Highly recommend!

Nice authentic little restaurant with a great choice of fresh food...!…read more We were staying in a bed and breakfast around the corner of the central station of Palermo and were recommended this place as it was considered nice, nearby, and good value for money. The food was simple and good! I'm a big fan of grilled vegetables and beef and they'd prepared it like 'la mamma' does... Yummy! The house wine was good as well.. :) We'd planned to have just a quick meal and then go to bed as we had to take the ferry at 7am the next morning, but the owner and waiter (the owner's son) were so nice that we stayed till late chatting... And enjoying an 'amaro' (digestive).. Good value for money! Great service! Ci tornerò volentieri la prossima volta che sono a Palermo...!!!!

A half Carafe of white wine and some water then Cafe completed this delightful meal. We were very surprised how good it was. Pleanty to share and the price was extremely affordable.

Excellent food, probably the best we had during our week in Palermo. We had swordfish and…read moremeatballs. The owner asked what kind of wine we liked and brought us each a glass. The red wine tasted like a Syrah blend, it was easily the best wine that I had in Palermo. Prices seemed reasonable. I recommend getting a reservation, there was often a long line of people waiting for tables.

It would be 2.5 stars from me…read more Food: Appetizer - Parmigiana...bland, no flavor other than extreme bitterness. Main - Sardine Pasta...tasty. Service: Chaotic, rushed, could be challenging if you don't speak Italian. Be ready to order when a server approaches, or it could be a while until the next moment. Ambiance: Might be okay for friends/buddies getting together, but definitely not for quiet or intimate occasions. Price: Very reasonable. Extra: While I was eating the pasta, one of the servers moved my table w/o paying attention to accommodate new arriving guests next to my table which knocked down a big bottle of water. It splashed all over my dish and shirt. He immediately took the plate out (to de-do) and provided extra paper napkins, however no apologies were provided and it wasn't my happy moment in a soaking wet shirt... The manager (owner?) looked to be busy in talking loud on his phone rather than fully engaged in the business...

Fun local vibes with good service. Good sized portions and reasonably cheap eats - everything we…read moreordered was about 8euros a plate. Fritto mixto could have been crispier. Both pastas were a tad salty side. Tasted like modest Sicilian home cooking! Espresso tasted overly roasted / to verging on burnt.

Then in addition, the prosciutto with melon, also the carbonara which had thicker noodles. I dont know that I necessarily care for that, but it was yummy, and so flavorful. I loved it. The service was very direct slightly pretentious in a feel good way. So fun and such a good way to end your night in Italy.

Beware of scams at this place, although the food tasted good. They brought us a fish we did not…read moreorder, that was not on the menu and cost twice as much as the one we had requested.

My BFF visited Palermo several months ago and came back raving about their amazing experience at…read moreBuatta.  She said that their dining experience was stellar, and that this place is frequented by mostly locals (who usually know where to find good food in their own city). When we decided to go to Palermo on vacation, I made a point of making a reservation to visit Buatta, and I'm VERY glad I did! Tip: All the ingredients for the food served here are sourced from the local market; they use special flour when baking their bread, and all the food tastes exceptional! The house-made pastas we selected were amazing, the Focaccia bread was Heavenly, and the black pork was delicious and incredibly flavorful.  The services was exceptional, and the prices were surprisingly reasonable given the extremely high quality of the food.  There's no question that we'll return the next time we're in Palermo!

Beginning at 7:30pm, and only after asking, they bring enormous platters of food to each table based on the number of people in your party. There were four of us but there was enough food to feed a small army. Lots of Sicilian street food type appetizers, plus a delicious pasta, meats & cheeses, Sicilian hamburgers, olives, breadsticks, etc. Great service, fun music, lively environment. I want to say this feast was about $8-10pp, but don't have the exact number.

Definitely go for the antipasta bar--the olives, mushrooms, things that look mini pizzas, things that look like cupcakes are all amazing. Had fresh fish that the servers allowed me to pick.

The First Restaurant Experience in Sicily Served Food & Some "Godfather History"…read more I ate at the main branch of restaurant that is known for being one of the first and, for many years, an establishment that stood up against the Mafia and Cosa Nostra. Antica Focacceria's two owners stood against the Mob by refusing to pay the 'pizzu', or protection money. According to Michelin Star Chef #giorgiolocatelli , the consequence is even in recent years, the owners were in exile. Now settled in a confidential place in mainland Italy, they fortuitously and successfully managed the expansion of this Sicilian restaurant all over Italy. Proudly supportive, I sat at the very first branch of the restaurant, the gutsy one that courageously said no to mob bullying, the original Antica Focacceria San Francesco . And I went twice, too. On my plate: panele, all sorts of arancine #supportlocal #sicilianfood #sicilianrestaurant #sicilyunpacked #curious_eater #andrewgrahamdixon #giorgiolocatelli #palermosicily

The sandwich here is served slightly different than other locations as the meat is sliced very thin and its topped with shredded cheese. At first we were a little nervous about trying the sandwich but after the first bite i was pleasantly surprised that the cheese really cut organ taste of the spleen. In addition the thinly sliced meat gave it a good balance between the meat to fat ratio. I know a lot of people in our food group were apprehensive about trying it but to be honest my wife and I are pretty open to all types of food and our motto is that will always try something once.
