    Food was nice, but it took around one hour to be ready after ordering. Ambient is nice, but a bit hot for the summer.

    Their pizza did not disappoint, dessert was ok the almond al freddo was delicious !!! Service was poor extremely slow.once seat and given menus we were left without drinks order being taken for over 20mins . The restaurant was very quiet with only Afew table dining . Food and drinks arrived all at once and was great just a shame the service is so relaxed. Even taking a drinks order would have made the wait for acceptable But again you are on Italian time but worth baring in mind!

    Very friendly welcome and initial taking of the order. I accidently knocked my drink off of the table as myself and partner were cutting food (the table wobbles); suddenly it all seemed to change as if I had committed a cardinal sin, granted my accident but there was no offer of another drink (I would have paid for) just a grumpy guy brushing up the glass and causing more of a scene then necessary. Food was good but sadly that is now on 3/4 of the experience. As a visitor to Palermo I would not return.

    Excellent food. We arrived when they opened and it was a little dead as we were the only customers. It filled up about halfway through our meal and is obviously a popular place.

    We visited this restaurant on a cold and rainy night in Palermo and was instantly cheered by the warm welcome from our waitress. The food was exceptional. A delicious pizza with greens and cured ham and fried calamari with a yoghurt sauce. Simple food, prepared to the highest standard. We shared a cheesecake and drank their house wine. Everything was perfect and just what we needed. Do try it.

    Food was VERY good across the board. service was kind but terribly slow. We had to wait for 45 minutes between the entrees and the main dishes. decor was appropriate and the price, after considering the discount, was very reasonable.

    The restaurant was nice however the food was disappointing. I ordered seared squid as starter and clams spaghetti as main. The squid was like water boiled with no seasoning and didnt go well with the mint sauce. The claim spaghetti was very bland, completely no flavour, i had to add salt myself. Husband said his pizza was nice.

    A warm, friendly restaurant, with an allure of the past, without being out of date. Tasty menu, reasonable prices, higly recommended.

    We were 2 couples having a nice relaxing dinner. Our friends are vegetarian and the menu offered several options for them. Service was great, servers were attentive but allowed us to take our time. Food was delicious and wine selection was good as well.

    The food was delicious, flavorful and very nicely presented. The staff, though clearly stretched thin, were attentive and very warm. We ate there twice for dinner and once for a late lunch of wood-fired pizza. This is a solid, comfortable choice. We would happily go there again on our next visit to Palermo.

    The cannoli was excellent. However it was not good enough to make up for the lack of service.

    The staff was very impersonal. The mood of the staff at freezing point. They clearly didn't have the right day. I can't imagine they do that every day. A big disappointment for me in Sicily.

    Grazie per la sua recensione, ma ci sembra inopportuno da parte vostra identificare il nostro personale freddo , cosa assolutamente non vera , per quanto riguarda il conto , avete pagato il giusto perché avete consumato pesce , e altra cosa avete prenotato senza lo sconto , caro cliente la materia prima, quella buona ha un prezzo , specialmente se si parla di pesce ,

    Largish restaurant and very busy . Good atmosphere. The food was good but I was surprised that the fish dish came without any vegetables.The staff were pleasant but very stressed and busy. Service was slow so I probably wouldn’t return. We were also charged for cover which we did not receive.

    The food was really so delicious especially the fish. The pasta was good. Yet the waitress wasn't that friendly, I'll be nice and say that she had a terrible day.

    We went because it was marked as a good restaurant for vegetarians. We were staying near the four corners, so it was quite a long walk. However, it was a lot calmer than the old town, which was nice. The main problem for me was the service. The restaurant was busy and they appeared to be short-staffed as we had to wait a long time for everything. My pizza was quite nice (spinach and ricotta). My partner found his aubergines to be overcooked. We were entitled to a 20% discount, but the waiting staff forget this until reminded.

    Nice restaurant with good Sicilian food. Unfortunately we had to wait for over one hour to have our main course. Apparently something went wrong in the kitchen

    The food was delicious. Well prepared and plated. The runner worked very hard and was observant of the guests. We enjoyed the almond encrusted fish, sea bass. A eggnog semi fredo and the shrimp antipasto.

    We appreciate the service, we ordered ten minutes after we arriver and the antipasto arrived after other ten minutes. Good the fritto di calamari e gamberi. Our first courses arrived after twenty minutes. Calamarata good but not exceptional, spaghetti very good. Involtini di pesce good but the sauce was covering the fish taste. Apparently the kebab was very good. Unfortunately it was an extremely warm evening, of course this is not the restaurant fault but the street is too noisy, kids playing with their electric scooters, alarms going on, people talking aloud, cars’noise.
