We got the beef tartar, which resembled a cheesecake. The various textures within this dish were complex and unique. My favorite was the duck breast - so tender and delicious.

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.

This spot knows how to bring fun people in thanks to him. When seated you get a complimentary sparking wine and then the fun begins. The beats on the menu are fabulous and flavourful. The Caprese salad had fresh tomatoes and homemade mozzarella cheese that made you want more. We had two Manzo Steak and they made it the way I like it. The steak melted in my mouth. Then they brought out the big guns the Steak Florentina OMG it comes out sizzling on a hot skillet and this sucker can feed 2 to 3 people on its own. Then came out the Canolo and damn it was good. Then the tiramisu and I have eaten lots of tiramisu and this was not that crap lady fingers soaked in watery flavours. This was the real deal Holyfield and was made to perfection. The creamy and smooth flavors were as if it was sent from the gods. This has been the best one I have EVER had and it was so good I had to let them know. It was Tutto Bene!!! And absolutely divine. All of the staff was very friendly including the cat that roams around Mykaela who was introduced to us by another server who was very good but I did not remember her name. While taking photos I spoke with the owner George and he was an amazing humble man and was so happy we enjoyed our time here. I highly recommend this spot because of the service, the food, the drink, and also the live music that calls you like a siren luring you in. #icucci #palmero #italytravel #italy #tripadvisor #yelpelite #vacation

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.

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.

From my first site…read moreof it the venue gave a very good impression; it's very cozy and clean :-) Moving past the threshold, we were surrounded by the amazing smells from the kitchen and it would have been obvious (even if we were blindfolded) that we were in an Italian restaurant. The atmosphere is laid-back and relaxing, while the service is very friendly and attentive. The menu is chock-full of traditional Sicilian food; it runs the whole gamet from appetizers to main dishes, with wine, cocktails, pizzas, and more! All the food we tried that evening was nothing short of phenomenal; our server suggested a bottle of local wine to pair with our mains, and it was not only wonderful, but very reasonably priced. I have no hesitation about recommending this restaurant! Whether you're looking for a romantic tete-a-tete date venu, a place to dine alone, or someplace to catch up with friends, you'll have a great experience when you come to Villa San Giovanni :-)

The staff was kind enough to tell us how to consume the soup. The broth is in a separate bowl to be added a little at a time to the couscous and dish. To find this restaurant, you really need to know the area. The door is very inconspicuous and looks like a hole in the wall but opens up into a quiet, multiple room, brightly lit place decorated with a mix of modern and traditional decoration. If in town, find this place!

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.
