AjaMola

Not sure what happened to other reviewers but my experience was fantastic. The 2 male waiters were friendly and attentive even though the whole place was packed during Sunday lunch. 1 waiter could be mistaken for unfriendly as he didn’t smile much was he was busy fussing around I got a starter, main, a side and a dessert with espresso. Everything tastes great and one of the best meals I’ve had in Italia

The best meal we had in Sicily. We came here through recommendation from a friend, and we were so excited to try it. We got the marinated mackerel starter, which was very good and the mackerel tasted super fresh. For the first course, I got the ravioli and my husband got clam pasta - both excellent. My fried cod with kimchi sauce for my second course was very good - the fish was cooked perfectly. We were most excited to try the two gelato desserts - one was a bread, butter, and anchovy gelato and one was green olive with almonds and vanilla oil. Both were great, but we loved the anchovy one the most. Our waiter was very nice. We’ll come back here if we ever find ourselves in Palermo again!

It has been a true experience to have the 7 course menu at AjaMola; ingredients were fresh and qualitative, lots of creativity in the conception, surprising but delicious combinations, and flawless elaboration. And all that, taking into account the sommelier and chef were not present when we were there. Highly recommendable!

Great place for authentic seafood. Great food, compared to the tourist traps, reasonable price, tasting menu at €65, but we ordered à la carte, which was equally as good. Highly recommended for any travelers to Palermo, which can be a little bit rundown. Also recommend the Michelin star sister restaurant next-door.

The most expensive meal we've eaten in Palermo and also the only one I regret. Go anywhere else. Aside from a few small technical errors, the food was good but uneven. The kitchen, though, was let down by the inattentive service staff, who disappeared after taking our food order and never returned.

Do NOT bring someone here who is not a fan of seafood! There are no non-seafood options on the menu. That said, we got a small table in the back near the restroom, which was a little noisy because of the constant dishwashing. We got a couple of the pastas and they were both very fishy. Yes, I know it's a seafood restaurant, but I would expect a little more subtlety in a ravioli. Overall, we were a little let down with the taste and the portions for the price, but I can't come down too hard on them because we aren't the biggest fish-lovers and we chose (because others in the area were all booked up) the fishiest restaurant in town. Alas.

So close to being 5 stars!! I really enjoyed my meal here. The ingredients were so fresh and the dishes were packed with flavour. Unfortunately I found certain creams/purées/ingredients added to the dishes, took away the flavour of the fresh fish that was a shame.

The dishes are very surprising, they look delicate yet super tasty. My favorite: grilled squid with pepper and basil sauce (the green one). It’s way above my expectation of basil sauce - just so amazing. The menu changes every now and then and therefore some nice-looking dishes on Google maps photos are not available. Luckily everything we ordered is very delicious ✨ And the service is really nice!
