8.5/10the waiter is great. but we had a birthday and there was no congratulatory piece of cake, nothing, it's strange in the restaurant business. and there is nothing for people who do not eat meat and fish. but we liked it 🥰

8/10We had a pleasant experience at Ai Normanni. The food was good—nicely prepared and enjoyable, though not particularly memorable or outstanding. What truly stood out was the excellent service: warm, attentive, and very professional. The staff made us feel welcome and well taken care of throughout our visit. The ambiance was also pleasant, with a comfortable and relaxed atmosphere. All in all, a solid choice for a nice evening out, especially if you value friendly and competent service.

7/10Whilst the food was very nice, the restaurant was almost empty and this affected the ambiance. Although located near the Norman Palace, it was a little away from the main tourist area at night.

8/10We really enjoyed our food and the service was very good. Sadly the dining room lacked atmosphere . I am sure that sitting outside in the court yard weather permitting would have been a more memorable experience.

10/10This was a delightful and delicious experience. The restaurant is beautiful; the food is elevated without being precious; and the service is friendly and attentive without being intrusive. 10 stars if possible.

8.5/10Very nice restaurant, away from the busy streets of Palermo, with delicious food and great service. My pasta, tubi with catch of the day, was top of the bill, so was the pasta of the day, and the linguini with Tonno eggs. The main course was tasteful, but not as amazing as the starter, and we closed with a nice dessert, tiramisu and pudding with lemon and almonds. The hosts were very nice, friendly, patiently explaining the menu and with helpful advise.

6.5/10The restaurant room was a bit sterile in decor and lacked ambience. Service was friendly enough but everything was on an app on your phone, which was annoying. Food was fine.

7/10The food was good, the wine was good. The service was very slow. It took over half an hour to get our order taken and we were still receiving our starter after one and a half hours.

9.5/10Lovely restaurant literally downstairs from our apartment. Friendly staff, specialises in local specialities but also had options of more “ traditional “ pasta dishes for our less adventurous teen. Delicious food and the chance to try new dishes

10/10A lovely, calm, cool oasis on a hot summer day in Palermo. This was our second visit and it did not disappoint. This slightly hidden gem is very close to the Norman Palace and only a 10 minute walk from the Duomo and 10 more minutes to the Quattro Canti. The proprietress, chef and staff are all very attentive. They were most accommodating of my gluten and lactose allergies. We will absolutely be back when we return to Palermo! Grazie Tantissimo!

7/10Food is very good . But Take care - the reservation address is not correct. There are 2 “piazza della Vittoria” and if you just click on the link you get with the reservation confirmation you will go 30min away walking from the real place. Thanks

7/10The starters were good One Main course; sausages was OK. The other; Tuna was bland. Only 3 whitewines, all local. Service OK and prices average.
Ai Normanni • Owner
Dear Jon, thank you for your feedback. This kind of comments help us to improve our service. Sorry for the inconvenience with the wine, due to a delay in monthly delivery (maybe, related to the holidays). As regards the Tuna, we use to avoid any salt in the fish, keeping its sapidity, but we will keep in mind you suggestion. We do hope to see you again and to let you experience a wide white wine list. Best wishes Marilena & Marco
