Primi Piatti - PALERMO

A friendly place that serves quality food at a good price. Attentive staff and really nothing not to like about the place! Sometimes, as a woman eating out alone in Italy, you get treated in a weird way. Not at this place. I will return!

Such a dispirited greeting followed by a purely perfunctory service! Hindsight, always wise, suggests we ought to have left the moment we arrived. Our swordfish with vegetables was quite good but pasta carbonara was tasteless, topped with slivers of underperforming ham ! “ served” on cold plate. No offer of water or bread, no suggestion about anything. No greeting coming, no comment departing. Ours was one of three occupied tables at 8:30, and other diners were similarly ignored. Dismal.

This is a fantastic gem of a family run restaurant steps off of the touristy street. So many restaurants have no indoor space or lacking character; this place is quaint and romantic inside. The pasta and pizza are outstanding, obviously made with love. Prices are wonderfully NOT touristy. Pizza in Dec 2023 starting at 6€. Bottles of Sicilian wine at 14€. And don’t just feel good about the reasonable prices, the food is some of the best we have had in Palermo. Nice family. We have already been here three times, and with two more weeks here in Palermo this restaurant has become our home.

Abbiamo scoperto questo posto nascosto in un vicolo. Nonostante il nome, abbiamo scelto una pizza che era grande. La bruschetta classica con pomodoro fresco era deliziosa. Il personale era molto gentile e disponibile. I prezzi erano ragionevoli. Lo consiglio per la pizza, ma non so come siano i primi piatti.

La pasta con le sarde era eccellente e le sarde a beccafico fresche e buone. Il servizio era buono, il personale gentile ed efficiente e l'ambiente rustico e molto particolare.
