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.

10/10The 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.

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.

10/10Yoooo 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.🙏🏻☺️

10/10This is the best dinner we had in Sicily. The food is both interesting and delicious. We paid over double at other restaurants and they were a disappointment in comparison. We had five tapas and a bottle of wine between two and the bill was €75. The service is excellent and the interior is well designed. It’s absolutely worth a visit.

thank you so much guys! it was a pleasure to have you again :)

8/10Lovely restaurant hidden away down a side street. Staff very welcoming and the food was very nice too. Unfortunately it was empty apart from us, so it felt a bit awkward. Definitely worth a visit.

6.5/10Atmosphere was cool and the attention by the waiter team was even better. However, portions are quite smaller than we expected according to the price. Quality might be great, but tastes and quantity not. We got a discount thankfully which was great and made the bill reasonable, otherwise we would regret.

10/10Really nice and helpful couple that have a good cook in the kitchen! We recommend this cosy restaurant!! Really nice starters, we ordered a few and a second dish. It is not really a tapas bar (with a lot of small dishes) but they serve very nice food!

10/10Till now, we visited probably 10 restaurants in Sicily, but this was definitely the best one! I especially appreciate the food, the service and the music (at the most place the background music is really bad, but this was a nice electronic ambient). The must visit!
