staff, was always helpful and pleasant. The atmosphere was pleasant, as always. The pizza was very good and easy to digest, as always. Thank you, and let's leave aside some of the scathing reviews.

20/08/2025: One of the best Gelato my family and I have had. We ordered 3 gelato each with two different flavors, couldn’t tell you which one was better, all 6 flavors were fresh and delicious

19/08/2025: Superb homemade ice cream served by the scoop Special mention for the squagghio, which is truly excellent Very friendly staff

28/11/2025: For us, the best restaurant in all of Palermo! The food was outstanding – every dish perfectly seasoned and incredibly fresh. The service went far beyond the norm: attentive, warm, and absolutely professional. The atmosphere was simply magical and made the evening absolutely perfect. A special highlight: the bread, limoncello, and olive oil are all homemade – and you can taste the difference! Everything was incredibly delicious and prepared with so much love. Especially convenient: you can also take the food to go without compromising the quality. All in all, an experience that's hard to put into words – simply indescribably good. We will definitely be back and wholeheartedly recommend this restaurant!

19/11/2025: The food was okay but nothing special, and the prices and coperto were quite high. The mussel soup wasn't very flavorful; I've had better. The water they swim in here lacks flavor. I would add more salt to the carbonara. The patate arrosto was quite good, but the price for potatoes, 8 euros, was outrageous.

04/11/2025: Perfect Simplicity by the Sea This restaurant was recommended to us by a Sicilian friend from Palermo, and it was a total success. We arrived early and were lucky enough to get a table with a spectacular sea view, like we were on a boat. The food was simple and delicious. I ordered spaghetti with seafood ricci di mare and devoured every last bit 🤤 authentic, fresh, and full of flavor. My husband had fish: beautiful presentation and impeccable quality. The place is simple and unpretentious, which makes it even more special. Later on, it gets busy, and the service becomes a little slow, but that's part of the charm, and it's completely worth it for the view and the quality of the food. We would return without hesitation. An authentic and delightful spot by the sea.

26/10/2025: I went to this restaurant by chance with my family. Very friendly welcome, very smiling and very kind waiter, I had never eaten so well in my life!!! And the sea view is just incredible!! I recommend it!!

16/11/2025: Excellent cuisine. They've renovated the place compared to some time ago, but the courtesy and professionalism are still the same. I recommend it.

31/10/2025: A good pizza but without pretensions!

26/10/2025: The Pozzillo Tower, without its pistil, is a coastal defense tower that was part of Sicily's coastal tower system. It is located in the "Puzziddu" area, right at the highway junction for the Falcone e Borsellino Airport at Punta Raisi in the province of Palermo, within the municipality of Cinisi. It is state property and is easily accessible, with free access. Construction began in the first half of the 17th century, as it was not surveyed in 1578 by royal architect Tiburzio Spannocchi during his survey. Even at the time of Camillo Camilliani's survey in 1584, it still did not appear to have been built, despite his finding that the cove in front of it could accommodate 25 galleys: "there could fit 25 galleys." In 1625, the tower was not yet completed, although the records of the Deputation of the Kingdom of Sicily already listed its guardians and "torrari." Again from the records of the Deputation of the Kingdom of Sicily, in 1691 we learn that it had been entrusted to the Prince of Carini and that the garrison consisted of three men in total, including the artilleryman. From 1714 to 1717, the same records show that the armament consisted of: 1 bronze cannon with a wheeled carriage; 2 mortars; 6 arquebuses; 1 bronze culverin (known as a "masculo" or "mascolo"); 5 halberds; 28 cannonballs. In 1811, it is mentioned because its garrison was arrested for cowardice in the face of the enemy after failing to intervene to assist an American vessel attacked by pirates. The tower is mentioned in 1823 in the official cartography of the Bourbon army, but under the name of "torre nuova" (new tower). In 1867, it was included in the list of military structures to be decommissioned. It is currently unused and is in fair condition following restoration work beginning in 1970. It somewhat reflects the Camillian style. Today, an opening on the ground floor, located above the former cistern, leads to the first floor, which consists of three rectangular rooms. The largest, the one facing the land, is approximately 8 meters high on the longest side. The vault is barrel-vaulted, as is the custom, and approximately 5 meters high. A fireplace is located on the right wall, and a built-in cupboard on the left. The central wall contains a well that allowed water to be drawn from the cistern below. A stone staircase consisting of two ramps, set into the exterior southeast wall, leads to the roof. The terrace parapet was restored during restoration work in the last century.

27/08/2025: The sandwiches are good and well made, the absurd rule of prepayment upon ordering applies

01/10/2025: Good restaurant, excellent service

21/09/2025: This establishment seems like a wonderful place to enjoy a meal with loved ones. The ambiance is often a key factor when choosing where to dine, and this place excels in that aspect. It's always pleasing when a restaurant caters to families, making it accessible and welcoming for all ages. Furthermore, a diverse menu ensures everyone can find something they'll enjoy. Overall, it sounds like a truly fantastic dining experience.

30/08/2025: Fantastic pasta. The best I've ever had. Highly recommend

22/08/2025: Note: one star less for the ambiance only because it is on a narrow street with traffic passing by. But food and service are perfect. We will return.

15/08/2025: Excellent experience in every detail.

11/06/2025: In my opinion, the best pastry shop in Palermo... we've been customers of Mr. Di Maio for a good 30 years now... beyond the passion and professionalism, the high quality of the products made with the freshest ingredients, the custard on the cakes is something beyond description. Congratulations to Mr. Girolamo ☺️🍰🎂

14/10/2025: The appetizers were very good and the atmosphere was lovely. I have to say I was a bit disappointed with the entrees, which were definitely not worth the price.

11/10/2025: Wonderful meal Sat and had a leisurely lunch in a lovely garden . An oasis in a busy city, highly recommend.

02/12/2025: Magical place, visited by the puppets, very suggestive

28/11/2025: A very interesting museum that deserves more time to visit, which currently only lasts 30 minutes. The audio guide is not at all comprehensive, and it would have been better to have a professional guide who, accompanying the visit, could explain the collections in more detail, giving visitors more time to better appreciate the particular works on display.
