Best places: Down home cooking restaurants in Palermo

👍👍 I ate there 3 times in a week. Outstanding kitchen and service. The artichoke pasta was to die for. The stick to the roof of your mouth cheesecake was dense and not overly sweet. Outstanding pasta vongole, swordfish, involtini, and calamari. Service was very friendly and helpful. Just a great neighb...

Cozy trattoria serving antipasti, pasta, seafood & traditional Sicilian dishes in an unfussy space.

👍👍 Really authentic experience and delicuous food!

👍👍 Just amazing! Nothing to see in Corleone sicilia but you need to go just for this restaurant. All antipasti were really homemade. Everything melts in your mouth. Wow !!

Local dishes & cocktails offered in a laid-back destination that has a bohemian courtyard.

👍👍 This was our best food experience in Palermo. We ordered pasta which was delicious, very high quality and very refined. The service was perfect and though there was a language barrier the woman who helped us was super smiley and nice to communicate with. She recommended great wine for us and helped...

👍 We had a wonderful dinner last night at Sapurito Cucina Povera in the Politeama. We started off with amazing stuffed zucchini blossoms. For main courses we had pasta con sarde, pasta con vongole, pasta con salsicce, and involtini with roast potatoes. To accompany our meal some had a Cataratto from...

👍👍 Real shame that we found thus gem on our last night. Totally delicious food in a gorgeous setting.

👍👍 Best Biryani in town! It's just like having a taste of Southern India here in Palermo. The owner of the restaurant is very kind and welcoming. Plus, the dinner was super cheap! Strongly recommended 👌

😠 They told me that there was a nice terrace and that this was traditional sicilian food but as you can see in the photo this was disaster compared to my expectations. As a tourist, I was surprised of the similarities between this restaurant and a local kebaberia. I am in shock.

🫤 Very disappointing. Our host recommended this local place to us, Google Reviews promised a lot. Unfortunately, we weren't quite happy. Service was bad - inattentive, unfriendliy, we waited for a long time until someone came for our order, food was forgotten... The pasta three of us ordered was not g...

👍👍 Last night we had a wonderful dinner at TrattoriaAltriTempi, a true locals restaurant in the Politeama. The menu is written in Sicilian, not Italian! Lucky for us, they had brand new English language menus. As soon as you sit down, they bring out a pitcher of white wine and 2 bottles of mineral wat...

Lively fixture with checkered tablecloths offering homestyle Sicilian soups, stews & salads.

Longstanding, rustic venue with outdoor tables, dishing up classic Sicilian pasta & seafood dishes.

😠 Very disappointing despite the reviews. Awful layout and poor atmosphere. A costy fix menu of €25 that feature quantity of food over a poor quality.

😠 THE WORST EXPERIENCE THAT I EVER HAD IN PALERMO. If your are not local be quite! Pay ATTENTION at the bill at the end of your meal. We had a fried fishes dishe to share (for two✌).. They charge 38 € Just the main course. We were speaking in English but I m local, so I was complained that with the bo...

😐 Piadine buone (si percepisce chiaramente al palato la qualità dei prodotti) ma talvolta gli ingredienti non sono ben equilibrati. I prezzi sono alti quindi si potrebbe pensare un rapporto qualità/prezzo non adeguato. Le ragazze comunque sono gentili. Da migliorare.

Warmly decorated rooms in a relaxed property with a restaurant, a bar & a fitness center.

😠 The high rating is undeserved. Cannot imagine that it has been achieved legitimately. The place is typical of a restaurant where tour guides take their groups for a commission. Food is below mediocre and not what you would expect in Palermo with its abundance of great places to eat.
