I migliori ristoranti di cucina italiana in Palermo

14/10/2025: Excellent quality and cleanliness, highly trained staff

10/10/2025: I believe that when there's passion, commitment, dedication, professionalism, and experience, it all comes together. Excellent food is prepared with quality ingredients and served to customers with every guarantee imaginable. This principle, in these times, is no small thing. Add to this the quality of service that I would describe as high standards. The environment automatically selects and contributes to elevating the customer base. Top.

26/09/2025: I can say for myself that this is the best breakfast in Palermo.

20/09/2025: Pasticceria Ricupera is one of the most famous in Palermo not only for everything related to pastry but also for the typical Palermo rotisserie with table service and professional and courteous staff.

10/10/2025: Disastrous change of management: we sat outside for about 20 minutes without anyone coming to take our order, then finally a waiter came out and sat at the next table to relax! He got up and left! Unbelievable!

30/09/2025: The man who served us was very nice. He gave us a taste of the sweets so we could choose which one we wanted to buy. It's definitely a very family-friendly, Sicilian, and good place. I highly recommend it!

29/08/2025: Very good, artisanal bread... in Rome we'd say "like the ones from the past," but we're in Sicily, so it's fitting! The shop feels like a throwback to the past. The baker himself served us... hats off!!!! Delicious rolls, the milky brioche ones 🥐 top

06/12/2025: Nice place, nice atmosphere, good cocktails, friendly staff, but at the cashier they refuse/complain about doing separate bills and let others go through just to avoid doing the bills.

05/12/2025: The place is nice, but you should improve your staffing. When we arrived, we put ourselves on the list for a table, and after an hour of calling out the names on the list, the very kind bald man, Gaetano, decides to seat his friends with names called repeatedly, making them sit ahead of everyone else. First of all, there's no need to point out the disrespect shown by all the people who had been waiting for a long time. When we pointed out what had happened, having seen, heard, and witnessed the conversation, instead of apologizing, he raised his voice, claiming we had misunderstood. Despite this, it wasn't over yet; he came out of the place to tell us that the negative reviews don't matter to him anyway. Hahaha, no doubt about it, but they'll definitely never see us again.

09/12/2025: I chose fish as a base, everything was really excellent and plentiful.

15/10/2025: Very good food and friendly staff 😃

15/10/2025: Good fresh produce, delicious calamari, very good house wine, and very friendly service.

29/09/2025: We ordered amatriciana and carbonara. Both dishes were terribly salty. The bacon was overcooked, leaving a lot of fat on the plate. Unfortunately, I got sick after the amatriciana and spent the evening in the bathroom. Something was clearly stale. I do not recommend this restaurant.

08/10/2025: Bought the chicken for the first time, delicious, excellent and the baked potatoes were special, the staff were very polite.

17/09/2025: The chicken is always delicious and a good size, the sauce is delicious, and the baked and fried potatoes are excellent! Plus, you get free small pieces of rotisserie (mini pizzas and arancini)—very good! Recommended!

03/01/2026: A fantastic enoteca with an exceptional selection of wines, especially champagne 🍾. The owner is incredibly kind and takes the time to guide you through the diverse wine options, ensuring you make the perfect choice for your purchase. Update: This place remains just as great as ever. The service is still amazing, and in addition to the outstanding wine list, they serve fantastic Caspian black caviar — perfectly paired with simple snacks, pastries, or whatever you prefer. The champagne selection is still excellent, with great choices for every taste. The owner continues to be incredibly kind and attentive, always happy to guide you and help you choose the perfect wine for the moment. A truly special enoteca worth returning to again and again.

29/12/2025: Great selection of wines and spirits, very well organized. Food was SUPER good. Great preparation. Very good rapport of quality and rice. The staff was super accogliente. Thanks!

