I migliori ristoranti di cucina italiana in Palermo

10/01/2026: Four of us had dinner: two with Smartbox and two of my guests. After reviewing the menu, we discovered that only a few appetizers and main courses were available that evening. My guests opted for only one first course: busiate pasta with Nebrodi pork sausage. The dishes arrived quickly, especially since there were very few of us in the dining room. The bill: €72.00 for two plates of busiate pasta and two tiramisu dishes for the guests. Furthermore, the total included two covers prepaid via Smartbox, which I found unfair. I didn't say anything. The food quality was average, with probably excessive salt use. The location could be improved, and the service was basic. On a positive note, the young cashier/waiter/handyman was courteous and helpful, although unfortunately not very knowledgeable about the menu. Overall, a decent experience, but with several aspects that need improvement.

06/01/2026: We ate there on September 19, 2025, and everything was perfect. The pasta carbonara was delicious 😋

31/12/2025: the cannolo is an extra-sensory experience

22/12/2025: Sooner or later I'd like to try this famous cannolo even though I live in the province of Messina and therefore a bit far away, but everyone speaks highly of it and I also really like Luca the owner, he seems like a simple guy.

24/01/2026: I had the pleasure of dining at this amazing farm-to-table restaurant multiple times, and I can't recommend it enough! The food is absolutely delicious, with every dish showcasing the freshest ingredients that you can truly taste. The restaurant is situated in a beautiful location, surrounded by fresh air and breathtaking views that enhance the dining experience. The atmosphere is excellent, making it the perfect spot for a relaxing meal or a special occasion. If you're looking for a great culinary experience in a stunning setting, this place is a must-visit!

07/01/2026: Agriturismo located in the Marineo countryside, a rustic place steeped in history where the food is delicious and refined. Affordable fixed-price Sunday menus include a selection of delicious appetizers as well as first and second courses expertly prepared by chef Ciro Princiotta. Visit in spring and summer to enjoy the beauty and freshness of the countryside. An experience worth trying, or, in my case, repeating. From your Filippo Livorno, aka Tigerman.

15/11/2025: A place where everything is gluten-free: perfect for celiacs. Both the cannoli and the genovese (try both with ricotta) are out of this world. I could compare them to Totti's chip goal at San Siro. The sandwiches and arancini are also very good. Suitable for breakfast, afternoon snacks, lunch, and dinner. The staff is friendly and accommodating. Highly recommended.

15/11/2025: Top Top!!!! Excellent gluten-free pastries!!!!

20/12/2025: Beautiful, clean, elegant, and welcoming venue. Friendly and helpful staff, excellent service, and delicious food. A real find in the heart of Palermo. I highly recommend it if you want to spend an evening enjoying delicious dishes and feeling pampered.

09/12/2025: Beautiful table, everything was perfect. However, it was incomprehensible how to access a wine list. I wanted to order a nice bottle, but ended up with just a glass. What a shame.

06/09/2025: We stopped by for a drink. Tonic water was flat, we told them but they don’t seem to care. Pretty laid back staff.

05/09/2025: Tabarin in Palermo is a venue that captures the essence of the city: welcoming, lively, and atmospheric. Located in the heart of the historic center, it's perfect for those seeking a mix of culture, good food, and excellent cocktails. The atmosphere is elegant yet informal, ideal for a relaxed evening or a daytime stop. The cuisine offers traditional Sicilian dishes, prepared with fresh, quality ingredients. The varied menu is suitable for all tastes, with a selection of appetizers, first courses, and traditional dishes that never disappoint. The service is attentive and courteous, making the experience even more enjoyable. The staff is always ready to recommend a good local wine or a special cocktail, creating a convivial and friendly atmosphere. Perfect for an aperitif with friends, a romantic dinner, or an evening with friends, Tabarin is undoubtedly one of Palermo's gems, a place where you can feel at home while savoring Sicilian specialties.

27/12/2025: We had lunch on a Saturday early afternoon. The hosts are nice, but the food was nothingf more than acceptable. We had gone for pizzas but were told that Italians only have pizza at dinner. The furnishings are modest, lots of plastic everywhere.

15/11/2025: Excellent local cuisine with zero-mile ingredients, a typically Sicilian welcome and a comfortable location

12/01/2026: It's an evocative place Definitely worth a visit

12/01/2026: Worth seeing, but the streets are a bit dirty, Wasn't the best thing we saw in Palermo

12/01/2026: A very friendly and authentic restaurant, a culinary and sensory journey to Tunisia. The atmosphere and aromas made us feel like we were at a Tunisian family's home, not a restaurant! The very kind and welcoming chef prepares and manages everything himself. The dishes were prepared with so much love and flavor; it truly leaves a lasting impression. We'd go back a thousand times! An unforgettable experience in Palermo! Thank you again to the Chef!

06/01/2026: The fish couscous was good, the house appetizer was excellent, the owners were very kind. Recommended.

22/01/2026: Everything was really good. You immediately felt at home...

12/01/2026: Heated environment, friendly staff, excellent food, thank you very much

21/12/2025: The best place in Sicily. Amazing food, especially ragu and con la sarde. Great service, very kind, very helpful. Farhad was particularly kind offering a birthday cake, very thoughtful and professional. He made our time!! Also the chief waiter was the kindest, very knowledgeable and has great recommendations. Strongly recommended.

19/12/2025: Our family had the foacaccia, calamari, steak, and seafood pasta. They were all excellent. The ambience, atmosphere, and service was all equally as excellent as the food. Highly recommend.

22/09/2025: I've been here several times. Always very good, simple local cuisine, and the staff are very friendly. I recommend it to everyone. P.S. Park wherever you can and walk to the restaurant to avoid problems. A walk back after a large meal will do you good. While waiting for your food, there's a butcher shop next door that sells excellent raw sausages.

12/09/2025: Excellent food and service 10 out of 10

30/12/2025: It's like walking into a never-ending Rush. Everything is elegant, the service is good, and there's always room for improvement. Congratulations! 👏

09/12/2025: We celebrated my daughter's 18th birthday on Saturday. IT WAS A FAIRY TALE❤️. EVERYTHING WAS BEAUTIFUL, DOWN TO THE tiniest detail, FROM THE LOCATION TO THE FOOD TO THE PROFESSIONALISM AND COURTESY OF GIULIANA AND MARCO. I WOULD CHOOSE YOU 1000 TIMES AGAIN.

03/11/2025: A family-run workshop that produces biscuits, cannoli, and cannelloni. I especially enjoyed the latter, which were very soft and perfectly fried.

01/11/2025: Fantastic cannoli. We’ve come here 4 days in a row for breakfast cannoli or Catorccini (ricotta donuts). Almond biscuits are also great. They weigh and add up everything correctly, and very friendly to tourists.

09/01/2026: We had dinner here two nights in a row. Both nights were excellent! Not only because of the generous and delicious food, but also the very kind and professional lady serving us. Cosy and genuine atmosphere. Highly recommend!

08/01/2026: A tavern offering traditional dishes prepared with fresh, quality ingredients. The atmosphere is intimate and welcoming, ideal for a quiet dinner. Friendly service and tasty dishes are perfect for a relaxing evening.
