    The best part was Daniele, the knowledgable and enthusiastic sommelier, who guided me through a tour of five different Sicilian wines — three whites, one red, and one dessert wine, a Malvasia. My advice: take his advice.

    Fantastic service and the waiter was helpful with advising on how many courses to order. We decided on 2 in the end and that was more than enough. Delicious food and Prosecco, highly recommended.

    We had booked an expensive four-course meal with wine. The food was poorly presented and, apart from the cannoli (dessert), none of the dishes tasted good. We spent four weeks in Sicily and this was the only time we didn't enjoy the food. Every pasta dish for €10 and every street food sandwich was much tastier than these dishes. The fish was dry, the fennel salad consisted of nothing but stalks on our plates, the octopus salad was not seasoned, the caponata was cold, etc. On top of that, we had to sit outside in a tent. We were told beforehand that we would be sitting by a heater, but we sat without a heater and without blankets at the entrance to the tent, so we had to ask for warm things several times. In the end, we sat there freezing, wearing jackets and scarves, with cold backs, and rushed through the menu as quickly as possible so we could leave. Unfortunately, this has been our only bad experience with food so far.

    Enosteria Sicula

    Comparisons with street food from local markets are out of place. The dishes you describe as “cold” were starters intentionally designed and served at room temperature, such as Black Pepper Tuna Bresaola, Amberjack Caponata, the Oyster, and the Seafood Salad with Octopus and Calamari, which by their nature cannot and should not be served hot. As for the premium Meagre Fillet with fennel and orange salad, it was one of the most appreciated dishes of the evening by other guests. The outdoor area complies with the regulations of the Municipality of Palermo, like all those in the city center: there are three heaters, one for each area, and we never mentioned blankets but hot water bottles, which you did receive. Regarding the value of the experience, we disagree: the menu also included a welcome toast, one bottle of wine for every four people, and celebratory sparkling wine, featuring high-quality labels and references. Your feedback is not objective

    The Cannolo of salmon I didn't really like. The cannolo was more than hard to eat, and burst open when trying to cut with a knife. Too small portion also for the price. The starter was nice I had.

    Enosteria Sicula

    Matt the Cannolo di Mare is one of our most distinctive dishes — a savoury reinterpretation of the traditional Sicilian cannolo. Its crispy shell, made in Piana degli Albanesi (PA) from a special kind of fried shortcrust pastry, is meant to be eaten with your hands to create a perfect contrast with the softness of the filling. How could you ever eat it with cutlery? 😄 Moreover, the type of fish may vary depending on daily availability, as we always focus on freshness and quality. On our menu (accessible via the QR code on the table), you can find photos of every dish, to help guests make informed choices and avoid any misunderstanding. We look forward to welcoming you again at Enosteria Sicula, in Via Torrearsa 3, Palermo, so you can better discover our Sicilian cuisine and our selection of Sicilian wines P.S. Our portions are not small — quite the opposite. However, they are designed for one person. If guests choose to share, that’s entirely their choice.

    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.

    Enosteria Sicula

    Naomi ❤️ thank you so much for your lovely review and for sharing such kind words about your experience at Enosteria Sicula.

    Waited over an hour and 15 minutes for two plates of pasta.

    Enosteria Sicula

    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!

    The 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

    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 ❤️

    High 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

    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 ❤️

    Ambience 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

    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.

    Food and wine were nice. It should not take 25 minutes to pay though.

    Enosteria Sicula

    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

    Food was bellow average. Service was really slow although the servers were nice. Overall I would not recommend.

    Enosteria Sicula

    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