02/01/2026: I don't usually write reviews. The last time was a couple of years ago for a large warehouse store in Catania, where no one answered the phone. I mixed this with something else, but this is still the most read, and they still hate me. But I can't help it. I was there this December 31, 2025, for New Year's Eve. I was used to the old management, where all the old-fashioned farming tools hung on the walls, true peasant culture of the past. I hope they've ended up in a museum. So everything's been repainted but bare, it feels like a service station, but that's the manager's decision. I can't expect to eat with a copy of Botticelli's Venus displayed in the Pitti Palace in Florence in front of me. But not with a worse view either. The food was decent, let's say, given that in these cases you have to serve mass-produced food. Service for the day was quick. What I didn't like: My table was the closest as the crow flies to Djay. But to his left, so I could hear distorted music, which was horrible for me. For someone like me, now retired, who as a hobby sells online, high-fidelity equipment, especially vintage for home and other purposes, throughout Europe upon request, even in China, Russia (before the war), and even America—this was when certain objects were owned by me and only me in the entire world. It wasn't pleasant to my ear, accustomed to much higher quality music, but for one evening it was fine. But I had different music. Nothing between me and the DJ, just space to dance with a constant crowd of jumping and screaming children. Why would I go to the lido in the summer and pay to avoid all this? I might as well go to the public beach and get kicked by balls and sand from other people's running children. It wasn't a peaceful meal. But the worst of all was the table reserved for me. Far from a Botticelli painting, the worst view, because within three, if not two, meters of the bathroom entrance, there were no other tables. The closest was mine, with a crowd coming and going. And if they were occupied, a crowd of standing statues waiting next to me. No. I'm sorry. That's the place where some restaurants, with humanity, feed the needy, without charging. THE place of the poor. If you put me there in Sicilian, you don't have a nose, but the soul of the shopkeeper counting pennies in the back room. And you can't make me look like a poor man twice over by sending someone who looked like the head waiter to tell me we were the only ones left who hadn't paid yet. And he even had a surprised look on his face! As if we were out of place! It's the restaurant that's totally out of place in terms of manners. It's normal for me to pay at the exit, as I've always done. Under the old management, where I've been hundreds of times, they didn't ask me to pay first; they rolled out the red carpet for me. I went to pay. Without opening my wallet to show my credit cards. That would have been ostentatious. In cash to show I had the money, and it's there. If I did it out of contempt, it's pointless to say, because they didn't understand. If I had to go from Bolognetta, where I have a second home, to Marineo, if there were a slip road, I'd take it. There isn't one. I'll just walk by without looking.

09/12/2025: Very welcoming place, spectacular cuisine and very friendly and highly professional staff!!!!!!

01/02/2026: I have been here for a cooking class here and it has been amazing. So fun and very easy instructions to follow✨ loved how chef and su chef carried out the whole session. Delicious food in the end!

02/01/2026: A wonderful place, great service, delicious food. I highly recommend it. It's our discovery this year.

11/01/2026: Slow service, unwelcoming staff, average pub food. The atmosphere, however, is very nice.

10/01/2026: Their dishes are delicious, especially the meat, and the staff is extremely friendly. Live music and a relaxed atmosphere await you.

18/09/2025: I'm a regular, often coming for the spleen sandwich, but today the service was terrible: three employees at the counter, the place empty, I repeatedly asked to pay immediately so as not to miss my train, and I was completely ignored. The sandwich was served raw and with day-old bread. This is not normal treatment, especially towards someone who has trusted and paid for it for a long time. I'm posting this negative review because I felt cheated, I got upset, and I even risked missing my train. If the place wants to make up for it with an adequate refund (not just the cost of the sandwich), I'll be willing to remove this review.

07/09/2025: Place mostly for take-out food, let's say you eat outside on the sidewalk there is no space inside, in fact I rated the environment three stars for this reason, the girls are nice and good, attentive, the food is good and they were fast I recommend it 👍

01/06/2025: I ate a very good sandwich..I recommend it ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
