I migliori ristoranti in Palermo

04/06/2025: Se si chiede al banco di un qualsiasi ortofrutta “ha un meloncino, maturo per favore?” mi aspetto solo una di tre risposte: “sì”, “no” “o “non sono in grado di assicurarglielo”. Se a rispondere “sì” è il banco dell’ortofrutta di Prezzemolo e Vitale Mondello e non uno qualsiasi, bisogna fidarsi. Eppure io, avendo ospiti a cena con cui non volevo rischiare, ho insistito: “guardi che lo consumo subito…” ricevendone una ulteriore assicurazione. Risultato: il meloncino era “cucuzza”, come dicono in Sicilia. L’unico dubbio: al banco ortofrutta del negozio forse più blasonato di Palermo c’era una persona poco competente, o il poveretto sapeva benissimo cosa mi stava vendendo, ma aveva disposizioni di vendere anche a costo di dare informazioni sbagliate?

24/05/2025: Siamo stati in quello di via La Farina. Gastronomia con piatti bellissimi in pratica c’è tutta la cucina palermitana nelle vetrine Grande varietà di formaggi e di vini Sicuramente un negozio eccellente dove fare spesa. Discorso un po’ diverso se ci si mangia. La mia pasta (anellini) al forno è arrivata fredda. Sfincione buono ma non caldo Servizio lento

27/04/2025: We arrived in Bagheria from Noto with friends, we had dinner two consecutive evenings in this nice place located in a square with a beautiful church. The friendliness of Maurizio the waiter who recommended us some excellent sorbets was impressive. Active, a spinning top....the pizzas are excellent and of high quality. Definitely recommended.

21/08/2025: I was at this restaurant at the beginning of August, I ordered two courses and two appetizers, the flavor of each dish was excellent and the quantities of each course were very generous, only one small flaw in the service that cannot undermine how the evening went, very satisfied.

17/08/2025: Classic sandwich shop atmosphere, average prices, from my point of view (I'm not an expert) too many spices

29/04/2025: Historic location in Palermo as a nightclub, good pizza and efficient service, also good for birthdays and other private parties

27/04/2025: I only leave negative reviews in exceptional cases but yesterday we were disappointed Rudeness of the barman, after having paid 15 euros per person for the cocktail, first of all we requested a different tonic on the gin and we were asked to pay the addition (not for the gin that can fit but for the absurd tonic) leaving aside this questionable detail, we were only asked for a different glass from the one we were about to take and the answer was given to us (I DON'T KNOW YOU WANT TO TURN AND MAKE IT YOURSELF ?) NO COMMENT

30/07/2025: Wonderful place with panoramic view, good service, pizza to be reviewed, dough too classic with simple 00 flour

24/07/2025: The pizza is good, but the service is confusing and lacking in organization. They need someone to manage the dining room and more attentive staff. The view is beautiful, and the location is well-maintained.

23/08/2025: Terrible organization. No point in booking, as the table won't be ready. Mediocre food; you can definitely find much better in Palermo. The all-you-can-eat on Fridays is definitely not worth it, and be careful not to leave anything on your plate because you'll definitely be overcharged. The overcharge might be okay, but wasting so much precious time standing outside isn't. I'm surprised this place is still popular. Plus, it's super noisy.

23/08/2025: Unpleasant experience at Bites. Despite having a reservation, we arrived after about two hours. Staff were sparse and unhelpful. The pizzas arrived around 11:20 PM, when we were already very hungry and had little patience. Two stars for the food only for the salmon pizza; the other one was unclassifiable. Honestly, it's not a place I'd recommend.

07/06/2025: I ordered a chicken at 8:30 pm, it arrived at 10:30 pm. During these hours I called the chicken shop repeatedly who didn't even apologize for the delay, making a series of excuses one after the other. SERIOUSNESS 0. Not even 1 euro discount for the inconvenience caused to me. Shame on you.

06/04/2025: Really excellent chicken pizza, quality products and excellent pizza dough. Courteous and kind staff.

12/09/2025: The fish was absolutely fresh, everything was truly excellent.

11/09/2025: Excellent food, wonderful location. Recommended.

01/07/2025: Everything is pathetic. Tasteless food. Unprofessional service. The best part is the view. Not worth the price.

30/06/2025: We were very excited about this Michelin-starred restaurant, but unfortunately, the experience was disappointing. From the beginning, we felt a lack of attention and patience from the staff, especially since we didn't speak the same language. We asked the price of the bottle of wine they offered us, and the response was awkward and unprofessional. Throughout the meal, the service was distant and rushed. The food didn't meet our expectations: we found the raw fish dish bland, and the pasta was dominated by the lemon flavor, masking the taste of the tuna. The waitress poured the rest of the wine into our glasses without asking, excessively, and we felt like they wanted us to leave. When we finished, we weren't offered desserts or other dishes, and we heard loud comments about "the Spanish" that made us feel uncomfortable and judged. In the end, we noticed an error on the bill for an extra bottle of water. We left with a very bad taste in our mouths, disappointed by what we had hoped was a special experience.

31/07/2025: This is by far the best Italien food we had in Sicily. Very very friendly great Service. We went there several times. Just great. A big recommendation!

25/07/2025: The food was lacking salt, the waiting times were long, and the sandwich was missing mozzarella…

24/08/2025: I had mediocre gelato...at this gelateria I had some of the best gelato in Palermo...I remember you were among the first to offer Sicilian pistachios, and for me you were the best...but now, unfortunately (for me), it's just a sad memory. I hope this was a constructive review, and I hope to return to eat the best gelato.

20/08/2025: Very nice bar with a wide variety of gelato flavors! Outdoor seating with or without table service! Good coffee!

28/06/2025: Locale che era considerato fra i migliori diversi anni fa. Un martedì sera di giugno, tavolo x 4 prenotato per le 21,30. Arrivati puntualmente il locale è pieno c'è un solo tavolo libero (bene per i titolari). Ci fanno accomodare senza chiedere nulla, specifico che c'era la prenotazione, mi si dice che non importa. Veniamo avvisati che ci sarà molto da aspettare per l'ordinazione e così avviene. Peccato che diversi tavoli, occupati successivamente a noi, vengono serviti abbondantemente prima! Lo evidenziamo, senza risposta. Alla fine quando giungono i piatti in tre mangiamo regolarmente, al quarto commensale il primo sarà servito dopo diversi solleciti e a cena finita dagli altri. Tra l'altro, ma questo non è importante, il piatto servito non raggiungeva i centro grammi, i piatti che vedevamo passare erano di quantità ragguardevoli. Una gestione che fa diventare irrilevante la qualità dei piatti ed i prezzi. Avevo ben altri ricordi di questo locale.... Evidentemente o eravamo antipatici o non conoscevamo nessuno!

24/06/2025: Il cibo nella norma, niente di esaltante, accettabile. Ma la cosa che non mi è piaciuta per niente è i modi scortesi che ha uno dei titolari. Un area di superficialità, immotivata. Ripeto, il cibo nella norma, la cordialità non la fa da padrone
