I dined here a few nights ago with 4 other adults who ordered a range of entrees, primi and secondi courses. The portions were small, the price high, and the taste bland at best. A total waste of time and money. more

While the prices are Manhattan like and very steep for Sicily, this is a great Sicilian restaurant not to be missed. The place is super romantic, located in a small plaza surrounded by churches and old buildings, I was there with my girlfriend and she loved it. The service is great with great recommendations on food and sicilian wines. The... more

June 2009 We arrived at the Osteria at 20:30 just after opening time. We waited fifteen minutes for menus which should have been a tip off. We ordered a nice wine and then dinner. The wine arrived relatively quickly but it was another twentyfive minutes or so for bread. Another thirty minutes for the antipasti, then another 30 minutes for... more

The atmosphere is lovely, in the Piazza Santa Anna which is very old-school Palermo (the film of The Leopard shot scenes here). The food is excellent and combines Sicilian food with familiar gastronomique conventions (think parsley and anchovie foam, amuse bouches, etc). You really can't... more

Having dinner at the Osteria dei Vespri gives you strange feeling of being in two worlds. One world of thought through perfection and one of random chaos. The kitchen shows an enormous confidence in their work, serving dish after dish of well prepared food of extreme quality with daring combinations in taste – always perfect in appearance and balance. The... more

Had a dinner here in early June and left with mixed feelings. Set in a lovely atmospheric piazza the evening started well. Service was professional and knowledgeable. Both entrees were 1st class and the extensive wine list leaves you spoilt for choice. The sommelier advised us well. Both main dishes - veal and fish, were very good. Where the experience... more
