    Had dinner here in late Sept 2023. Was so good returned again the next week. Nice covered outdoor seating, great attentive wait staff. Highly recommend. Have a lemon cello spritzer!

    We went here last night. Great service. All sI add were very friendly. I had the best fluffy and light gluten free pizza I ever ate in the past 7 years. Highly recommend the gluten free pizza for who has gluten sensitivities. They also made me gluten free panelli. Very delicious also. We were a big group of people. (15) one of their offers were the 12euro unlimited pizzas for everyone at the table. Which included panelli, pizza of 8 diff toppings, soda water, and sweet pizzas at the end Very nice big restaurant plenty of ambience. Definitely going again during my stay here

    A little bit way from the main touristy areas, but they have an Italian/English menu here and they…read morewere happy to serve us when we arrived at 7:40pm. Warm and comfortable with linen tablecloth and linen napkins and heavy silverware, they have a long wine list and we opted to just have the house red which was great. Beautiful bread basket, we got the baked mozzarella cheese to start. A good portion baked in oil with fresh garlic. It was awesome and there will be no vampires tonight. For mains, my friend chose a noodle dish with eggplant. Big portion, very nicely presented and I had a small bit that was excellent. I chose the buccatini with sardines and it was amazing. Fresh sardines, pesto, perfect noodles. Yummy. Our first "full" dinner in Palermo (last night was the food tour) and it's really looking like we'll have a great food fest here.

    We checked out this place on our first full day in Palermo - based on our B&B host's…read morerecommendation. We are so glad that we did. It was one of our best meals in Sicily. I especially liked their house antipasti (eggplant dishes). It was fantastic! How can eggplant be so good? Biondo is located right off the main shopping drag. They have a pizza shop around the corner too. Ordering in English was small struggle - so picking up a tiny bit of Italian would help for those that do not speak any.

    If you're vegan... fuck all else and head straight here. If you're not vegan and want real food…read morethat tastes great and is actually made here... fuck all else and go here, right away. The pastas are all homemade and they have many vegan options. And not just like, "Yeah, we have eggplant and tasteless salad and we can remove the tuna and cheese and suck ass so you can eat."... it's more like, "You thought you like pasta, try this shit, it's fucking awesome!" I'm not kidding. You choose the style of pasta (I had gnocchi ((potato/gf)) and the wife had bucatini). Two vegan options, and holy god dammit all... mind blowing. I cried when it was over. Okay... I have to balance this out with some bad. The yang to the yin. Goddam plastic water bottles and plastic water cups!! Why?! Stop it Sicily... you're out of control with the pollution... like WAY out of control. Be better than the rest! That's all, I should take off a star for that, but I believe once they read this... they'll change. Giuliana was our waitress and I don't know the chef's name yet, but we're going back tomorrow so I'll find out. I actually clapped for him. That's how awesome this shit is. Vegan awesome sauce like no other. You've never had pasta this good. Never.

We thought we were waiting in line but then realized that the people had spilled out into the front and weren't really waiting, they were just drinking and chilling. After some confusing exchanges we got a table outside though, so all was good. The pasta was great! They have several different sauces and fresh pastas that you can mix and match. I loved the pesto trapanese. We liked it so much that we went back on our last night and got some to-go. Our waitress was very nice and despite the crowd the food didn't take long.

My…read morehusband and I shared the Sicilia bedda rettangolari gourmet and the crema funghu porcini e marscapone quadri. I was really excited, especially for the stuffed crust! While the concept was good, the execution left much to be desired. Both pizzas seemed to lack complexity in flavor. In particular, there was a lot of crust on the quadri, and I think there was generally not enough tomato sauce. For the Sicilia bedda, there was so much tuna and anchovies on top that it overpowered the other flavors, and having more acid such as lemon or vinaigrette would have balanced it out. Otherwise, it was just creamy and salty. The servers were friendly, and the pizza was fine but definitely nowhere near the best we've had in our time in Europe and (in my opinion) definitely not worth the price. Overall, I would probably rate it at 2.5 but bumped it up to 3 because the pizza was fine but just pretty average compared to the others we've had. I would likely try a different pizza place if I return to Palermo in the future.
