I migliori ristoranti di cucina italiana in Palermo

25/02/2026: The best chicken in Palermo... in my opinion, of course, the rotisserie also deserves it, applause to the owner who is attentive to the customer.

22/02/2026: Impeccable service from start to finish.

30/09/2025: I was very satisfied with my experience at Zancos. It's a place suitable for all occasions, both formal and informal. This time, we decided to celebrate a family member's birthday. The staff was helpful and friendly throughout the service. I'd particularly like to mention the sandwich with a beef burger, cheese, mushrooms, white truffle cream, and arugula. I highly recommend it! A mix of ingredients that really go together. You can also choose between fries or grilled vegetables (for an additional fee) as a side dish. The restaurant also offers cuts of meat, such as Angus, as well as a wide selection of appetizers. The Zancos fries with aged Parmigiano Reggiano cream and bacon are definitely worth a try. Thank you!

18/09/2025: I go to Palermo for work three or four times a year and stop at my sister's place, which is 100 meters from the restaurant... I have to say, I'd never been before, and it was a surprise because the food is really good! Reasonable prices, portions that are good for two... I had a heifer accompanied by rice and vegetables with sauces, everything delicious! The potatoes were also superb, perfectly seasoned with sauces and speck. Highly recommended!

27/02/2026: Quiet hotel, ideal for relaxing after a busy day

08/10/2025: I didn't stay at the hotel. I got pizza to go. Two pizzas and a beer cost 16 euros. It's not that expensive. The pizza was a little salty, but not bad.

06/01/2026: In Cefalù, a beautiful location, based on my experiences (maybe I attract them) and a place where it is very difficult, if not impossible, to eat well, perhaps tonight has hit rock bottom or almost, starting from the fact that with the appetizers still on the table they bring you the following courses, not because of speed of service, but rather because of a lack of communication between the kitchen and the dining room, with the waiter who did not know where to put the dishes, (appetizers a little above average) they bring my friend at the table the pasta with sardines that seems like the one from the cans that the brothers side dish in Palermo make, I had ordered a mushroom risotto (it was supposed to be with seafood, but alas they had run out of mussels and clams), my negligence did not read that there were pistachio nuggets, but the risotto that arrived at my table seemed only pistachio and some traces of mushrooms, totally tasteless so much so that I left it, as icing on the cake the kitchen was so quick that they forgot My friend's dish, grilled swordfish, I could go on, but I'll draw a veil of silence, reiterating that many of the places I've visited in Cefalù (again based on my experience) are fortunate to be located in a pearl of a seaside resort swarmed by tourists, and eating is still a must. The only positive note was the sommelier who served the drinks at the table.

25/12/2025: One of the worst experiences of our lives, a total disappointment that ruined our highly anticipated Sicily experience. We'd been recommended the adjacent restaurant, Il Gabbiano, but since it was closed, we settled on this one since it was the only one open. We ordered some truly tasteless appetizers. But after more than an hour of waiting, the main courses arrived, and there were truly no words: an insult to Italian and Sicilian cuisine. Raw spaghetti, stuck together, with a finger's worth of cooking water on the plate and no visible sauce. To top it all off, the staff kept arguing. Please stay away.

22/09/2025: Very nice beach, great sea, and friendly staff. The food was good too.

14/09/2025: We're not there yet; arrogance reigns supreme here. Chaos and nervousness don't help customers relax. Not recommended.

25/02/2026: Incompetent pizza chef, it took half an hour to bake four pizzas, and of course the takeout pizzas were already cold before we even left the place. Never again.

04/02/2026: I've been there several times, excellent pizza, welcoming place, accompanied by Pietro's excellent music, I think we'll return this week, probably on Friday.

05/09/2025: I can confirm that the quality of the raw material used is really fresh, the owner and his collaborators are truly exquisite. Nice location.

04/09/2025: Beautiful experience, impeccable service, very fresh fish and superlative lobster linguine.

06/02/2026: Ordered home delivery, on time and really excellent pizza. Well done.

06/12/2025: Pizza zero zero tomato access rubbery dough

30/10/2025: Good pizzas, warm welcome and courtesy.

23/02/2026: All delicious dishes featuring artichokes.

26/01/2026: Nothing exceptional, just the kind of place you go once and never want to return to. €30 is too much for the kind of lunch offered.

28/10/2025: We sat down and ordered a hot mixed salad, and four fries, two sausages, and three onion rings arrived for six euros. We forced ourselves to eat the pizza, which had sour tomato sauce. We ordered pasta with mussels, and a pinch of salt. The waiters didn't wear aprons, not to mention the service... and not only that, when we had to pay, they wouldn't even swipe our card, and they don't even have a proper cash register. I never recommend it again.

27/09/2025: Friendly, professional, excellent service, I will definitely be back

12/02/2026: Aside from the somewhat dark and subdued atmosphere, which I still find pleasant, it's a nice place with friendly staff and good food, with competitive prices and a wide selection on the menu. Highly recommended, but not suitable for large groups of more than 6 people, as the tables are a bit cramped. We go there often, even in the winter! 😉

15/10/2025: Average... Maybe the time of year (mid-October). Standard dish. Good (Sicilian) Syrah wine. Not too noisy since I was alone, until a young American couple moved in with their child; a future Trump, the little one with the vocal training of his parents...lol. Takes 9% off the bill... "servizio", not so cool! So, Meh...

30/11/2025: There is little to say, very kind people... excellent food, we will gladly return, thanks for everything

19/11/2025: Spaghetti and sandwich shop at Enzo Cucina. We dined at this simple restaurant, perfect for enjoying a beautiful sunny day just steps from the sea, yet warm and welcoming inside for cooler evenings. The three of us shared an appetizer of French fries (crispy and not at all greasy) and their famous spleen sandwich: truly one of the best we've ever had in Palermo, flavorful and perfectly balanced! We then ordered a kebab platter, a porchetta sandwich, and a piadina kebab: generous portions (really hard to finish) with quality ingredients. The food was well-seasoned, served hot, with a care that is rare. The service is noteworthy: fast, efficient, and courteous. We had everything at the table in just a few minutes. Excellent balance between quantity, flavor, and price. Highly recommended, we'll definitely be back!

14/03/2026: Very good pizza, super topped and very large. It was a nice discovery, I will definitely go back.

10/03/2026: Unfortunately, our experience with the service wasn't positive. The brunette woman who served us was rather rude and hasty, making us feel like we were almost in the way at that hour. Throughout the entire service, we didn't even see a smile, which makes the atmosphere unwelcoming for anyone entering a restaurant. It's a real shame, because the food is worth it: the seafood spaghetti was very good, and the Norma rolls were also truly excellent. While we were waiting for our dishes, some English tourists sat down. The same woman rather brusquely placed the menu on the table. After about 15 minutes, they decided to order a pizza, but the woman returned, saying in a stern tone that the pizza kitchen was already closed and that they could order something else (fish, meat, etc.). The tourists, rightfully annoyed, got up and left. It would have been much more appropriate to say so immediately when she brought the menu. It's a real shame, because the food is good, but the kindness and hospitality are part of the experience. For this reason, we won't be returning.

14/01/2026: Mirto Giovanni dal 1971 & C. S.A.S. is an Italian company that operates primarily in the hospitality sector as a bar and café. The establishment is known as Bar Mirto Giovanni, where it offers café services, pastries (especially Sicilian sweets), and light meals.

31/12/2025: Extremely expensive! Avoid. 12.50 for two cappuccinos, two pastries, and a small dessert.
