We came at the close and didn't get all the variety but it was plenty, it was tasty and the house red wine was the best! The menu was in English but the staff didn't speak it, by the way, which wasn't a problem.

One of the best typical restaurants we have tested in Palermo. The staff is friendly and they take the time to explain you the dishes

Extremely good value for money. The food is very homely. It’s a family that runs this restaurant , it’s not very modern and classy but definitely is worth a visit.

Great hidden place in the center of Palermo. The food was delicious and the prices are affordable. The staff is nice but they do not speak English, just to keep in mind that communication is little harder.

Wouldn’t say it’s a traditional Italian restaurant like one would imagine but it definitely highlights the multicultural identity of Palermo. Hidden in a beautiful and highly active alley it’s definitely worth a visit. Although the staff (family) doesn’t know how to speak English, communication is not hard and the seafood dishes are homemade and filling for a good price.Ps/ 2 antipasti 2 mains 2 glasses of whine and 2 limoncello ( bread) 29, a visit is recomended if you have the chance

What a lovely lucky find this place was! It’s a bit hidden and it’s no frills nor thrills, but the food is traditional Sicilian and absolutely beautiful Here you are greeted by the chef, there’s no menu and she will tell you what she has for primi and secondi piatti. Also a simple choice of vino which is red or white and comes in a litre carafe The dishes are simple but beautiful and decent portions!At the end we were stunned by the price, including cover the meal came to 60 for the four! Absolutely amazing and so affordable Hopefully it will remain the affordable tasty place it is, for sure we can fully recommend it

We were here for lunch. This you find the Sicily Experience :-D You can enjoy your fantastic Spaghetti alla Norma while a maybe 8-year-old passes your table with a real motorcycle. Prices are more than fair.
