Osteria Mangia e Bevi

Fabulous restaurant. Loved the ethos of menu (wish theyd left them on table for us to read fully after ordering)., quirky style of decor..food was delicious. Recommend booking or arriving before 7pm as at 730 we were unable to get a table inside.. was a bit chilly eating outside in February. (No patio heaters).

When locals tell you this restaurant is number one, you have to believe them. We have eaten here several times. They use the best and freshest ingredients and have prices similar to street food. A welcoming, clean and relaxed atmosphere. Don't hesitate to eat here and you will definitely be back. Ahhhh and the best Cannoli is here. Here some dishes.

If you’re in Palermo and looking to try authentic Sicilian food this is the place to go! I only managed to get two photos of some of our starters as we were so excited to eat! The service was great and the staff were very friendly! Such a lovely atmosphere being seated outside! Make sure you book ahead as there were people being turned away as they were full! We got there at about 20:15 and it definitely started to get busy about 15minutes later! Can’t wait to go back when I come back to Palermo!

Love the atmosphere here. Fried Sardine, sardine pasta, grilled steak and roast potato as a side dish. Best dinner in Palermo

I really enjoyed the design, food and atmosphere at this place. We ordered baccala meatballs and fried calamari for appetizers, spaghetti di seppia and scaloppine al limone as second. I made a small comment about the scaloppine and the owner accepted it respectfully with morality. Thank you I’ll be back.

Excellent Sicilian food. Fast and friendly service. We got the mixed bowl of arranzini, the aubergine and tomato sauce pasta and the sardines pasta. All perfect. Pasta was a bit too al dente for European standards

Food was very underwhelming, nothing special. The staff seemed to be bothered by the customers. We waited about 30 minutes and nobody came to take our order for food nor drinks. They had forgotten about us, when we tried to get the attention of a waiter he appeared annoyed and walked away, only returning minutes later to take the order. We never even got the dessert menu, waited too long before we gave up and left.

Loved the place and the staff. A bit disappointed with the food as many things had ran out (is also a sign of freshness so not necessarily bad) but I then had something for lunch I didn't enjoy. My friend was very happy with her food.
