We just stopped for drinks, but it was very nice and quiet, we got olives and i believe amazing garlic bread complementary.

I give it four stars because vegan options weren’t that clear on the menu. Also when we asked the waitress to be sure, she wasn’t familiar with ‘vegan’. Overall the food was delicious. Otherwise we liked the ambient and staff was friendly.

We had dinner here our last evening in Palermo, and it was definitely our favourite. Food was absolutely delicious and they have great vegetarian options, not just the basics which I really appreciate. Also, the staff was super nice. Would def come back x

Walked past this place and it was full so thought we would try on another night. Bad decision, food was average at best and the night we went no one there. Not sure how they get 4.5 maybe lots of friends and family leave reviews.

We walked in here randomly. This is an outstanding restaurant. Out appetizer salads were way beyond our expectations. The mains were completely outstanding my ravioli was a large portion and blew my mind. They also have a local wine selection which they are very knowledgeable about. I don't drink much wine but the southern Sicilian chardonnay was very nice.
