Overrated and overpriced. We followed the Michelin Guide and ordered full menu ‘Brezza marina’. The service and presentation were good however the food tasted boring (almost tasteless) and did not match the standard. Personally I would only give one star. If someone does not have any expectation it is a two or three stars place to go.

5 stars

I would come back. Had the tasting menu and loved every dish. Great service, beautiful location, amazing food. Can only recommend!

5 stars

I do not understand the review of this osteria is given only 4 stars. I travel so many places and looking forward to coming across wonderful restaurants. This place is one of the best I ever visited. The service is super, all servers are well-mannered and kind. Food is so, so creative almost like arts. Most of restaurants in this area, I feel the dishes were over salted, but NOT this one. The chef understands the flavors and make sure the customers feel it. Between the dishes, they give us "refreshments" as a compliment that are very considering, so as we proceed to the next meals with fresh mouth. If I visit Palermo in the future, this will be the first place that I will have my meal.
