Beautiful restaurant with incredible food. The service is spot on and a plus is being able to watch the chef plate your next course. We will be back for sure and will recommend to all our friends visiting Palermo

The service was not good. We dienst have the feeling that we were welcome. We had the feeling that we needed to be out of there asap. The food itself was mostly tasteful but we did not get any explanation of what was in our plate. The ‘chefs vegetable’ dish was super dissapointing. In a season with a lot of vegetables in the market (where we went in the morning) the chef could have used much more season vegetables instead of broccoli, 2 kind of onuitstaanbaar and one mushroom. Overall a really dissapointing last evening of our holiday.

The food was excellent but the service was not. I really do not want to give a negative review but I booked this restaurant because it had such a high score and I would like to give an honest review. Great food, great ingredients but very poor service, they barely even acknowledged us.

Service was great, food was truly mee- pasta made from the package sir sure. ( the kitchen is open and was visible from the table). I ordered the duck, and was not only hard and chewy, but the flavors were wrong. Our waiter was great and she asked me what was wrong and offered to exchange my dish for any other. Which Idid. And replacement was good and tasty. Big thanks to that lady!

One of the best restaurants in Palermo. I went there for lunch with a group of American clients and we all enjoyed the quality of the food, the perfection of the service and, also, that we could see what the chef and his aids were cooking in the kitchen.

A lovely restaurant with excellent service. The food is well-presented and everything tasted great. The restaurant aesthetic was a bit dull. Overall, a great place for a meal.

Amazing food! Creative menu, delicious flavor combinations, Some of the most creative and beautiful plate presentation I have seen in a long time. The fresh bread was so good we ordered seconds (with olive oil). Wine was selected in alignment with our tastes. The service was incredibly attentive and helpful. The dining decor was tasteful and understated. All around a lovely experience and a place I will return.

We booked to celebrate a special event and were happy to pay the premium price. However, whilst the food was good - the service and atmosphere were not exactly what you’d expect from such a restaurant.

A stylish modern space in our favourite quarter of Palermo (near Piazza San Francesco) with warm service and inventive, delicious fusion food. I had tuna sashimi and the chef’s vegetable garden followed by the best canolo ever. With the Fork 20% off it came to around €50 per person, great value for a memorable meal.

The menu was concise, showing that the chef concentrates on his dishes seriously and there was something for every taste. The food is top notch, excellent flavours and combinations, as well as cooking and the portions are exactly right, not too much and not ridiculously tiny. The wines, even the less expensive, were very nice. The service was good but could do with a slight improvement. The ambience as well, with better/softer lighting and perhaps some table sets, could be improved. But this is just me being over zealous in my review. All in all it was an excellent evening and everyone was very happy. I will certainly come back! Thank you.

The food and the service was good the place was beautiful, there was just one thing that I didn’t like, I booked the reservation through The fork to get a discount however when the check came they didn’t apply the discount and told me that the reservation came in without any discount I have to talk to the hotel manager to get the discount it was a very embarrassing moment to us. If the application says that there’s a discount, the restaurant should honor that discount regardless. At the end they did give me the discount but after they made me go through a very embarrassing moment and ruin my evening.
