We had the best tuna ever! The host was friendly and service was good.

Octopus tough with little flavor to it. Sardines also no flavor. Very loud small plaza setup filled with American tourists acting like hyenas.

Fish of the day was not fresh and it was undercooked. Unpolite reaction from the waiter when feedback was provided

L'Acerba Osteria Dinamica is a fantastic restaurant. On our recent trip to Sicily it was the best meal that we had. The seafood was fresh and fabulous. Recipes unique and innovative. The staff was delightful. Wine was outstanding. And the value was unmatched. It is highly recommended!

This informal restaurant was highlighted in NY Times! 36 hours in Palermo. Good, but erratic. I would not rush back. Good fried artichoke appetizer with pear jam, middling pasta dish with cauliflower, and a tasty, but small grilled white fish of the day. White wine by the glass was not very good and the beer never came. (The restaurant did get busy suddenly). The bill of about 75 euros for lunch seemed too high for what we had

My parents were beyond happy that I found this gem - the food was spectacular. We had the fried artichokes to start. For mains, grilled squid, carbonara and sardine pasta. We savoured every bite. The tiramisu had me near tears so we ordered another. Price was very fair for the quality. The service was very attentive and kind. Thank you!

The food here is next level good . The grilled squid with a green onion sauce was a melt in your mouth taste sensation. Squid perfectly cooked. My wife had the Spaghetti Vongole. Lots of big juicy clams with a perfectly executed cauliflower sauce reduction. Superb! The semi freddo dessert with a masala sauce ticked all the boxes. Great combination of sweet and savoury tastes in every mouthful. Do yourself a favour and try this place. It’s a little way off the main tourist area in a beautiful little piazza. You will not be disappointed.

Beautiful fresh fish. Perfect fried baccala. Pasta was a bit muddled and would have been better with less sauce and ingredients. But over all We loved this restaurant. Would recommend it.

This was such a fantastic meal. The service was excellent - our waiter was very patient, obliging and new how to handle a big group of raucous merry makers. The atmosphere and setting was very special yet unpretentious and cosy. All the food was delicious and a fair price. We would all happily return to try something else from the menu. The owner was hot AF.

Wine and starter was very good. Unfortunately my clam vongole was so salty I could only a small amount of it.

Besides the originality and quality of the menu and the surprising location, I must emphasise the friendliness, the availability and helpfulness of the staff, even at the busiest times!! A BIG 10 I & B Belgium

6.5
Food was delicious and incentive, with a beautiful patio. That said, service was severely lacking for 3 reasons: 1) It took almost 30 minutes to place our order, and only after we followed up twice with the host (it was unclear who our waiter was until the second follow-up). We understand the restaurant was busy, but were aggravated to see our waiter chatting with a table who arrived after us instead of taking our order. Because of this, our order was severely delayed, with our mains arriving close to 1.5 hours after being seated 2) Our waiter ended up forgetting our drink order. Unfortunately, he seemed to be intentionally avoiding us and we were forced to follow up with someone else again. In the end, our drinks arrived well after our appetizers 3) When our food finally arrived, our waiter made a point of slowly stating that our mains would follow our appetizers "one step at a time", as if we'd never been to a restaurant before. As non-white, non-Italian speaking visitors, this felt deeply condescending - it seems unlikely that this would have been a point of clarification for locals or other visitors

Charming small restaurant in a pocket piazza. Non touristy and full of young locals. Service was very good and the prices very fair. Food featured local specialities with a modern twist. Would definitely go again!

We had a really nice dinner with fun local ambience. One of those out-of-the-way gems that we were looking for. Even the locals recommend this restaurant so it had to be good. We were not disappointed.

The staff was really helpful and we got great advice choosing a white wine. The food was good, but the pasta dishes we had were not as good as at other restaurants in Sicily.
