Confused on why this only has 3.8 stars. I came here for the first time in 2022 and HAD to come back when revisiting Palermo. I love pistachio dishes and this has so many options!! The pistachio gnocchi is INCREDIBLE and a must try!!! Wish I could eat it every day
The food was excellent very tasty but service was a little slow.
We showed up Saturday evening with no reservation. Watching in front of us the host declining people at the door. The restaurant was fully booked out. I still decided to take a chance and see, maybe they will have a spot for a table if we waited. Thankfully, our patience paid off! The staff were super friendly and helpful, making recommendations (even the locals were over hearing us and making suggestions at the table). We had a dish with aubergine, celery, olives, onion and basil, mixed with olive oil (there was probably more to it but I was too busy shovelling it down, it was so delicious!). We then ordered a pizza to share which consisted of speck, buttered spinach, mushroom and cheese and it was devine! Altogether paired with the Nero d'Avola bottle of wine (€20) which matched really well with our dishes we felt. All in all, we had a great time and we were really appreciative of the staff. They were really sweet and accommodating. Update: We cam back the next day and we loved the food we tried! For starters we had croquets with panelle and Messina beers (with the crystals but didn't really feel any difference so I'd say the normal Messina is fine just as good). Instead of getting mains each we got two to share one after the other. We got gnocci with bacon in a pistachio sauce which was super tasty! Very unique flavours and the bacon added a tasty saltiness to the overall dish. The third dish we had was a potato and sausage pizza. I would really recommend this, tasted like a country side farmer pizza and it was awesome! The last two dishes were brought out on separate dishes as we wanted to share, which was a nice touch. Altogether it cost us about €45. Grazie ancora per una bella esperienza!

Nearest first, then across the Rio Grande Valley.
