    We felt the service was very rushed. They were just trying to get you out so they could get the next person in. They also added an extra service charge as well as the coperto (cover charge). They were also pushing the special dish which they didn’t give you the price of and was expensive for what it was. Food was average.

    Food took over an hour to come, the waiters kept knocking stuff of our table, our 30% fork discount wasn’t applied and they charged us 2 different service charges

    The food was okay, but average. Most of all the prices on their site are wrong (lower than reality) and the prices are without VAT which is not indicated (or at least not clear).

    TOURIST TRAP! The food is fast-food in a form of a restaurant. You have soooo many nice options around, same price, MUCH better quality that it makes absolutely no sense to eat there. Stay away :)

    Felt like herding sheep. Specific to the fork reservation, they offer discount to entice you to reserve. When you show up, they don’t check your reservation and act confused when referencing the reservation discount. The service was rushed, the food was mediocre, and the ambience was chaotic. Pasta was undercooked for my wife (not Al dente) and overcooked for me and my son. The ragu almost tasted like canned pasta. The servers would throw dishes down and leave finished plates from the starters sitting there. The table next to us which was an italian couple, refused their pasta 2 times before walking out. Definitely pass on this place.

    We wait for our tabel about 30min. When we leave the restaurant we check our recipt and we paid with 30% discount more than we should pay without discount.

    Do not go here! Service was a nightmare ! We had to wait over an hour as we had to tell our order to six people. Did not get half the food ordered. Every other table around us had the same issue. Food was okay but the service was so terrible I would not recommend.

    It was NYE I expected the food to be horrible and it was. We paid a lot of money for basically rubbish food. Lots of waiters very inpatient. Waited for over an hour to get what we ordered and it was horrible. Shame. Maybe during a normal day they have better food options and are nicer and less stressed. Maybe. I won’t be coming there.

    Food was good, but service was below par. There were breadcrumbs on the table cloth, and some cutlery was dirty. We got menus with different prices. On mine, every item was 2 euros more. Not very transparent.

    Lively fun vibe here. Efficient fun service in cozy inside space, lots outside space as well. It was hopping on November Sarurday eve on busy pedestrian Maqueda. Caponata, pasta ragu and cacio pepe with pork cheeks were all very good.

    On a very lively street. The mixed platter to starter was amazing, a very good selection of meats, cheeses etc The house red was nice and we both had pasta dishes with seafood. All very tasty and reasonable

    We made a reservation for a party of 8 outdoors but were only accommodated indoors where there was zero ambience. We were given the alternative to wait a half hour but we chose not to. Food was mediocre. With so many great options in Palermo this would not be one I recommend, unless you are sitting outdoors and recognize the food is acceptable but not great in comparison.

    I was really excited that I have found this place and was really looking forward to the food. However the food was not the problem. The server was extremely rude and ignoring me entire time even though I have tried to speak as much Italian as I could via google translate. But then when another tourist couple came in she was very nice to them and spoke much more English than she attempted with me. I was a solo traveler so it made experience very uncomfortable

    Nice food. Unfortunately when we got back to our accommodation we realised they’d charged us 28 euros for a bottle of wine we ordered but they didn’t have in stock.

    We got there being overseas tourists from Australia recommend by friends from Palermo to eat here it was a total disgraceful treatment by there service & staff who left myself & wife sitting waiting for our mIn meals & also wanting to be served? the staff need to learn manners as they had told me what's the problem? I mean problem your service was disgraceful & how rude were they to my wife. Would not recommend this place if you are with kids or family there other better places to eat are area.

    High energy, casual, yet totally on the mark! Smart, attentive wait staff and superior preparation/presentation of food!! Sit outside (large seating area) to enjoy the fresh air and the “street scene”. If/when return Palermo would be a must-do restaurant! Well done!

    We got the mussels pasta and the carbonara and the carbonara was so salty that I barely ate it. And I ate some of it cause I was really hungry otherwise that would definitely be a no no.
