Since then I have been there many times enjoying the very good quality and the pleasant atmosphere. Italo is situated in quit wealthy surroundings, so the standard follows the demand of being on their toes. This does not make it snobby at all, though. It is also a free room. Not many tourists find their way here. When taking a walk in Villa Trabia and The English Garden also nearby a visit to Italo can be recommended. The ice cream, even with good Italian standard, is superb.

Everything here looked and smelled so good that our "quick bite" rapidly morphed into full meal with multiple arancini accompanied by a wonderful bottle of their house wine. All the food was nothing short of amazing, the prices were incredibly reasonable, and the service was welcoming and friendly :-) While we ended up overeating yet again, we left feeling not even the least bit guilty; we enjoyed a very special meal and look forward to returning again on a future trip to Palermo.

Cannoli (big and small), smoothly iced cakes and alarmingly coloured cassata. The Sicilian cassata damn near killed me - so sweet.

If you don't speak Italian, it's a bit of a rough time since it is a tad chaotic in there. Sitting is only outside and limited with panhandlers coming to ask for money while you try to eat or drink. The food was average with the pizza being mediocre without any flavor that stood out. The cassatta was good but the granita was too watery.

We stopped here this morning for coffee and breakfast before starting our final full day of exploring Palermo. When we walked in and picked our breakfast and coffees, they had us step back outside and choose a table. We chose well. And then our purchase was brought to us. It was not until the end that we asked for a check and paid with credit card at the table. Lovely. My sweet roll stuffed with cheese and ham was delicious. The double espresso was very good and got the "go juice" going. [Review 12834 overall, 149 of 2020.]

The coffee was strong and the view of Teatro Massimo was great :) Will have to try their pastries and their Marocchino coffee next. They have a full service bar in the evenings too. EDIT: Just tried their Marocchino and this is now our favorite espresso drink! This was more of a macchiato with a dash of cocoa on top, which really elevated the espresso without being too sweet. Two marocchinos and a lemon croissant only set us back €5.50. The croissants are huge too
