Busy restaurant, popular with middle class locals. Excellent tomato and mozzarella salad. Tasted the local antipasti, some interesting ones...but a bit too much fried. Very good value for money restaurant and beautiful, small piazza. Good service when they quickly exchanged my not warm enough pasta with a new one. more

Eat outside in the piazza itself next to the beautiful church - a lovely and romantic setting.Will cost about 75 euros for 2 including 3 courses , apertif and a bottle of wine.My wife and I found the food to be above average and is much better(and more expensive) than the fare they serve inside with plastic plates and cups. more

When we've paid the bill and wanted to keep it, the waiter has taken it from our hand saying that we should pay 20% extra if we... more

A safe option for travellers next to the charming San Francisco church, this place is on every tourist list of Palermo. Eat outside, try the focaccia, you can't go too wrong. But the service is a little patchy and some of the food failed to come up to scratch. My spaghetti alla norma, which nearly every Palermitan restaurant manages to... more

I love "pani ca meusa" and the original settings like the big mountain of pork's fat used to cook meusa. I know it sounds weird but it tastes paradise more
