Restaurant Palermo
Knowing the must-visit restaurants is a great way to stay up-to-date. Let’s dive into the top three restaurants in Palermo, according to TripAdvisor.
Bollicina Palermo: Located on Via Isidoro La Lumia, Bollicina is not just a place but an experience. This elegant and perfect location aims to introduce visitors to new and unique flavors. According to their website, the owners’ main idea is to revolutionize the concept of “Apericena.” Instead of the usual platters, each salami and cheese served tells a story. From the remotest valleys of Trentino Alto Adige to the southernmost seas of Sicily, Bollicina allows you to discover the flavors of our beloved peninsula. This applies to both savory and sweet dishes, all made even more authentic by cocktails specially crafted by master bartenders.
Bartolo & Sons: Located on Via Pannieri, Bartolo & Sons has been an icon of Sicilian cuisine, particularly Palermo’s, for over 30 years. Situated in the heart of the city, the restaurant’s mission is to share the passion for local and authentic flavors. The menu is rich in tradition and genuine ingredients, with dishes that fully represent the freshness of the sea.
Deca Bistrot: This third restaurant is located in Piazza Mameli, in the historic center of Palermo. Positioned in the silver and goldsmith district, it enjoys a perfect setting, especially in the evening when it becomes the ideal place for an aperitif or dinner with friends or family, exploring tradition and good food.
