We had a very good meal at BrMa. the food was delicious, and the service was excellent. We enjoyed that our waiter shared information about Palermo with us!!

the appetizers we got were quite good but unfortunately both pastas that were ordered were awful. i got the fried zucchini one that had like 3 pieces of it, and was actually bitter. the noodle itself was also very very hard and doughy. the entrees took about 45 minutes to arrive. no one else besides us was in the restaurant for majority of our dining time, so as pretty as the restaurant was, the atmosphere wasn’t as nice since there wasn’t a lot of people at the restaurant.
Brama Cucina & Cocktail BarDear Customer, Thank you for your feedback. At 6:30 PM the restaurant is usually empty, as it is not a typical lunch or dinner time for most of our guests. Between 1:00–4:00 PM or 8:00–10:30 PM, you would likely find a much livelier atmosphere. Our pasta dishes are well-established and generally very popular, so we are surprised by your comments. Regarding the main courses, 45 minutes seems excessive compared to our standards; the actual waiting time may have been closer to half of that. In any case, our dishes are freshly prepared to order, not pre-cooked, which naturally requires proper preparation time. We are sorry that your overall experience did not fully meet your expectations and we hope you will give us another opportunity to change your mind. Kind regards.

Brama Cucina & Cocktail BarDear Customer, Thank you very much for sharing your experience with us. We are delighted that you chose to visit us for the quality of our food and that you enjoyed it. We are sorry to hear that the service was a bit slow. Unfortunately, we had an event upstairs with 40 guests who arrived later than expected, which made the kitchen organization a bit more challenging. Nevertheless, your feedback is very important to us and helps us improve every day. At the same time, we are pleased to know that our staff was kind and helpful in providing you with information about Palermo — for us, hospitality is just as important as our cuisine. We hope to welcome you again soon and provide you with an even more enjoyable experience! 😊

The best food we’ve had in a long time. Authentic Sicilian and Italian dishes with an innovative twist. We decided half way through our meal that we’re going to go back tomorrow. What a terrific place! The very best food and cocktails in a modern and fairly unassuming setting. I’d give it 6 stars out of 5.

Good food service can be improved
Brama Cucina & Cocktail BarThank you for your feedback! We're glad you enjoyed the food and appreciate your comments about the service. We're always working to improve, and your feedback helps us understand where we can improve. Unfortunately, yesterday, two of our dining room staff were unavailable just before service began for personal reasons, and we had to make the best of it.

Very tasty food in a quiet, atmospheric square. The waiters were very friendly and efficient. Really enjoyed the stuffed squid. The cocktails were too good! amongst all the great restaurants we've been to in Palermo, this is our favourite and we're going back tomorrow.

The food at Brama Cucina was amazing — truly the highlight of the night. However, the overall experience was disappointing due to the service and management. There was no consistent communication between the bar, the manager, and the server. I first ordered a Cabernet Sauvignon, only to be told they didn’t have it. I ordered another bottle, and again, they came back saying it wasn’t available. When I asked how much the replacement bottle they suggested would cost, I received attitude and unpleasant looks from the server. We ended up with a bottle we didn’t really want. While we were dining outside, both the manager and the server stood nearby, watching us closely, which made it uncomfortable to even have a conversation. To make matters worse, the server repeatedly bumped into my chair every time he walked past. The manager also seemed to be micromanaging the server, which created an awkward dynamic. So the food was excellent but the service left much to be desired.
Brama Cucina & Cocktail BarThank you for sharing your experience and for your compliments on our food, which we're happy you enjoyed. We sincerely regret that the service didn't meet your expectations. We take communication issues and the attitude of our staff very seriously, and we will work to improve our order management and professionalism in the dining room. We hope to have another opportunity to offer you an experience that lives up to our culinary standards and to ensure you have a more pleasant and relaxed evening. Best regards,
