The canolo is a must try, even better than their speciality. We love the meatballs and risotto. The service was great, the toilet was clean, the staffs were lovely, friendly and attentive. Shame the payment by The Fork didn't work which is a little annoying but not the restaurant's fault. We had no space for dessert but will come back again to try the rest of the menu when we are back in Palermo.

8.5/10Ecellent food and good choice of wines. The rissoto was a standout as was the rolled swordfish. Plan to go again. A change from the usual choices available as the meals had very well balanced flavours.

5.5/10Waited over an hour and 15 minutes for two plates of pasta.
Enosteria Sicula • Owner
Timeline Reservation at 8:45 pm They sit down at 9:00 pm (sorry, it’s Saturday) They order at 9:15 pm 9:25 pm they receive the starter 9:50 pm they receive the pasta 10:15 pm they ask for the bill Enosteria Sicula always welcomes criticism when it is constructive and truthful. We never hesitate to raise our hand and apologize when mistakes are made — something that can certainly happen when working hard or when oversights occur. However, it is important to bring clarity to this situation.

Best food we have had in Palermo so far. Octopus Aranchini was fantastic!
Enosteria Sicula • Owner
Joe ❤️ thank you for your review and for calling our food the best you’ve had in Palermo. We’re delighted that our Arancinette with octopus ragù made your experience at Enosteria Sicula so special. In our Sicilian restaurant in Palermo, just a few steps from the Teatro Politeama, we share the culinary traditions of Sicily through dishes prepared with fresh, seasonal ingredients, combining authentic recipes with creative interpretations. Alongside our appetizers and seafood specialties, we serve gourmet arancini such as the Arancinette with octopus, one of the most appreciated dishes of our contemporary Sicilian cuisine, always paired with a curated selection of Sicilian wines that highlight the authentic flavors of our island ❤️

7.5/10The place is nice and the food too. But the service it's toooooo slow. We had a reservation at 21:30 and we finished eating at 23:15 (we eat fast, so the food arrived really late)
Enosteria Sicula • Owner
María ❤️, thank you for your feedback. We are glad that you enjoyed both the cuisine and the atmosphere at Enosteria Sicula. Regarding the timing, we would like to clarify that your dinner, which started at 9:30 pm and ended at 11:15 pm, lasted 1 hour and 45 minutes: an absolutely standard timeframe for a full dinner in a restaurant, especially considering that all our dishes are freshly cooked to order with high-quality ingredients. Our philosophy is to offer a relaxed and enjoyable dining experience, not a “fast” meal like in a fast food restaurant. We understand that you may have a different pace, but for most of our guests an attentive and well-paced service, designed to accompany the evening, is an essential part of the experience ❤️

10/10Great food very local food with a twist
Enosteria Sicula • Owner

At Enosteria Sicula, commitment is never lacking: every day we work with fresh, seasonal ingredients, carefully selected, to transform a meal into a real journey through the flavors of Sicily. Thank you also for noticing the strong connection with local tradition, this balance between roots and innovation is exactly what we aim for. Come visit us again soon. We look forward to welcoming you at Via Torrearsa 3, just behind the Politeama Theater in the heart of Palermo, for another food and wine experience that lives up to expectations ❤️

9/10High quality dishes. Traditional with a creative twist. Brilliant. Amongst an huge selection of restaurants all seemingly offering virtually the same menu, this restaurant is a superb dining option. Highly recommended. I expected more enthusiastic wine service as the wines on display were a very impressive collection. Us tourists do not necessarily know what’s great in Sicily. We are open to be impressed. I felt it was a missed opportunity. I felt the QR code menu, (they are everywhere on the island) don’t allow the servers to engage with guests. I certainly could have, and would have, indulged in more of what Enosteria Sicula had to offer if the servers engaged with me.
Enosteria Sicula • Owner
Stewart ❤️ Thank you for your detailed review and for choosing Enosteria Sicula during your stay in Palermo. We are very happy that you enjoyed our high-quality Sicilian dishes, where tradition and creativity come together, and that you found our Sicilian restaurant to be up to your expectations. Our wine list is composed exclusively of Sicilian labels, carefully selected to represent the richness of our territory, and our goal is always to suggest pairings that best enhance each dish. We are sorry if, on this occasion, you felt a lack of engagement from the staff: we will take your feedback to heart. We have introduced the digital QR code menu for greater clarity and sustainability, but it will never replace direct contact and human warmth, which remain fundamental for us. We look forward to welcoming you again soon at Enosteria Sicula, in Via Torrearsa 3, just a few steps from Teatro Politeama, to let you discover even more of what we have to offer ❤️

8.5/10Ambience is very nice - we sat inside within the stone walls. The service was quite slow. Took 20 minutes before anyone spoke with us. Perhaps a mix up, but once we were approached, everything was very good. The food was very good. Particularly the pork dish, which was excellent. Wines were very good as well and recommendations much appreciated.
Enosteria Sicula • Owner
Johanna ❤️ thank you for choosing Enosteria Sicula and for appreciating our contemporary Sicilian cuisine, in particular the Maialino dell’Oste 2.0 and our selection of Sicilian wines. We are pleased that you enjoyed the atmosphere of our restaurant in the heart of Palermo. We understand your observation about the service: as you may have noticed yourself, with around 100 people between the indoor dining room and the outdoor tables at peak time (around 8:15 pm), we have an internal round dedicated to taking orders to ensure that all guests receive proper attention. We are glad that once the service started you found the experience up to expectations, and we look forward to welcoming you again at Via Torrearsa 3, just behind Piazza Politeama, for another dinner that lives up to expectations. See you next time ❤️

Food and wine were nice. It should not take 25 minutes to pay though.
Enosteria Sicula • Owner
Salim, we are glad that you appreciated the quality of our Sicilian food and our wine list, but we consider the 2/10 rating you gave to our service completely unjustified. It makes absolutely no sense. The 25-minute wait to pay was not due to staff inefficiency, but to a single POS being used for multiple transactions and, above all, to the ethical choice of our staff to assist a lady who was having difficulties at the register with her credit card. This kind of customer care is part of the philosophy of Enosteria Sicula, a restaurant in the heart of Palermo that works every day with seriousness and professionalism to offer an authentic Sicilian dining experience. Penalizing us with such a low score is outrageous. Service is the flagship of our restaurant and is proven by thousands of guests who rate it as excellent (average 9.3/10 on TheFork with more than 5,000 reviews). One should not play with other people’s work: it is neither fair nor respectful of our commitment. The customer is not always right

10/10incredible staff, completely available. We really felt Sicilian hospitality when visiting, and for sure we are going to come back again.

6/10Food was bellow average. Service was really slow although the servers were nice. Overall I would not recommend.
Enosteria Sicula • Owner
Hi Anis, we’re sorry to read your comment, but we cannot accept such a generalization: the quality of our ingredients is not in question—quite the opposite, actually. It’s likely that it simply wasn’t fully appreciated. The dishes you didn’t enjoy were, in fact, very well received by other guests dining with us on Monday the 23rd. As we do every evening, that service was reviewed in detail, and more than one table personally complimented the kitchen team and the chef. Furthermore, you dined using a 50 Yums discount in about an hour—perfectly reasonable timing for a restaurant like ours, which is neither a fast food place nor a deli. Let us also remind you that we don’t offer fixed menus: all dishes at Enosteria Sicula are prepared fresh, made to order. Lastly, we noticed you rated the service a 6, despite highlighting the kindness of our staff—perhaps a more generous rating would have reflected that better. The kitchen is one thing, table service is another
