I migliori ristoranti di cucina mediterranea in Palermo

14/10/2025: Porta TERRIBLE. The setting is lovely and the service okay. The staff were polite. All the makings of a decent restaurant here. But the food is beyond abysmal. AVOID. I struggle to describe what an insult to Italian cuisine this place is, even to an ignorant British tourist like myself. Stale supermarket bread, frozen reconstituted mashed potatoes advertised as roasted, a ‘mixed salad’ consisting of enormous chunks of iceberg lettuce and tinned sweetcorn; and, to add insult to injury, a primo of tortellini that was no better (and possibly worse) than a £2 bag of fresh ravioli from Tesco. This was quite simply the worst Italian meal I have ever had—your local British cafe will do better. I wish I could be more positive.

13/10/2025: Dinner at Porta Terra Restaurant in the heart of Cefalù. An elegant and refined venue, with truly excellent service: friendly, professional, and very attentive staff. The Sicilian appetizer, though a bit small in quantity, was nevertheless good and beautifully presented. The other courses were also tasty and well-prepared, with quality ingredients. The only downside was the slightly high bill for the portions. Overall, however, the experience was positive, thanks to the pleasant atmosphere and excellent service.

02/09/2025: Superb quality. Courtesy, professionalism, nothing is missing. The live streaming from the kitchen is a sign of transparency I appreciate. I've been there several times and it never misses a beat: a guarantee.

29/08/2025: The pizza is good and the prices are generally acceptable.

03/10/2025: Kindness and gastronomic mastery

30/09/2025: A local place with great food and pleasant atmosphere. The food was delicious and the service was kind and friendly. I really liked the decoration as well.

10/09/2025: A pleasant surprise! From the outside, it didn't look appealing at all, yet something about it appealed to me, and my expectations weren't disappointed. Compliments to the chef! I also tried it in person, which was a must.

24/08/2025: La Perla restaurant is truly one of the best restaurants in the area. Compliments to the chefs 👨‍🍳 Compliments to the owners!! Truly fantastic!!👍🥂 Thank you so much for finishing with a delicious Amaro 👌

15/10/2025: Fantastic atmosphere and great food.

05/10/2025: Excellent shellfish and macaroni

01/10/2025: Excellent place to have lunch and/or sample fresh dishes and local specialties. Excellent express pasta of the day and excellent appetizers.. Friendly staff and fairly complete cuisine.. It doesn't excel in speed of service but it is rewarded by the environment which offers large screens where you can watch video music and/or programmes.. Still reasonable prices in line for those who want to have lunch/eat at a reasonable price.. I recommend it..

29/09/2025: Wholemeal croissant with wonderful honey, perfect cappuccino, clean, elegant and relaxing place, polite and very professional staff, I highly recommend

13/10/2025: The food was good but nothing special; the dishes weren't generous enough. The carbonara lacked meat. The tiramisu was more like a Nopolitan. The price was very reasonable.

10/10/2025: Ambiance good, food bad, but not disgusting

20/10/2025: I went to lunch with five friends. We had high expectations since it had been recommended to us, but we immediately noticed the tomato-stained tablecloth from the previous service. We asked for a change, and they did, justifying themselves by saying that our colleague had had lunch shortly before; an apology and a change with a smile would have been enough. We ordered our dishes, repeatedly specifying that we wouldn't like pepper on our dishes since two of our friends don't eat it for health reasons. The waiter assured us they wouldn't add it. The three appetizers were full of pepper. We then politely asked again to leave the pepper out and bring it on the side, but one of the two main courses was again full of pepper. They replied that's how they prepare them. We don't recommend the octopus salad because it was quite tough. The grilled catch of the day, however, was good. In the end, they didn't even give us a small discount or offer us a coffee or liqueur. The bill was €32 each, including a liter of house wine.

18/10/2025: Delicious, fresh grilled fish, albeit carelessly served. Grumpy service. And €3 for a limoncello.

05/08/2025: Delight 😋 Exquisite flavor 🙌👍👌🍕 and excellent location 🥰

22/06/2025: Top estaurant. Highly recommended

10/10/2025: I've never written reviews. But the boys deserve it. It's always a confirmation.

28/09/2025: Very good chicken and veal kebab potatoes 🥔 extraordinary I will return 😘😘😘
