"Chef Patrizia Di Benedetto of one-Michelin-starred modern Mediterranean restaurant Bye Bye Blues holds the accolade of being the first and only female chef to helm a Michelin-starred restaurant in Sicily over the past seven years. The young couple bought over a little-known pub near Mondello beach and converted it into a popular pub. A year after they started Bye Bye Blues, the head chef quit and she stepped in to help to cook. However, she ended up quitting her job and has been taking charge of the kitchen for more than two decades, transforming the bar into a full-fledged restaurant that centres on modern Mediterranean cuisine. Popular dishes at Bye Bye Blues include squid ink cavatelli, tomato sorbet with burrata, Mazzara red prawn carpaccio, and watermelon jelly with jasmine flower curd and cheese. Bye Bye Blues received one Michelin star in 2010." - Kenneth Goh

We celebrated our 20th anniversary with 22 people at Bye Bye Blues. Arranged from Australia, Partriza and team could not have done a better job! It was an outstanding evening with every guest commenting on the food and wine selection and service. Some of the guests had dietary needs and each was easily accommodated. We could not recommend more highly! An evening we will not forget!

We went for a special meal to celebrate our 40th wedding anniversary. The welcome and service was first class. We had the seven course tasting menu with paired wines and both were simply amazing - worth every penny. The menu was interesting and delivered to an excellent standard. Thank you for making our evening so very special ❤️

My rating is 3.9. The restaurant is good, but didn't impress us with any of the dishes from the tasting menu. It's hard to believe it was a Michelin star restaurant. The dishes were presented nice, nothing innovative or outstanding though. The taste of most of the dishes was plain and lack some flavour kick. The ingredients were fresh. Some of the dishes from out tasting menu: variation of crudi, fish rolled with tomato espuma, potato puree, and marinated onion, pasta nero di sepia with gamberi and ricci espuma (great), fish in olive 'crust' with variation of caponata, watermelon mouse with cagliata, almond cake (great). Service was professional and attentive, but also too pushy. I understand that the restaurant wasn't full and maybe they wanted to take care of the customers, however coming every two minutes to check if we chose dishes or wine is too much and it's a lack of respect to our privacy. Overall, it was a good dinner, but nothing special.

We are truly impressed with the quality of food, professionalism of the service team and the clean modern environment for dining at Bye Bye Blues. At arrival, we are welcomed by warm greetings and ushered to our seats. The waitress then helped us to stow away our jackets and presented the menu to us. We like to highlight that they have an english menu for guest who requires this version. The resto also has an extensive wine list for selection. The menu clearly indicates the key ingredients of each dish. The variety is well selected and unique. We like that Chef Patrizia takes the order personally for all guests. Upon placing our orders, we were served with a welcome antipasti on the house. We ordered a variety of raw fish platter and red prawns with artichokes and potatoes as antipasti to start. Both dishes are good starters, well presented and tasty. We had Risotto in Mussels soup and a grilled fish fillet as main course. The portion is reasonable and we enjoyed both dishes very much. The freshness of the grilled fish and tastiness of the mussel soup that enriched the risotto is commendable. We like the presentation and curation of the desserts. We had an almond and lemon cake with creme brulee and vanilla ice cream, and a millefoglie with citrus cream, caramel ice cream and pudding. Both dessert are not overly sweet, the balance between the sweetness of cream and citrus fruit are on point. Dining in the restaurant is comfortable and we observed that service team is attentive to the needs of different guests at each table. The restaurant comes with a heftier price tag compared to majority of the restaurants in Palermo. However, it is worthwhile to dine in this restaurant as we felt that it is outstanding and value for money given the experience and quality of food. It is a restaurant we will revisit and host our guests the next time.

Outstanding creations by Chef Patrizia and a gem of a place in beautiful Mondello! Francesco guided us to the best Sicilian wines selected by owner/sommelier Antonio that took the meal to the next level. You have to ask for the wine pairing when there. Do not drive back :)

Must visit if in Palermo and worth the short drive from the city center. Amazing cuisine, wonderful staff and wine list and all the components of a Michelin quality restaurant. Reservation recommended and also very accommodating for dietary restriction (3 meat eaters + 1 pescatarian).

This is Italan Michelin star. Fantastic foods with reasonable price. I paid less than 150 Euro for two including dessert and bottle of wine. Satisfaction level was enough high. Thanks for great experience.
