10/10Food here was absolutely delicious. It’s slightly off the main road so not super busy. Highly recommend the octopus, the Korean chicken and the fried fish.

7/10Food was very good, but service terribly slow and the place was too hot, they did not put the a/c on low even when we asked several times and we were the only clients at the restaurant.

The food was excellent, definitely in my top 3 restaurants in Palermo over the past five months. The service was one of the best I’ve experienced in Palermo during these five months. Go here if you want to have a great evening ❤️

9/10Very good tapas with yummy 😋 flavours. Music was great for us and warm staff. Got on well with them and thought I had Sicilian attitude which was a bonus for me.

Everything exceeded our expectations! We have both been in the restaurant business for years and can’t stop raving about it! The Bao is not to be missed! One of our favorites in Palermo.

9/10Went there on my last day in Palermo. Super restaurant away from the noisy and touristic spots. Food was great and sharing tapas was refreshing after eating pasta/pizza for a whole week. Cocktails were amazing and prepared meticulously. Service was perfect, staff was super friendly and nice.

Yoooo what are you waiting for the food was exceptional honestly haven’t had tapas where I felt like every plate was made to be perfect, I’m writing this review a day after and my mouth is watering!! I think the location is just a minute off the “main” road and that’s why it haven’t gotten the attention it deserves. Book it. Now. I’m telling ya

10/10I loved this restaurant. It had beautiful Sicilian dishes but with a welcome twist from the dishes available elsewhere in town. I had squid ink pasta but with an amazing clarity of lemon, butter and seafood. Surprisingly that had both a Korean and Japanese chicken dishes that were far elevated above the normal versions of those dishes. Amazing caramelised chicken skin flavour in both with fantastic garnishees. The waiter as also very friendly and helpful with the wines. You may have to wait slightly longer for your food here but it is well worth it. I also liked the location in a quiet piazza away from the main Maqueda. I’m disappointed I can’t return when passing through Palermo as it seems to just open in the evenings.

5/10Pricey for the portions. Nothing was exceptional save the Korean fried chicken which was outstanding.
Borgese Tapas Bar • Owner
We are sorry that you did not appreciate our cuisine, with the exception of the KOREAN CHICKEN. As for the portions, they are "tapas". By definition they are "portions" to be shared. Anyway, thanks for the review anyway.🙏🏻☺️
