Trattoria del Massimo is a consistently good and reliable restaurant which is why I return regularly. Tonight I had the fish of the day which was delicious and my friend has the anelletti al forno which she really enjoyed.

4.5/10The food was uninspired & pedestrian. I should have known better than to order a fixed price menu option, but we were too tired & hungry to think clearly after getting off a transcontinental flight.

It was great to walk into a place that felt like we were eating at a local restaurant and not some tourist trap! The staff were excellent and the food was delicious. Definitely a must try!

Excellent food and spot. The tv screen and bright lights are unnecessary but the evening was great!

+2We started with the sfizzi (assorted appetizers) which were good, but not great, and the panelle & crocche, which were outstanding! Our main courses were very good: grilled tuna, busiate alla Norma, and spaghetti marinara. We shared a small chocolate mousse for dessert along with Amari. The service was excellent!

8/10A really good lunch only spoilt by my wife’s order for her main arriving which wasn’t what she ordered. It took 10 mins or so before the correct dish arrived. The food we had was excellent though and the staff were helpful and attentive. We would definitely go again.

7.5/10Best food we had during our 3 days in Palermo. Excellent shrimp tartar and red wine risotto. Mackerel was a bit dry but fresh and plump. Good thing we booked thru The Fork as several people were turned away as the establishment was at capacity

So many new dishes for us to try as first time visitors. They did not disappoint! Stabrting with the Sicilian whims for appetizers to unique ways of presenting fish and amazing hazel nut pesto raviolis. The Sicilian wine was delicious and the chocolate mousse dome to die for. Read about this place in Rick Steves book. So glad we read about it. We would love to eat here again on our next visit. Highly recommend.

9/10We did not eat much, which is what we do as usual. You would eat for yourself the whole of the dishes we ordered for two of us. Their quality was so superb that we wished we would have a bigger stomach. The interior is clean very well maintained. It is very spacious too but we were only guests there. We started to get puzzled about it when a big group of young (apparently) students, in tens of them, turned up. The whole house got cheerful if not too wild, that was definitely why. The whole time we were there is our pleasant memory and why we did give 4 stars instead of 5 is that they forgot serve a glass of wine I ordered. The friedliness of the person taking care of our table was very nice nontheless. We strongly recommend the whole thing you will find there including the reasonable pricing.
