10/10This is by far the best meal we have eaten in Palermo! The service was very good and the food was divine. It was also really appreciated that the -20% discount was applied.

+2A quiet, low-key dinner at Trattoria Al Cancellatto, a great place just outside the touristy center of town. We started with bruschette with codfish mousse, baked caciocavallo cheese, and gnocchi. For main courses, grilled sea bass; veal rolls with prosciutto, cheese & pistachio; and a hamburger with oven roasted potatoes. Both the food and service were very good!

5/10Family run businesses usually have a certain warmth, and although the waiter was welcoming, the rest of the staff mistook coldness for professionalism. The tuna was overcooked, the pasta was overcooked. Compared to other restaurants in Palermo it was rather expensive for the offer.

10/10Greeted at the door. When we asked for fish, was shown a showcase of what was available. We chose the sea bass which was grilled perfectly. We also chose an eggplant dish which we all loved. The atmosphere and pace of dinner was just what we were looking for to enjoy with our dear friends. Price was reasonable.

10/10The spaghetti and clams were superb, with equal amounts of both served in a garlicky oil and parsley sauce. The clams were plump with a hint of the sea. I’m afraid to say more because it may become impossible to get a table. However, I discovered THE dessert I would like for my birthday: lemon tiramisu topped with strawberries.

8.5/10It’s a lovely neighbourhood trattoria and we had a great night. But the food - especially the pastas - weren’t as good as we’d had elsewhere in Palomino.

The food is homely and delicious, the portions are huge, and the staff is excellent and very friendly. Also, the Cassata al forno is one of the best desserts I have tried in Italy.

10/10Food was authentic. Delicious dishes. Pasta with mussels was spectacular. Definitely get the eggplant caponata. Made reservation for 7:30 and got there a few minutes early. They took us right away. Only issue was I had to ask for bread. Then plates then oil. But they got it for us immediately

10/10Proper Italian family-run trattoria. Simple authentic food, no English spoken but that somehow didn't matter. Genuinely nice people doing a good job. Will definitely return.

+1We loved our dinner here! It was a small, family owned restaurant with great service and great food. We don’t like the “tourist trap” restaurants and have been trying to find restaurants like this as much as possible. Quality food and even better service! Can’t recommend dining here enough!

10/10Superb, proper home cooked meals, we had the spaghetti alla vongole and the fusilli con salsiccia e piselli, and they were delicious! apologies for the mispelling. we then had the grilled seabass and the involtini, again excellent, especially when washed down by a perfect bottle of sicilian red (it tasted like an angel crying on my tongue!!)

Very nice service and wonderful pastas. Average vitella. Dessert options could be better. Prices are ok when compared with other restaurants in Palermo.

10/10Second time and just as good as the first. The place is cozy, warm, receiving and brightened by the smiling debonnaire service of Valerio. The food is honest, typical Sicilian and the wines complement it perfectly.
